Aevans0001 Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 Not sure how wide spread this is, but i was just playing Goldeneye and noticed that the info panel on launchbox shows no achievements available, but there are and I got one.

JoeViking245 Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 Retroachievements has it listed as "Goldeneye 007". As a test, try renaming your game to that and see if the achievements show up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But hey, who am I to say. lol You'll come across other games that may not show having achievements as well. Sometimes it happens with game titles that have "&" in it. Also, game titles that are "The Game Title" vs. "Game Title, The". And also "The Game Title: Part 2" vs. "Game Title, The: Part 2". Lastly, they (Retroachievements) may also have games that have a pipe "|" in the title that can cause issues. I've never tested it, but you may be able to alleviate these potential issues by adding or setting Sort Title and/or Alternate Names.

So basically in order for LB/BB to show achievements, the game name in LB MUST be identical to the game name on the RetroAchievements (RA) website. So for example, lets say you import a N64 rom called "Donald Duck - Goin' Quackers.z64", the LB metadatabase will detect and name the game in LB as "Donald Duck - Goin' Quackers" but LB will say "This game has no achievements" because on the RA website, the game is listed as "Donald Duck - Goin' Quackers | Donald Duck - Quack Attack", so you MUST manually rename the game in LB to "Donald Duck - Goin' Quackers | Donald Duck - Quack Attack" in order for LB/BB to show the achievements. Also if your game name in LB has "&" in it and the RA website has it as "and" or vice versa, rename the game name in LB to the one that is on the RA website. As long as the game name in LB is exactly the same as the name on the RA website, letter for letter, number for number, special character for special character, the achievements will pop up.
