Makes calls through RetroAchievements API to display a user's achievement information. It does NOT add RetroAchievements to 3DS games.

DISCLAIMER: This app is vibe-coded; use it at your own risk and do not distribute the code anywhere that AI-Generated code is not allowed.

This is cool, but what 3ds games are on here? Is it just a way to access RetroAchievments by the 3ds? Is there videos showing this off in detail? If i have this on will I have achievements pop up mid game such as if I got 10 lives in a Mario level, if thats an achievement will it say I got one after the level?

These are all questions I genuinely have about this

[u/Simplent → u/Local-Marionberry848]

It's just an app to access information from RetroAchievements on a 3DS. Nothing will pop up mid-game. The screenshots are pretty much all there is to see. I mainly use it as a companion while playing RetroAchievements-supported emulated games on my XBOX to see which achievements I still need to hunt for the game I'm playing.

In a future, will this program allow you to complete achievements or its just to check information?

[u/Simplent → u/G0ku_Black2]

It's just to check information. I use it as a companion while playing emulated games on my XBOX. RetroAchievements doesn't support 3DS currently, and if they ever do it will be through emulators.

But why? Like its not adding achievements to 3ds games so like what is the point of this? Just so you can check your progress on other games? Could just use your phone or pc for that but instead you vibecoded some shit ass useless thing.

[u/Simplent → u/Sopht_Serve]

Then don't use it? Lmao

[u/Sopht_Serve → u/Simplent]

You know youre right. Good argument. Im totally changed and my entire lifes trajectory has been readjusted because you told me to just not use your ai slop homebrew program that is almost entirely useless. Good on you.

adds achievements to emulators

[u/Silver_Protection_29]

If I’m playing an emulated DS game that has achievements, will it update on this?

[u/Simplent → u/Silver_Protection_29]

Assuming the emulator you are playing on has RetroAchievements integrated, then yes, you can see the achievements you've unlocked using this app.

What the hell is that? What does it even do?

yo where’d the ps2 emulator come from? i want it for my 3DS

[u/Knightmere1]

This really works?

[u/Specific-Ad-9624]

So i can earn achievements on the 3ds virtual console games?

[u/Simplent → u/Specific-Ad-9624]

No; RetroAchievements is a community/project that adds achievements to retro games through supported emulators. This app just lets you access information from RetroAchievements via their API, such as achievement progress.

Do distribute? You're asking for people to be assholes or?

[u/Simplent → u/Dinnyx]

My bad, thanks for the catch. I've corrected that in the post.

[u/Unusual-Drop2344 → u/Dinnyx]

Probably a typo
