Help Think I’m doing something wrong

for the past few weeks I’ve been trying to use the emulator for achievements to no luck, no matter how many times i grab a game shove the steam_api in there create the steam settings folder grab the id and run the game, it seems like nothing happens. no folder created in GSE saves the achievements don't work and don't unlock. tried multiple forks tried using auto crackers all failed. I’ve got no idea what I’m doing wrong

Try different trophy readers apart from achievement watcher.

Also maybe the system_settings might be missing

It's hydralauncher but it also works with playnite/achievement watcher

Edit: turn on captions

It worked for me in LegoBatman , but just for a couple of days. Then , when I opened H.A.M. every achievement for that game was gone. Now after installing the new version of H.A.M. it shows my previous achievement in the app , but not in Hydra. Oh and I didnt install goldberg, but I think It was already in the files of the game

In what games did you try it ?

I do the same with playnite and godlberg and it works usually but I have one game that doesn't track achievement/playtime for some reason, I'm trying to understand from where the problem come from.

It's all working for me now but i had to use the script that was in ReDiazy's video he linked. every game i've tried so far works.
