📋 Summary
Add support in LaunchBox for RetroAchievements multi-sets, allowing a single ROM to display and track the base achievement set and any available subsets without requiring separate game entries.
❗ Problem
RetroAchievements recently introduced multi-set support, which allows players to earn subset achievements without patched ROMs.
🔗 https://retroachievements.org/forums/topic/34021
Currently in LaunchBox:
Only the achievement set tied to the ROM hash (base set) is shown
Subsets must be tracked as separate game entries to get their own achievement badge
This leads to duplicate games and fragmented achievement tracking
Subsets are not visible in key areas such as the game details pane or pause menus
This workflow no longer aligns with how RetroAchievements now functions.
💡 Proposal
Enhance RetroAchievements integration to support multi-sets:
Detect all available achievement sets (base and subsets) for a single ROM
Display all sets within the Game Details view
Allow users to view progress per set without duplicating the game
Possibly introduce different badges to indicate the presence of multiple sets
Surface multi-set achievements consistently across:
Game details
Pause menus
Achievement views and stats
📦 Benefits
Eliminates duplicate game entries for subsets
Aligns LaunchBox with current RetroAchievements functionality
Provides a clearer and more complete achievement overview
Improves usability for challenge and specialty achievement sets
💡 Notes
Base set behavior should remain unchanged
Subset visibility could be toggleable per game or globally
This builds on existing RetroAchievements integration
