    Moving Goalposts of “Unwelcome Concepts” Cited

    Were these achievements justified to be demoted?

    Some users speak out.

    Muted for Response in the Set’s Official Forum Topic

    Well, thanks for showing why I want nothing to do with this site anymore.

    If anyone actually likes them, I have a significantly improved implementation. Message me if you are interested.

    The site mute was handed down even though the alternative was not even mentioned by name.

    A site-muted user cannot post in the forums or even respond to direct messages on the site.

    Was a site mute even warranted here? What forum rule was broken anyway?

    The FFV Central community is pleased to present Based Boards and automatic Based Badges courtesy of clymax. Manual Based Badges were previously announced here.

    The new features provide auto achievements and auto leaderboards for a select but growing number of titles on supported platforms. The platforms currently include NES and SNES.

    These new features are provided by FFV Central’s web emulator, which you can access here.

    The titles include many private romhacks and private translations of the FFV Central community. To see our supported titles, click here. For more on our distribution models, click here.

    Both scoring leaderboards and speedrun leaderboards are supported.

    A demo clip using the Whirlwind mod of Final Fantasy V is below. This one uses a speedrun leaderboard.

    For another example using the Four-Job Fiesta mod, which works with our web app here, see below.

    An example of a scoring leaderboard for Tetris on the NES.

    So, what do you think? Comment below, or come check us out on Discord.

  • Retro Achievements Announces Set Destruction Team

    Warning: May Contain Satire

    Covered at the sole discretion of clymax for sake of transparency on Retro Achievements, which was one of the aims of Moderator BahamutVoid in leaving his farewell letter not long after Administrator televandalist’s own resignation letter dropped.

    Because RetroAchievements can’t have enough departments, today we’re introducing another new department, the Set Destruction team!

    This department will help dumb down the difficulty of achievements even more than ever.

    And by forming another department, no member of the team will need to take personal accountability for any decisions made by the department.

    Yes, even if the decisions are total BS.

    This should help us appeal even more to the dirty RetroArch casuals who never visit our website except to register.

    Yes, we’re throwing serious players and legacy devs under the bus, yet again.

    Starting with seventeen devs and thirteen players from the community with all sorts of ideas on how to vandalize sets, this team will work to:

    • Butcher older sets.
    • Make lives even more miserable for active devs by telling them how they must make their sets.
    • Tell active devs how they must make their subsets.

    We look forward to a glorious new era of set destruction, and so should you!
