No response
I just tried (after deleting my gamelist.xml ) and it works perfectly....
The problem is on your side, sorry.
After checking the "atari2600 (V1.2 Gilou9999)" set, and compared to a GOOD romset.
There are many games that have an unknown hash in this set.
Exemple for the game Asteroids (USA) :
The hash of this game on your set is B227175699E372B8FE10CE243AD6DDA5
( you can check with an online tool https://emn178.github.io/online-tools/md5_checksum.html -> Extract the .a26 file then drop it ).
The hash is unknown with retroachivements.
The only supported hash is dd7884b4f93cab423ac471aa1935e3df
See on this page. https://retroachievements.org/linkedhashes.php?g=11687
So, It's not a problem with EmulationStation but to the romset...
Either change the romset, either contact retroachivements.org
( And next time, verify by yourself )
I suspect a sporadic issue with Retroachievement API. I can reproduce now, it was OK yesterday.
still blocked for me, even though I checked my hashes and I don't use the "atari2600 (V1.2 Gilou9999)" set.
For example here the hash from my game "Princess Rescue"
and here the supported hash game files :
Having said that, it's far from being a major problem, I just wanted to warn you.
Now, if it's better for me to keep my mouth shut, I'll do so in future.
No game is working ? you probably have cheevos feature missing in es_features.cfg or some custom things in es_systems.cfg.
Could you provide that files so we can check ?
All the games work correctly with the retroachievements, only the cheevos icons don't appear after a Games indexing.
Here my es_features.cfg and es_systems.cfg :
es-files.zip
you mean you have correct <cheevosHash> and <cheevosId> values in gamelist.xml ??
Are you sure you did not uncheck "show retroachivements icon" for this system ?
I think we don't understand each other.
I don't have cheevosHash and cheevosId after a "Games indexing".
ES say "Indexing completed. Update gamelists to apply changes", but after update nothing is incremented in the gamelist, neither cheevosHash nor cheevosId.
If I insert the lines manually by myself in the gamelist it works.
Anyway. Since several days, every access to their doRequest.php API has been forbidden on retroachivements.org and returns a 403 error, so indexing is no more possible since a few days.
I contacted them...
As long as they block us, we can't test anymore.
For your information, I wrote a bit of code ( in my latest PR ) to manage & display the received error from their servers when they send an error.
This is what I get actually :
As long as they block us, we can't index games, and we also can't activate achievements ( if not activated )
