Only Standalone supports RetroAchievements, the core is too outdated to support it (same for PCSX2)

@RenanSD007 I'm working on an updated core here. The old core exposes ram from what I can see here, so it will probably work if the game is identified.

Anyways, the issue is about identification not working and if the core supports it is irrelevant.

jonian has been working on updating the core, but the iso hash generation/verification would be done by the frontend anyway.

I didn't know that 😅 sorry for the inconvenience

It seems that the issue has been fixed 2 weeks ago in RetroAchievements/rcheevos#353, so the rcheevos module needs updating. With the updated rcheevos it works even with the current (outdated) core!
