## 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](https://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](https://docs.retroachievements.org/Emulator-Support-and-Issues/) and check if your game has achievements available by searching for it on RetroAchievements.org
|
|
- There is a change needed on the RetroAchievements API in order to be able to display to display your history of earned achievements in EmulationStation. Once the needed change is made by RetroAchievements; we can look at renabling this functionality in EmulationStation. |
