Cannot import some games from RetroAchievements

[Biel675]

Some games couldn't be imported from RetroAchievements. The list of games is as follows:

• Nintendo NES:

  • The Legend of Zelda

• Nintendo 64:

  • The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
  • The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask

• Nintendo Game Boy:

  • Pokémon Yellow

• Nintendo Game Boy Color:

  • Pokémon Gold
  • Pokémon Silver
  • Pokémon Crystal
  • The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX
  • The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons
  • The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages

• Nintendo Game Boy Advance:

  • Pokémon Ruby
  • Pokémon Sapphire
  • Pokémon FireRed
  • The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past & Four Swords
  • The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap

• Nintendo DS:

  • Pokémon HeartGold
  • Pokémon SoulSilver
  • Pokémon Black
  • Pokémon White
  • Pokémon White 2
  • The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass
  • The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks

It's weird that games like Pokémon FireRed and Pokémon Black weren't found while Pokémon LeafGreen and Pokémon Platinum were.

Can you try with the last release?

The same error happens, even when the game has the same name as on RetroAchievements.

I too am having this issue but with TimeSplitters 2 for PS2. The logs say this. 15-03 18:38:35.517|INFO |SuccessStory#PluginDatabaseObject`4:RefreshNoLoader(TimeSplitters 2 - 255a1ce5-16b0-42d8-ae27-6008c61ceba3) 15-03 18:38:35.517|INFO |SuccessStory#PluginDatabaseObject`4:Used SuccessStory.Clients.RetroAchievements for TimeSplitters 2 - 255a1ce5-16b0-42d8-ae27-6008c61ceba3 15-03 18:38:35.560|WARN |SuccessStory#RetroAchievements:No game find for TimeSplitters 2 with Sony PlayStation 2 in 10 15-03 18:38:35.560|INFO |SuccessStory#PluginDatabaseObject`4:No achievements find for TimeSplitters 2 - 255a1ce5-16b0-42d8-ae27-6008c61ceba3

And the game definitely has achievements.

Actually right now, even on games that I already have it displaying retro achievements, refreshing the data gives the same "No game find" and "No achievements find" messages, so maybe their API is having issues currently?

[NoShotz]

Yeah, today without any changes the achievements are being imported fine.

Playstation 2 achievements are currently broken for me. Importing from RetroAchievements yields nothing, even if the game name is a perfect match. And as @NoShotz mentioned, even games which have previously imported correctly show "no achievements found" in the log if you refresh the data. However, achievements are recognized correctly if I refresh a game for any other system - so it's not just server issues or something along those lines.

I wish it was possible to manually tie RetroAchievements to a library entry using the page URL, for instances where automatic lookup is malfunctioning.

4/2 edit: Just to verify, the issue has not resolved itself and Playstation 2 games still erroneously fail to import from RetroAchievements.

4/12 edit: Still unable to import achievements for that set of Playstation 2 games, and the new set for the arcade version of Pang also doesn't want to import. Maybe a caching issue? It only dropped earlier today.

4/26 edit: This remains broken, and I'm also unable to import RetroAchievements for some recent arcade sets like Pang and Dig Dug.

4/30 edit: The Mario 64 hack "Mario on Indigo Island" also will not import, despite having a hash correct rom.
