Getting API key #1

Closed schrammalama closed 1 year ago

I was wondering how to get the RetroAchievements API key, I think I found where it should be but it just says not found. It would be great to have some different documentation in the read me as well.

On retroachievements.org in the setting there's a field called Web API Key thats the API key this application wants.

If you dont get the key written correctly in gaming mode, it can also (in desktop mode) be pasted into a retroachievements file located in the homebrew folder.

Is it the emuchievements.json file? it has space for the username and API key but even once filling in out all it does is load/

After making changes to the file you will need to reboot. That did the trick for me at least.

closing this as it seems to have already been resolved :)

also if you have a lot of games with achievements, it can take a while to load. working on rewriting a lot of stuff, so will be better s00n
