This is rad.
Someone created a proof of concept build that adds #RetroAchievements support to the #MiSTerFPGA!
https://github.com/odelot/Main_MiSTer/releases
It feels like it pushes against the MiSTer ethos, but I don't care. We have save states already, and I love RAs to the point where I've much stopped using my MiSTer because it doesn't have them. Getting them working is a real plus.
There's even early support for hardcore achievements on some cores!
Really hope it makes it into the main branch.
I reworked my #Retroachievements play activity and progress tracker to only account for "Progression" and "Win Condition" achievements. Now I'm feeling a lot more confident about finishing “Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons”. My estimated remaining play time dropped from 25 hours to 5 hours... 😅

I built a small progress calculator for #RetroAchievements using their API, and it's showing ~23h to beat LOZ Oracle of Seasons based on my progress speed. Compare that to 18h estimate from "Time to Beat"... this has been accurate to my feelings. I've been loving the @delta_emulator + Pocket Taco + RetroAchievements combination so far :)

I mentioned it a while ago when I played old Tiny Toons games, but I wanna mention it in general, as well:
"RetroAchievements" is a website that basically allows you to collect Achievements / Trophies in old games, before systems got achievement-systems, as long as your used emulator supports it.
I think it's a really fun idea, especially, of course, if you're an achievement hunter:
Recently, after its adittion to the fantastic platform #retroachievements I'm replaying Wii catalog.
Wii had a fantastic catalog and playing it with Doplhin using a real WiiMote is amazing.
Dolphin team work is absolutely astonishing, thanks for let us enjoy two of my all-time favorite systems, Gamecube and Wii.
