What’s retroachievements? Basically it adds XBOX Live style achievements and global high score tables to retro emulation platforms. This added layer of social gaming and community driven accomplishment hunting really builds on the retro games emulation experience. The best part is you can get it running on pretty much any platform you emulate games on, your phone, your deck, your weird android handheld, HTPC, even your lappy-5000.
Since RA adds score and achievement tracking, those of us who game at decisively higher levels and compete for the most glorious prizes imaginable like to use it to track our games. Now is a great time to get it set up, so when the call for challengers comes to Beehaw, you can dive right in.
Here are some of the most fun achievements I have personally gotten.
Batman Returns
Castlevania 3
Arthur’s Absolutely Fun Day
Felix the Cat
Anyway, this has been anarchist propaganda, toodles
This software sounds pretty sketchy, it must be allowed to view the entire system’s memory and it has a webserver? What could possibly go wrong?
This sounds like a fun idea, but hard pass!
“view the entire system’s memory” oh wow I never thought about it thaaaaaaaaaat whey
Here’s how it actually works if you are curious. https://docs.retroachievements.org/developer-docs/getting-started-as-an-achievement-developer.html
Yep. That’s what I read. I don’t like the idea of an app that examines other apps memory unless it’s either the OS or antivirus.
Fascinating. Good luck with this concept as you navigate computing. Taking a stand against the concept of computer memory is a new one for me.
