opeth2112 Posted Monday at 11:20 PM Posted Monday at 11:20 PM Is there anything on the roadmap for adding RA badges to the game listings in Android? It seems like such a simple ask, but I can only assume has some unknown roadblocks us commoners aren't aware of. Can we haz badges PLEEZ? Quote

It seems like such a simple ask, but I can only assume has some unknown roadblocks us commoners aren't aware of. Can we haz badges PLEEZ? Thanks for the request. The issue really lies in how we know a file is RetroAchievement compatible. RetroAchievements releases an official hashing program which is used to scan game files to grab the correct hash, which is then compared to an online database of hashes to find a match. The issue is that the program is not compatible on Android. There are ways around this but each have their issues. That would be one of the main pieces holding a feature like this back. Also note that LaunchBox for Android doesn't have a concept of badges like the Windows versions does, so we'd be more looking at filters and theme specific bindings. Quote
