BEEFY201814 Feb 2018 20:28For the achievements requiring Hard Difficulty, make sure that if you restart the game via Retroarch's Quick Menu that you return to the Options menu and ensure it shows the difficulty correctly. If you do not go to the menu, then the game seems to start on Normal Difficulty even though you may have had it on Hard previously.
I made a video of my Hard Difficulty run without continues if anyone needs a bit of help tackling a particular stage/boss. You can find it at https://youtu.be/KJ5Zr6ldKj8
