We've got a really cool feature in the works, something that's never been done in the emulation community!

For now, I've created test builds based on the v19 alpha 1 release of Matrix:

Retro Achievements via RetroAchievements.org is available in later versions of RetroArch:

Ah, nice! Really hope that makes it into Kodi 19.x "Matrix" so it will attract more retro gaming nerds to the community! Big Grin

I could see RetroAchievements integration having the potential of becoming so much more someday Wink
