Configurable RetroAchievements Stats in Top Navigation
📋 Summary
Allow users to choose which RetroAchievements stat is displayed in the LaunchBox top navigation bar, instead of limiting it to Hardcore Score only.
🎯 Feature Overview
RetroAchievements provides multiple stats beyond just Hardcore Score. This request proposes a configurable dropdown in settings where users can select one of the following (or potentially cycle between them):
Hardcore Score
Softcore Score
Retro Points
Games Beaten
RetroAchievements Site Rank
Number of Achievements Unlocked
Users would then see their preferred stat in the top nav bar, keeping the information relevant to their playstyle and goals.
📦 Benefits
Greater personalization of RetroAchievements integration.
Supports both casual and hardcore players.
Makes LaunchBox/Big Box more flexible for tracking the stat that matters most.
Encourages engagement with RetroAchievements by surfacing more than just Hardcore Score.
💡 Notes
Future expansion could include the option to rotate between multiple stats or show more than one at a time, depending on space in the UI.

PinnedHi there,
With today’s release of LaunchBox for Windows 13.27, this feature has now been implemented. LaunchBox now supports configurable RetroAchievements stats, so you are no longer limited to showing only hardcore points. To choose what appears, right-click the RetroAchievements stat in the top menu bar and select the stat you want LaunchBox to display.
You can update to the latest version from within the app to receive this.

Allow for RetroAchievement Score to be switched to Softcore
Currently - Retroachievement score shown is limited to hardcore mode only. Allow for the ability to either show all scores, or switch between hardcore and softcore

This is really something I’m missing there.
