yaroslawww 3 Dec 2020 18:21
when the game starts, an inscription appears "achievements and leaderboards for the game will be loaded, but you will not be abel to earn modify them or modify core notes for the game"I cannot complete achievements
Keltron3030 3 Dec 2020 20:29
Hello, the message you are seeing is the system running in compatibility test mode due to you working with the wrong ROM. You will need to have the correct version in order to get working achievements.
Keltron3030 3 Dec 2020 20:29
Check the initial forum post for the correct versions. https://retroachievements.org/viewtopic.php?t=3876
DarknessZedzi 4 Apr 2021 18:11
Added, upon request, 18 new leaderboards for passing with a minimum number of destroyed units and structures (one for each mission starting from the third where there was no leaderboard before). Music must also be turned on for them.
LootusMaximus 7 Jul 2021 14:11
i assume it has full cheat protection?
LootusMaximus 7 Jul 2021 14:13
ok just looked at code. nvm
DarknessZedzi 25 May 2022 09:50
I've added activity icons and progress bars to some of the achievements. In achievements for destroying no more than X enemy structures / with no more than X of your dead units, the progress bar goes in reverse order (from X to 0). When playing with retroarch, for some achievements to work correctly, version 1.9.9 or later is needed.

Mastered.
This is a realy good, diverse set. 9-ordos is the cherry on top of it.

Mastered. Thanks for this wonderful set!

A fabulous set of achievements crafted for "DUNE: The Battle for Arrakis" was provided by DarknessZedzi, and I liked how the achievement developer made sure the background music had to be left turned on before they could be unlocked.

If one decides to turn off the game's music before playing, the achievement distribution system will be paused, as in suspended, until the background music option had to be changed back to its default setting. It is advised that the music setting must be enabled before these tasks will be registered.

REMINDER: Turning off the music also disables achievements.

How do you do challenge 2? Are those your base constructions, or all constructions in map?
BlueWolfDog57300 23 Dec 2024 14:54
I certainly do not know, jagripino. DarknessZedzi might want to help you. If you follow the instructions carefully, it is important to keep the total number of buildings at two or less (only Refineries and Spice Silos will count).

If you want that achievement when playing via BizHawk, RALibRetro or RetroArch, please leave the game's music turned on, or "DUNE: The Battle for Arrakis" will not let you unlock the award you wanted as it requires the victory fanfare to be played out.

[🏭✖2️⃣✅➡🗼✖2️⃣✅] [🎼🎶🔛]
DarknessZedzi 23 Dec 2024 15:04
jagripino - only constructions owned by the player are counted. If a construction is destroyed, it will no longer be counted. If a construction on an enemy base is captured by a player, it will start to be counted.
koteshi 4 Mar 2025 21:53
Too bad the German rom isn't supported too, but oh well.
I really like this game especially when you consider it came out before C&C and such a nice set.
