Tico now includes a dedicated RetroAchievements screen where you can view your profile, check completion rates, and see everything you've unlocked across supported games — all in one place.

Every achievement, fully detailed

Open any game and you'll find a complete achievement list: what you've earned, what's left, and exactly what each one requires. No need to tab out to the website.

Instant in-game feedback

The moment you unlock an achievement, Tico lets you know. An overlay notification pops up mid-session with sound feedback — the way it should feel.

How to set it up

Go to Settings → Accounts and add your RetroAchievements credentials:

  • Username and password

    — used by cores to unlock achievements

  • Web API Key

    — used to load your profile and progress

You can grab your API key at retroachievements.org/settings under Authentication. Everything is stored locally on your device.

One thing to keep in mind: RetroAchievements requires verified ROMs. Your files need to match hashes from the official database — you can look up supported hashes for any game directly on RetroAchievements.
