-RetroAchievements allows you to earn achievements on old retro games like Mario, Sonic, etc. on several home gaming systems, as well as some arcade games (like Neo Geo or some MAME games). This is very similar to Xbox 360 or PS3/PS4 achievements or successes and you’re able to keep track of what you’ve unlocked from [[http://retroachievements.org|their website]].

 +===== Custom achievement unlock sound =====
 +
 +Batocera comes with an assortment of custom sounds for achievement unlocks (some you may already be very familiar with), but it is also possible to add your own custom sounds to it. They must be in the OGG format in order to work.
 +
 +Place your sound files in ''sounds/retroachievements/'', they will then appear next time you open **GAMES SETTINGS** -> **RETROACHIEVEMENTS SETTINGS** -> **UNLOCK SOUND**.

 RetroAchievements are only available on certain Libretro cores (and from **v31** DuckStation). If you play a system that has both standalone and Libretro cores, make sure you select the compatible emulator/core. Not all Libretro cores are compatible with RetroAchievements. To see whether or not you can use RetroAchievements for a particular game, hold {{:wiki:south.png?nolink&20|South button (B SNES)}} (in **v30** and prior, press {{:wiki:north.png?nolink&20|North button (X SNES)}}) and look at the top of the per-game settings. Batocera tells you what core is currently configured, and which one is compatible with achievements (if there is one). RetroAchievements are only available on certain Libretro cores (and from **v31** DuckStation).

 Also, achievements can depend on the ROM format you are using. For example, for [[systems:psx|PlayStation 1]], make sure you are using ''*.cue'' + ''.bin'' or ''*.chd'' format as they are the only formats supported with RetroAchievements, and **not** the ''*.pbp'' format (may change in the future). For [[systems:psp|PlayStation Portable]] only pure ''*.iso'' is supported. Also, achievements can depend on the ROM format you are using.
