Enabling RAIntegration in DuckStation

DuckStation is an open-source emulator that allows users to play retro games on their devices. One of its notable features is its support for RAIntegration, a tool that enables users to interact with RetroAchievements, a platform that rewards players for achieving certain milestones in their favorite games.

To enable RAIntegration in DuckStation, follow these steps:

1. Go to the Advanced Settings menu and toggle the Show Debug Menu option.

2. This will reveal a new submenu called RAIntegration at the top of the menu. Select it and log in to RetroAchievements if prompted.

3. Next, open the settings.ini file located in the User Directory. This directory contains various configuration files for DuckStation.

4. Find the section labeled 'UseRAIntegration' and set its value to true (i.e., 'UseRAIntegration = true').

5. Rename the RA_Integration-圆4.dll file to RA_Integration.dll and move it into the DuckStation binary directory.

Note that RAIntegration support is currently only available for Windows builds of DuckStation, specifically the 圆4 build. Additionally, users should be aware that auto-downloading has been disabled in RAInterface due to security concerns related to MITM attacks.

For developers, RAIntegration provides a useful tool for testing and developing achievement sets. To use it, follow the same steps as above and then go to the settings.ini file to configure your preferences.

Tips and Tricks

* To adjust the image size in DuckStation, hold control and scroll the mouse wheel or press CTRL + or CTRL -.

* If you're having trouble finding the correct directory for your games, try using the Tools -> Open Data Directory option.

* There is no auto-downloading feature for cover images, as DuckStation does not own the legal rights to these images. Instead, users can add their own cover images manually.

By following these steps and tips, you should be able to enable RAIntegration in DuckStation and start enjoying retro gaming with this versatile emulator.
