Mastered! This game is so good I'm actually sad that I completed it. Well, Ape Escape 2 when? hahaha
Butternnife 13 Jul 2022 15:21
Mastered. Can't wait for Ape Escape 2 and 3. Hopefully they have way more things to do!
urnhurrell 8 Sep 2022 19:45
Mastered! This one was rough. I saved the last boss for last, and made a few attempts at the specter boxing achievements first. That didn't go so well with my dual sense controller unplugging on me when I needed to violently rotate the sticks. I bought a controller for $5 at five below and it did the trick!
ElectricAngel 4 Dec 2022 04:56
Mastered! Really fun game! On to Ape Escape 2!
Golbi2654 5 Dec 2022 18:50
This, the sequels and PSP Remake should also support the European versions since they have interestingly different dubs.
televandalist 5 Dec 2022 19:29
Not happening until we have per-hash logic.
Golbi2654 5 Dec 2022 22:12
I wonder how can I add hashes of the ROM's CRC and SHA-1 to the RA database?
televandalist 6 Dec 2022 20:24
CRC and SHA-1 are not used. We go by either md5 or a custom RA Hash where only parts of a file are hashed to identify a game. Even then, you need developer permissions to do so.
Golbi2654 8 Dec 2022 16:22
Well here's an MD5 I got from my CHD:

336fa95a3e3316be2086bd1dd44ccfbd

Also, does RA support PAL PS1 games that are copy-protected unless you get an SBI file?
televandalist 14 Dec 2022 03:45
Please read my first comment again. Getting or linking the hash is not the issue.
Golbi2654 15 Dec 2022 19:05
You said it won't happen until you have per hash logic. Does that mean it's up to the developers themselves to get it?
MetalSnake 16 Dec 2022 20:21
@Golbi The achievements need to be coded, and in this case it needs a different code (logic) for a different version of the game (hash) which is not possible at the moment.
Golbi2654 17 Dec 2022 12:37
I see. Looks like it has to take a long time. I could wait for at least a year.
ChocoMilk 23 Jan 2023 23:47
Very much enjoyed my first time playing the game, thank you for the achievements! About 18 hours to master for me. The time trials were super fun, Specter's Factory was the only annoying one. Specter Boxing seemed like a nightmare at first, but with a great strategy in the comments it only took about an hour.
Nivek0402 25 Jan 2023 20:35
Finally Mastered! I really enjoyed playing the first Ape Escape. Thanks for the set! :D
tuxpenguin 26 Feb 2023 20:01
can someone responsible for this set add one achievement so we can have 69 achievements? thank you
healape 16 Apr 2023 01:25
Mastered! Thanks for the fun set!
