Updated Rich Presence to include Simon's Level & hearts.
Mutawarrior 15 Mar 2020 09:27
Based on the current hash calculation method (which changed as of RANES v.15), the hash you should use for doing my achievements (don't know about the ones made by other devs) is 755f9086b0567243b3ce25cc8a6dfd17
Mutawarrior 15 Mar 2020 09:29
A bunch of my achievements do not work in the Mesen core in RetroArch. Please use RANES as they were made using that emulator with its memory mapping. They may work in FCEUmm in RAlibretro but I'm not 100% certain.
greasystumps 5 May 2020 09:24
All achievements worked perfectly with FCEUmm
Akadosan 2 Nov 2020 08:06
While people said previously it worked with the redacted version i couldn't manage to make it work with the redacted version, it simply doesn't show any achievements to obtain
AntonioFNN 3 Nov 2021 21:53
The set works great with the FCEUMM core. 5 stars, great fun
PsyHunter29 24 Nov 2021 15:53
@Akadosan, I think that's the point. If my understanding is correct, patches like Simon's Redaction alter the checksum value of the ROM, which RetroAchievements uses to determine what game you're playing. Typically, this is used to prevent people from cheating by using patches that make the game easier. But in this case, since the quality of life improvements added in Simon's Redaction (faster text, etc.) are so worthwhile, would it be right to make an exception in this case?
automidnight 16 Jan 2022 17:42
Great set, lots of fun, thanks!
SoHai 25 Jan 2022 01:48
HARDCORE MASTERED!
Jazmataz 30 Jan 2022 10:49
The Cheeves worked really well with Retroarch's FCEUMM core. The leather Whip Challenge was grindy. CV NES Trilogy is now done.
TheMysticalOne 27 Mar 2022 20:50
Since the game measures your time, I added a leaderboard.
VerucaSweet 3 Sep 2022 00:02
sacred flame cheevo didn't pop, rib didn't pop. really frustrating to look this up and realize I have to replay the whole first part of the game because I was using the wrong core.
campusito 20 Oct 2022 17:10
My Retroarch shows that this game gas no achievements.I tried different names for the rom and still the same.
TheMysticalOne 20 Oct 2022 17:12
Most likely you'll need a different one. Yours is probably not the right hash.
Mutawarrior 20 Oct 2022 22:18
I recommend not using Retroarch or at least not writing tickets if certain achievements don't work in it as the set was made way before Retroarch support was added. It was made using RANES so I'd use that or the FCEUMM core in RAlibretro.
ArmeniusLOD 22 Oct 2022 02:27
@campusito I've been using the Mesen core and it works fine for me.
TheMysticalOne 12 Dec 2022 16:50
Added some variety of Trigger icons and Measurements (to the 7 signs and 13 books)
GrayCloudSpectator 20 Jan 2023 18:44
Mesen worked flawlessly for me for every achievement in this set.
ChronoGear 1 Feb 2023 00:21
Mastered! Thanks @jazmataz for the tip about the password. If not for that I might have had to turn off achievements on my emulator
DEATHDragon 17 Jul 2023 23:30
What a horrible game to have a Master.

Seriously, this game is so bad. The AVGN was spot on with the criticisms this game receives. You have to backtrack so much just to complete the game. And only 3 bosses. And each one of them is pathetic. Not only that, the game recycles tilesets and mirrors them just to artificially extend the play time. It's so despicable. I did like the towns and shops, and how the game felt more like a metroidvania, but the fact that there's NO way to return to a previous spot without having to go AAAAAALLLLLLLL the way back by walking is just awful.

Good ideas, shitty execution. Thankfully this format got perfected in future entries.
