      It would be a very nice feature to show a popup every time we earn an achievement when we have Retro Achievements enabled.

        No, it is not good idea, popup open when you play .... a message appears on the screen when a retroachievement is won. if you see list Quick Menu > Achievements list

          I didn't see any message when I've tested the functionality, is it enabled by default?

            to activate retroachivement, you need an accound in retroachievement website. Go to Emulationsation Menu (start button), > games options > retroachievements > ON and put username and PASSWORD. https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/wiki/Configuration-Retroachievements-(FR) Your game must be compatible with retroachievements and you must use the good emulator. Compatibility game Liste : http://retroachievements.org/gameList.php and yes, message appears in game when you win a trophy, it's enable by default

              I can confirm this. It shows as yellow text across the bottom - exactly the same as when retroarch identifies your controller when you first launch a game. It usually pops up within 5 seconds of doing whatever is needed to earn the achievement. If you retro achievement configuration/login/password are correct you will know it is active whenever you launch an emulator that does support achievements with a game that does NOT support achievements. You will see the yellow text appear at the bottom about your controller and then the message "This game doesn't support achievements".     Eric
