Start by reproducing the issue in RetroArch on Switch using the reported steps: open RetroArch, load a .chd file, and check whether achievements load. Inspect the attached retroarch.log and gather the missing RetroArch version, commit, and environment details. Done means identifying and fixing the cause so achievements load for the .chd case.
