Retro Score showing 0 all of a sudden?

Ive been largely away from launchbox for awhile.   Dove back in today to get caught up on all the latest and greatest and noticed my retroscore was showing as zero.  Checked the api/tested the integration and it was fine.   went to the retroachievements website and logged in which was also showing my achievements.

any idea why LB is showing 0?

The API has changed, also, only Hardcore achievements count going forward.

You can see the change on your banner on the website.

@neil9000 Do we just need to "Reset Web API Key"?

I didnt do anything to mine and its still working, but as i said above the system has changed and only hardcore achievements are shown now in Launchbox, as that is all that Retro Achievements now count towards your score, they do show your softcore score on the website, but its seperated out now and Launchbox is just showing your hardcore score now as is the way the Retro Achievements people want it now..

As you can see my score from the RA website is 1278 Hardcore and 1204 softcore.

And in Launchbox it's showing my score as 1278, which matches my hardcore score from the website.

Right ok so it's due to the fact I don't have a hardcore score yet  only a softcore score. Cheers for clearing that up for me. I am currently redoing my whole LB/BB build in my cab and thought I was missing something. Just need to find the easiest hardcore score to get so I can check it's working :)

Just watch the intro movie for Zero-Wing on megadrive, youll get the "all your base are belong to us" achievement.

@neil9000 Is there somewhere else I need to turn on the achievements as when I watched the whole intro nothing happened. It's being emulated using Retroarch using the core LB defaulted to "genesis_plus_gx_libretro"

You need to log into your account in Retroarch as well, its the emulator that gives out the achievements.
