If you think you've mastered all retro games, it's time to discover RetroAchievements: the retro version of PlayStation Trophies or Xbox Achievements!

What Are RetroAchievements?

RetroAchievements are unlockable achievements tied to your favorite old-school games. For example:

• Finishing a level
• Defeating a boss
• Finding a hidden bonus
• Completing the game 100%

Each game includes a variety of challenges—some quite tricky—that give classic titles a fresh layer of excitement.

How to Activate Them on Recalbox

1. Go to retroachievements.org and create an account.
   ⚠️ Avoid using special characters like $, !, etc. in your password to prevent login issues.

2. On your Recalbox:
   Go to Start > Game Options > RetroAchievements Options.
   Enable the feature and enter your username and password.

3. Launch a compatible game and start unlocking achievements!
