Yeah, I hate how it lets me play all my favorite retro games on all my devices - including my Switch - under a clean and unified interface. Real shit software tbh. /s
Blazekickn 7 Mar 2019 11:26
Pretty sure the Gambatte core was changed semi-recently in a way that broke it for all achievements and it hasn't been fixed for some reason. Use Gearboy or Sameboy in the meantime.
ahstro 7 Mar 2019 11:30
Blazekickn: Thanks for the tip! For Tetris DX specifically or for all games? Because I've been playing regular Tetris and Wario Land and it has worked fine :/
Blazekickn 7 Mar 2019 11:50
unsure about GB but a lot of GBC broke for sure.
Keltron3030 26 Nov 2019 02:52
Hey, Tetris fans I added 6 leaderboards.
Keltron3030 26 Nov 2019 13:09
Decided to settle on just 3 LBs. One for each game mode at the highest difficulty.
GegeT2 26 Mar 2020 10:09
hi, sorry for my english, how to increase the power for 1500 and 2000 achievements? thank you
TheHaze34 31 Mar 2020 22:23
Start a new file. Try to get as much tetrises as possible.Rather die with only few lines erased than continue deleting singles and doubles.
GegeT2 1 Apr 2020 14:11
ok big thank you i try this
GegeT2 1 Apr 2020 15:30

What is the "Take it Back" achievement?
SleeperOPMD 7 Jun 2020 22:13
I take it this forum is dead.
Keltron3030 7 Jun 2020 22:30
Nope... https://retroachievements.org/achievement/18642
TheHaze34 13 Jun 2020 20:49
AFAIK "take it back" is only possible with RAVBA.Set the emulator to classic GB mode.
ChippiHeppu 20 Jun 2020 21:19
Mastered on top of snatching every top spot on the leaderboards :)

Mastered!
LarviStar37 17 Dec 2021 01:26
MASTERED! The whole achievement set took me around 4 hours and 10 minutes to complete! Hardest achievement was the Perfect Clear in marathon, 2nd hardest was clearing the 40 Lines mode with only Tetrises. Game Over; thank you for playing! https://i.imgur.com/u8GV1gb.png
Keltron3030 17 Dec 2021 01:45
Congrats :)
crvyxn 4 Nov 2022 15:58
overall great set but some of these feel super dependent on just getting lucky
mariteaux 26 Feb 2023 06:02
Random master! I say random because I'd started it when I made my account last year and thought I'd never manage a master because of the Vs Com achievements and the secret grade one. Then I got really annoyed going for Tetris GB and came back to this and mastered it within the day. I'll try to post some comments on the more confusing achievements giving people some tips, this game is not well-documented at all.
