This extension expects you have signed up for a RetroAchievements account as you'll need to provide your username and personal Web API key. This is because RA's API is designed around per-user keys and there's rate limiting in place. Read more about RA's API access.
Your key is safely stored. Your key is never sent anywhere except to RetroAchievements.
- After installing via the steps above, open Vimm's Lair.
- A new button is injected to the sidebar and clicking it opens a settings dialog for the extension.
- Follow the instructions on screen - provide your RA username and personal Web API key.
As you type, the extension saves automatically. - Close the dialog and refresh.
- Opening a game page should now show whether that specific variant is supported by RA.
Issues and pull requests are welcome. If you run into a game that reports incorrectly or a system that isn't working as expected, please open an issue with the game page URL and platform.
