Retro Achievements

KNULLI has a native integration with RetroAchievements which allows you to earn achievements as you play games across numerous emulators. In order to use RetroAchievements your device must be connected to the internet.

Error 419

While you can add your credentials to collect Retro Achievements, it is currently not possible to look at your collected Retro Achievements from the main menu. Any attempt to do so will result in an error message, referring to "Error 419". Our developers are aware of the issue and are working on a solution.

Until the issue is resolved, you can still look at your collected Retro Achievements from within RetroArch: Launch your game and press Function+ to bring up the RetroArch GUI and find Achievements.

Additionally, if the RetroAchievements option in the main menu annoys or confuses you, you can hide it from the main menu: Press Start to bring up the main menu, head to Game Settings and find RetroAchievement Settings. Here, you can toggle Show RetroAchievements entry in main menu on or off.

Setup

  1. Create an account at RetroAchievements.org.
  2. Follow the steps on the Networking page to connect your device to the internet.
  3. While in EmulationStation press START on your controller to open the Main Menu.
  4. Select Game Settings and then choose RetroAchievement Settings.
  5. Turn On RetroAchievements (first toggle).
  6. Then enter your username and password for RetroAchievements.org in the username and password fields.

Additional Notes

  • There are additional settings that can be changed in the above menu to tailor your experience. Please see the documentation @ docs.retroachievements.org for details on each option
    • Recommended Settings:
    • Unlock Sound (On): this plays the classic unlock sound each time an achievement is earned.
    • Automatic Screenshot (On): this takes a screenshot each time an achievement is earned and stores it in the screenshots directory. These can be viewed in the screenshots system in EmulationStation.
  • Not all emulators and games support RetroAchievements; please see the list of emulators that support achievements here and check if your game has achievements available by searching for it on RetroAchievements.org
