RetroAchievements Intergation?

Open NOTtanuki opened this issue 9 months ago • 5 comments

The In-game achievements are literally perfect and it got me wondering if it was possible to integrate support for RetroAchievements? It would be perfect for the standalone category.

Achievements from RetroAchievements are based on PlayStation 2 and Wii versions of the game. And these ports completely different from Xbox 360 game. Pretty sure they don't compatible.

I assume the "standalone" platform is relatively new? https://retroachievements.org/system/standalone-102/games I can't find anything about "standalone" in the official dev docs (https://docs.retroachievements.org/developer-docs/)

That's not what they meant. Within RA, there's different sets for the same game for different releases of the game. The Standalone category found in the site is used for independent, non-emulated games, for example, and I agree that some kind of implementation would be great to see.

It's been there for a while and while no documentation has been publicly made within the RA site itself, their repository does have a page in adding integration to a project with their API. I'd probably look here for more info on integration and you can reach out to the website's engineer, WCopeland, for more info as well.

Came back to add that the site now has added a proper documentation about how standalone support works and the steps necessary for approval.
