RAWeb VS Achievement-Watcher

Earlier today, an announcement was posted on Discord regarding a site update that happened yesterday, which disabled certain site features and caused delays in obtaining badges. The full text, as posted by WCopeland, is below:

Ok, some of you should look into retroachievements.

I don't know if it's the same thing, but there's this although it's not active anymore

Since you've replaced the original steam_api64.dll with a steam emulator, you'd have to add it as a Non-Steam game. Then it'd show a play button, but I don't think game tracking and achievements will work unless you add achievement watcher to your list of installed apps.

Ok, I’ve been trying to make achievement watcher work for God of War but I’m fairly new to this. First of all I downloaded the game from RARGB and managed to play it successfully, then I downloaded AW but it was not showing the game so I followed the steps in this post but still wasn’t showing. Then I downloaded Goldberg Emu and followed the steps on this video and then the steps of this post, and I managed to get the game to show up in AW, however I noticed that the achievements weren’t unlocking so I followed the AW Wiki on the Goldberg section and I noticed that the folder steam_settings was not on my installation folder, a quick read through Goldberg’s read me I found that if the folder was not there then you had to create it yourself, so I did that, however achievements are still not unlocking.

Apparently the answer is kinda - https://github.com/xan105/Achievement-Watcher/wiki/Compatibility

Achievement Watcher

I use Achievement Watcher, which works pretty well, but is sometimes difficult to set up depending on where you downloaded your games. For the most part, it does auto-detect games that you have installed, but not always.
