Identify Games with RetroAchievements Sets but Invalid Hashes

📋 Summary

Enable users to audit their LaunchBox library by identifying games that have a RetroAchievements set available, but where their local ROM does not match the required hash to unlock achievements.


🎯 Feature Overview

Add functionality to flag games that are eligible for RetroAchievements but are currently not compatible due to a mismatched hash. This could appear as a new badge variant (e.g. a slashed achievement icon), a playlist filter option, or be included in audit/export tools.


🛠 Example Use Case

  • A user scans their library and sees badges showing which games could support RetroAchievements but currently don’t because of incorrect or outdated ROMs.

  • They filter or create a playlist of these titles and update the ROMs accordingly to gain compatibility.

  • Users avoid the frustration of launching games expecting achievements, only to find none are loading.


📦 Benefits

  • Helps users bring their library into full compatibility with RetroAchievements.

  • Improves transparency of which games need attention or updated ROMs.

  • Supports achievement-focused collectors and players who want to “complete” their setup.
