Retro Achievements info & setup for RetroArch
94This video introduces you to Retro Achievements and explains how you can get setup using the system with the RetroArch emulation headend. It shows a brief history of achievements in gaming, mentions plenty of examples of how Retro Achievements functions and explains everything you will ever need to know about the system and its settings. See the timestamps below for specific topics.
You will need to sign up and verify your account at https://retroachievements.org/ . From there you can then log into this account through the Achievements section in the settings column of your RetroArch. Most versions of RetroArch should have compatibility with Retro Achievements, I know even my Miyoo Mini Plus emulation handheld has support for them (make sure it's not turned off in the UI, see the video). You can also adjust all of your settinsg including achievement popups, hardcore mode, encoure mode, screenshot mode, etc. RetroArch tutorial links below.
If you are running into a login error, "FIX: Open retroarch.cfg, CTRL + F "cheevos_password" and "cheevos_username", enter your RetroAchievements password/UN in plaintext, delete the "cheevos_token" value and then save." Re-enter your credentials in RetroArch and it should solve the problem (see video for example).
