Sweet.
How do achievements work? Do they require certain roms, or can you use rom hacks/different headers?
I think they work through by going by the rom name and then checking the database online. I don’t know if romHacks work, it really depends if the community added it. You have to make a (free) account on the website to track your achievements and link to your emulator. Some emulators work with it, some don’t. But I haven’t dug deep on my retropie/retroarch devices to know if they all work.
I have nes->psx on this device so I’ll be testing a lot tonight.
I know delta and PPSSPP in iOS have support for it, but Delta requires a patreon subscription to use achievements so I won’t be doing that.
I’d like to revisit building a PiBoy. Was gonna do it. Never did. Any build guides with shopping lists and software lists that you would recommend?
Uhhh I’m not sure, this case is a kit that comes with everything but the pi, batteries, and sd card.
As far as software, I just roll a retropie image that I customize with Gameboy splash screens, etc.
I’m more experienced building retropies into a Nintendo cartridge. I used to make a ton of them during the pandemic. I eventually made my own retropie image that was all set up for mass producing.
retro achievements on retroarch ps vita is my thing rn. sadly not possible on mister pi or analogue pocket but i’ll take it!
Oooh gonna try & get this going on my r36s!
Someone else in this comment thread claimed it needs internet access, hope you like that dongle life.
Dangit. 🫠
This is so rad, I didn’t even know it was a thing!?
I didn’t either until recently. Highly suggest checking out Retroachievements.org
Ship of Theseus: if you strip out a gameboy processor for a rpi is it even still a Gameboy?
It’s a lookalike case, not an actual DMG
Yeah I would never harm a beloved Gameboy. I also collect gameboys and their games. I restore them
I do the same with Game Gears :-)
Handhelds are so cool. I’d love to have a game gear one day
You know that part where you take the secret portal in the bar to another dimension? How do you get past that? I have up on the game because I was just getting slaughtered.
Fun game until that. it really made me laugh.
There is a pattern to which teleport guy to talk to in the right order. I can never remember it and it’s always the most frustrating part.
