End of Digimons
[█ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █] = 100% Completed

Digi-Evolutions
[█ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ ] = 100% Completed

Hit Combos
[█ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ ] = 100% Completed

Extras
[█ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ ] = 100% Completed

Done...

So this is the RA Checksum that i got from the game: 5a5720eeeea9c04184e1796abc8bbab9 (European PAL version, just to be clear).

So in a nutshell, how do i add this to the game page for that is already here? I did try to link it through RALibretro app, but it just says that the ROM i am trying to add is not in the database or something.

Artzei You have the European version but the set has only USA version linked. Your Rom will work normally but the set wouldn't be loaded because of this fact. Only devs can add hashes to the sets, by the way.

So, the only way to play this set is searching for USA version of the game and run it on emulador again. This happens because it's not so simple to add a multiregion support to all games...

Is just an idea, but, if there is an achievement for the original clothes of the childs, may be another cheevo, using the original clothes of wormmon (digimon emperor)??

Devs for this game are inactive for pretty long, but it is possible to add the Japanese version (Digimon Tamers Battle Evolution) to the list of hashes? It has a way, way better soundtrack. Also, if it's not possible, then maybe one can add the NTSC-U game with the Japanese Soundtrack patch to the list of supported hashes? Thanks for this amazing set.

Ticket #41037
In addition to fixing up Punching Bag to work with characters that don't digivolve, I also fixed both it and the other two mini-games to protect from the demos


Ticket #41045
This was an issue that affected more than just Renamon's digivolve achievement, but has now been solved with adding a demo mode check


Ticket #57433 and Ticket #41044
These both have to do with the combo achievements, and the fixes then were applied to both and the remaining combo achievements


Ticket #57459
Was missing a check for being in the final battle of 1 Player Mode, and I've changed it to checking the number of rounds the player has won instead of checking for credits. Same thing was done for two other achievements


Ticket #57462
Like with the previous ticket, a new method for checking that the player cleared 1 Player Mode by looking at the number of rounds won in the final battle

I updated almost all the titles and descriptions for achievements to be more in line with the Digimon lore and to fix some grammar stuff.

While doing so, I noticed the game is begging for a revision, there is a lot of bugs still hiding in the achievements and a good chunk of content that is either not covered with the current ones or could be done better.
I am not planning to make a revision for this set at the moment, but I'll leave all my finds here in case anyone wants to pick it up:

1-Player mode achievements:
*Achievement Rookie Rumbler (5) should be changed to unlock whenever you beat the game on any difficulty, not force you to play it on Easy difficulty
*Achievement I don't need a Digivice! (25) should be changed to only count if you use a Digimon that can evolve, since currently you can just use stuff like Reapermon or Omnimon and the achievement will still pop.
*Achievements that ask the player to use the original costume of characters ( True Test of Courage (25), True Friendship is Forever (25), Child of Hope (25) and Child of Light (25)) should be changed to either require a playthrough in any difficulty or just be a VS Computer mode achievement like the Digimon fights. A new achievement for Ken's Digimon Kaiser outfit should also be added.
*Add achievements for beating 1-Player mode with a character on Hard difficulty (could either make the Normal difficulty ones unlockable on easy as well or just remove them altogether)
*Add achievements for beating 1-Player mode with special characters? This makes the run much easier, so I don't know how interesting it would be. It's worth noting that the only Digimon that can do this are Reapermon, Omnimon, Imperialdramon Paladin Mode and BlackWarGreymon, evolutions of other Digimon can't enter 1-Player mode already evolved.

Hit count achievements:
*Currently, the achievements are kind of buggy, they sometimes don't pop when they should. I think they currently don't work when your opponent is digivolved, but I haven't tested it yet.

VS achievements:
*I would change this achievement Royal Knight vs Demon Lord (10) of Omnimon vs Beelzemon to Gallantmon vs Beelzemon instead, a much more iconic fight.
*To replace Omnimon being dropped, a new achievement could be made for Omnimon vs Imperialdramon (Fighter Mode)
*Another idea would be to remove the achievements for Imperialdramon Paladin Mode and Reapermon vs anyone and replace them with an Imperialdramon Paladin Mode vs Reapermon achievement. (The Reapermon achievement is too easy even in Hard, so if it does stay it should have its points reduced from 10 to 5)
*There could also be some achievements for fighting against the Digimon's evolution (so Agumon vs WarGreymon, Guilmon vs Gallantmon, etc)
*Lastly, it'd probably be a good idea to change all achievements (Except the new Imperialdramon Paladin Mode vs Reapermon and the ones vs the evolution) to allow the player to choose either of the Digimon involved in the fight.

As stated by the post above, Dreaker has done an excellent job with the updated titles and achievement descriptions. Also a thank you to Arvenyte for kickstarting this writing request by providing almost all of the new achievement titles. All of the changes can be found in the following spreadsheet!
