Achievements & Music

Two optional integrations provide major parts of the complete Aniki experience:

• PlayniteAchievements for achievement data;
• UniPlaySong for music.

Install only the feature you want.

Quick setup — Achievements

1. Install PlayniteAchievements from F9 → Browse → Generic if it is not already installed.
2. Configure PlayniteAchievements in its own settings and let it obtain achievement data for your games.
3. Switch to Aniki Fullscreen and open Start / Menu → Achievements.
4. If you want to change Aniki's presentation, open Settings → Customization → Achievements.

If achievement data is already visible, the integration is working. Cache rebuild and per-game refresh actions below are repair tools, not required first-time steps.

2. Press F9.
3. Open Browse → Generic.

6. Save and restart if requested.
7. Configure PlayniteAchievements using its own settings.
