Crazy idea: Achievements

The projectt RetroAchievements (http://retroachievements.org/) tries to implement achievements for various games. It’s a really cool idea and can be a reason for some people to pick up old games again.

Would it be possible to implement this kind of system to libretro/retro arch by using the retroachievement database? We don’t NEED it but I think it’s an interesting idea. I’m quite positive the guys from RetroAchievment would love to help implementing it.

It has already been discussed and maister and square don’t like the idea so … Also I guess it would need cheats on every core or something similar to be able to read memory values so unless cheats become standarized across the board I think it’s not likely
