It might be possible to move the achievement, that might be easier though I don't recall having a problem. The trigger is just to tell me an achievement is valid.

If you play on RetorArch, go to: "settings >> achievements >> leaderboards", then select the "only notifications" option.

Maybe the names of these options are a little different in your interface because I use it in another language.

This doesn't stop you from unlocking speedrun achievements, the emulator continues timing your game, but is hidden. If you play on RALibRetro, I can't tell you.

@mauricioreis
they hide also the achievements in the botton-right corner...

Only version 1.0 supports the trophies for anyone having similar difficulties as me

Ahoy,

Can someone confirm if I need a fresh save file to complete the secrets cheevos and the extreme raider ones? Or can I hop back and get them with level select.

I ask as I see some comments saying secrets must be with a fresh save. Others suggesting Extreme Raider pops fine using existing save level select.

So good playing this old classic again. I agree with the other poster: level design is excellent. I think despite some clunk and triangular boobs this game holds up really well. Thoroughly enjoying it.

I'm really not sure now. I reset beat lv9 and it wouldn't pop on ng+. Looking at your progress I'd say it's a redundant question as you're going to need to do extreme from lv2 onwards so you might as well do them in order and rush lv1. If I had to give my answer, I'd say you need to do it NG as enemies in NG+ are stronger and you're still stuck with pistols so in a way it's easier to go NG anyway even if it means rushing through levels you've already done on extreme.
foxsevent 19 Jan 2024 16:49
You can't use Ng+ as it gives you infinite ammo but also you don't want to as in this or tr2 Ng+ doubles enemies health.
Make a save before you beat the final level and use level select from that save.
dentofdoom 19 Jan 2024 20:35
Ahh, maybe it was the NG+ inf ammo that was making the secret achievements not pop for the person whose comments I was reading.

Iโ€™ll try level 2 from my level select now for secrets and Extreme Raider and report back.

Iโ€™ve not beaten the game yet but also not skilled enough to go ploughing in for extreme or all secrets on my current playthrough, so itโ€™s nice hopping back to more thoroughly conquer old levels when I get tired of being savaged by panthers and mummiesโ€ฆ
dentofdoom 19 Jan 2024 21:41
OK, can confirm that both Extreme Raider and Secret cheevos can be got using level select (i.e. going back to previously played levels) BEFORE completing the game and activating NG+

Finally mastered. The last two levels on Extreme Raider destroyed me mentally. I cried when I mastered the last achievement. Thanks for the set that I mastered in honor of my childhood experiences <3 Have fun to everyone who still wants to master it. You need it :)

Mastered! Extreme Raider gave me such anxiety. lol It wasn't even the enemies that mostly killed me. It was the damn falls and traps. But it's done and I did it! ^_^
KeeraFox 5 Mar 2024 14:52

Could anyone provide me with a link to a rom that works with achievements? Because I downloaded one but it's not getting the achievements in question.
VSilverwings 17 Jun 2024 01:49
Don't post links to games! That's like rule 101!
ImoenBG 1 Aug 2024 21:12
I am puzzled how people mastered this game (or many other where continual progress is needed) in hardcore mode, if no save states/loads are allowed...it requires to complete it on just only one long run?! Cheats (like level skip) block cheevos when entered. What is the method, am I missing some setting or...?
MauricioReis 1 Aug 2024 21:49
You are confusing the emulator's save/load state tools with the game's natural save system. Virtually no PS1 and higher console games need to be completed in a single run due to how long the campaigns are, the game's innate save system, through Memory Card emulation, is fully permitted.
ImoenBG 1 Aug 2024 23:28
@MauricioReis OMG! Thanks, mate! So obvious... and I was thinking people use some hibernation tricks or making dumps...I found this achievements&emulators universe only recently, so still learning the things but truly amazed what this enthusiastic community did and is still doing.
MauricioReis 2 Aug 2024 02:10
Don't worry, there are many players with this same question, playing and browsing the site you will easily get used to the concepts here, feel free to ask whenever you want, the majority here like to help! Good luck with the challenges and have fun!
