[Feature Request] RetroAchievements support?

[Blakeinstein]

One reason I still have to use the inferior looking retroarch (awesome on consoles) is because of retro achievements.

With internal delta cores using melonds and the like, would it be possible in the ever future to integrate support for RA in delta?

For those who are not aware, retro achievements is an achievement tracker for retro games! Learn more here https://retroachievements.org/

This is one of my top priorities for new features rather than bug fixes, I absolutely love RetroAchievements. ❤️

One year later, could we hope for an eventual RetroAchievements support? I'd love to play NDS with RA but unfortunately the only mobile option is in Android with melonDS. Thanks in advance :)

Any news on this? Would LOVE to play GBA and NDS games with RetroAchievements compatibility.

Especially with the AppStore release now, it would be cool to see retro achievement support

I’ve played most of these games so many times now. Retroachievements is really the only reason I’d want to play Super Mario World for the 700th time. This project is awesome and if it had RA support, I’d never get any work done.

I second this! RetroAchievements are the only thing that is missing to ditch my Anbernic Handhelds for my iPhone. And RetroArch is not available on AltStore for me.

[nighto]

@mtoensing you can get a RetroArch .ipa on their website and install it with AltStore manually. That's how I roll on my iPhone :)

[mtoensing]

@nighto Without the Mac app? Just by using my phone? Is there a link for a tutorial?

[nighto]

@mtoensing you need the Mac or Windows app to do the sign, just like you need it to keep resigning every week, but you can do the whole process on your phone. There is no need for a tutorial: when opening AltStore you should see a Plus button on the top left, you click there, pick up the .ipa file (for instance on Files app, after having downloaded it on your browser or copied somehow) and that's it.

[mtoensing]

@nighto I live in the EU and opted for the EU AltStore App. So no Mac app. I don’t see a plus button other than to add new sources in the AltStore app. And I am a Patreon.

[nighto]

@mtoensing Oh I see. Then I don't know, didn't try that yet, sorry.

Although I love Delta in its current state, I think the lack of RetroAchievements support is the only thing holding it back in my book. If such support is implemented, I think this might flat-out become my most used iPhone app. Especially if RetroAchivements' hardcore mode is implemented, the app would feel complete to me. Here's to hoping for RA support!

I'm with you on this. This app is amazing but I'm simply not going to play unless RA is here.

[nighto]

@mtoensing just to let you know that RetroArch launched on App Store ;-)

[mtoensing]

@nighto thanks! I already installed at and now enjoy emulation on iOS with RA. Uninstalled delta since it is now obsolete

RetroAchievements is the only thing making me want to use RetroArch. The Delta user experience is so much better, but I don't feel like using it without achievement support...hope it gets added. If I'm gonna spend all this time playing old games, I'd like to at least be able to show my achievements. :)
