Could it be console-friendly?

Could it be console-friendly?

Hi there!

So, I'm not a very techy guy, so I don't know how possible is this, but I think asking won't kill me lol: I love achievements, and although I haven't been able to sit and master a lot of sets, I've been enjoying my time with RA. Now that I saw that the Wii and GameCube got added, I'm wondering, taking on account that console has wi-fi still (thanks hackers) and also a lot of homebrew (again thanks people that know how to do this stuff), could you add RetroAchievements to the console so you can play your disc Wii or Cube games on your TV with your native controls and also unlock thingies?

Maybe it's already been done, if that's the case, please guide me to a tutorial! If not, would it even be possible?

My first event award.

I participated in the Pixel Heart Rave, and I really enjoyed it, it was a lot of fun getting the achievements and trying out new things, honestly I'm very happy ^^

Interestingly, the games above are the ones I made the game master after the other 50 that I posted here :)

Mastering the megadrive 100/101 dynamite headdy

Eng/Jap sets the Japanese set is much more forgiving than the English think they cracked it up for the rental market and cut the story for some reason idk.

The meat is in the English played this as a teenager so I had experience before hand but what I didn't know about was the 1 hit KO mode with the bonus ending so on top of 1 hit death you gotta stop and shoot some 3 pointers what a slog that was. Practice your bosses boys and girls your gonna need it.

If anyone wants to try the 1 hit KO mode there is 2 spots you can farm lives but only 1 that's manageable in 8-3 but make sure you can at least beat 9-2 no damage before hand easily the hardest level in the game to perfect

Help with Megaman 8

I was trying to get all the achievements in Mega Man 8. I tried to get the 40 bolts achievement, but even after collecting all 40, the game didn't register the achievement. I had quit the game, and when I loaded the save, the counter had reset to 1. Will I have to start another save?

Mastered #26: Burger Island (Wii)

"Oh what a simple set and game, this will be a fun quick set to finish" -clueless.

I'll be honest with you, this set nearly broke me by the end, the first 30 levels weren't that bad but by the 50s, the game demands you to try getting large amounts of cash by the end in only 3:00 minutes and you will have to hope that the rng gives you the orders that give you large amount of cash because even if you play perfect and go as fast as you can the game will just not give you enough and you will have to just do it over and over again.

Even after finishing the game on jumbo I had to replay the game again because I died too many times and lost my rank because of course the cooking game has lives of all things.

I did replay it on easy and got to rank 10 by level 35 so it wasn't that bad, I might play the ds version someday but im sick of playing burger island.

No login on PCSX2?

No login on PCSX2? after looking at some videos it should appear near where the overlay settings are, unless this was changed in a later firmware? I'm updated onto the latest firmware of PCSX2.

Armored Core First Generation Mastery #7 #8 #9

This was one of the most fun I've had doing a set, and I'm amazed at how these games still hold up to this day. The controls are a bit clunky, sure, but they're not that bad — and with some keybinding , they stop being that big of a issue.

This was my first time playing a mech game, and I think it was the best possible choice to start with.

10/10 games — I would recommend them to anyone. 10/10 RetroAchievements set as well. Big thanks to Falcus for developing this set.

Mastery #35: Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap (6th Zelda Mastery!)

A Zelda game I've never played until now. I didn't know this is where Vaati made his debut. I always remembered him from that 4 swords adventure game for like the Gamecube or something like that. I really enjoyed this game. Can't believe it's taken me this long to finally get around to play it

This set definitely has what I would consider the single hardest achievement out of all the Zelda games I've mastered so far: Beating Vaati without getting hit. That took me hours to do. Lol But holy shit did it feel good to finally get it. I was afraid of messing up the final leg of the last phase because of my heart racing. The worst part about the achievement is the run back to Vaati after each fail. Fighting those 3 darknuts before Vaati over and over really takes the momentum out of things. Beating the Gyrog Pair was also a challenge without getting hit. Not near as hard as Vaati, though.

Rest of the set is standard Zelda set. Collect everything, do a 3 heart run. One of the harder 3 heart runs in my opinion. But it could also have been because I wasn't super familiar with the game. Definitely had resort to fairies on my first fight against Vaati.

The figurine achievement made me roll my eyes upon reading it at first. Mostly because I had done it in Wind Waker. But in this game it is far less time consuming and easier to do. So it wasn't bad.

The Vaati achievement alone, I think, makes this the hardest Zelda I've mastered so far, with the ALttP in a close second, followed by the original Zelda.

On to Zelda: The Adventure of Link!

Mastery #11 - The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past

Forgot to post this one right away. Blind and Mothula damageless had me raging a bit, but other than that, this set was a lot of fun. Jack of all trades was really cool, would never have thought to do that. Ocarina of Time is next!

Is Mouse Injector allowed on Dolphin Emulator hardcore mode. I want to replay some FPS games I loved back then with a mouse.

If you have used it please let me know if it is allowed. I assume it is because you can bind a mouse anyway it feels terrible that way tho and since Mouse Injector is a third party outside tool I want to be sure it's safe before I use it.

PSA: Save often D:

Playing Minish Cap and my game froze mid pull on the final Figurine. I was also over halfway done with the Kinstones and the only heart piece I needed was the one after getting all the figurines.

Now i'm back to a single row of hearts, no figurines, and have to redo most of the kinstone fusions. An entire days worth of stuff gone.

Save often, friends. Lol
