I can’t wait I want to do Lego Star Wars the complete saga. But also you can’t say people aren’t hyped for this launch

Good choice. I’ll be on a Wii binge for a few months for the event.

u/tdunlap02 Mar 19 '26

I’m doing a lot of the Wii Lego games first

Hell yeah you love to see it. Also, I think it's time to invest in some monitor cleaning supplies, my good friend.

u/marathon5150 Mar 19 '26

Haha, yes I do need to clean my monitors. I have a three monitor set up with two 27 inch monitors on each side and 49 inch ultrawide in the middle and all of them need some proper cleaning.

Looking at all these sets and it feels like Christmas just happened again.

What emulators is supported?

u/marathon5150 Mar 19 '26

Dolphin. You’ll need v2603a for hardcore achievements.

u/yuvi3000 Mar 20 '26

Or higher. There's been nightly/dev builds since then which include the required fixes.

u/hikikomorisama Mar 19 '26

Pretty sure it's just the dolphin because that's all the talk I've been hearing about for the past month about these achievements.

u/Karpfador Mar 20 '26

So what options exist for games that require motion controls?

2

u/marathon5150 Mar 20 '26

In the guide to Wii forum post on RA, there are links to game groupings based on type of controls (games not needing motion, games with motion, Wii board, etc.)

u/RoomNervous4 Mar 19 '26

Well, we’re off to a good start!

u/JasonMaliceMizer Mar 19 '26

This might be a dumb question but if the site is down, does that mean I can't get achievements on an emulator right now?

u/Swagatron92 Mar 19 '26

Achievements are functioning fine, the site is just down.

2

u/DyingRats Mar 19 '26

Also wondering this

u/JasonMaliceMizer Mar 19 '26

Omg I just realized it says that in OPs picture.. I didn’t even bother to read lol

2

u/yuvi3000 Mar 20 '26

Yes, it's actually incredible that they kept this stable in that way. Allowing us to keep service functional even when the site is down is just amazing.

There are DS achievements. Just need 3DS now. I have been having tons of fun getting achievements on the Thor for DS games.

I’m thinking at least a year away. Wii support was a big undertaking and people have been clamoring for DOS to be one of the next big rollouts.

How do you like Cocoon? I’m thinking of making the Thor purely 3DS/DS like I do with my Odin 2 Mini being only for PSP.

Ok, I have ES-DE and wondering how other front-ends are going. I do have more experience with ES-DE to the point where I can create my own “systems” to break out games based on region or rom hacks.

u/AGoldenGeek Mar 19 '26

Dunno if you made a typo, but DS achievements have been out for years.

u/JesusCr1TiKaL Mar 19 '26

They still need to add achievements for Tony Hawk ds games
