figured it about time I registered here. thanks for all the great work guys!!
Here is a copy of the latest version of my RA module. It seems to get updated almost every week with new systems and changes that seem to come out so thought it best to keep it here so others may use it as they wish. Hope you guys dont mind, just trying to help out.

;----------------------------------------------------------------------------
; Notes:
; If the emu doesn't load and you get no error, usually this means the LibRetro DLL is not working!
; Devs stated they will never add support for mounted images (like via DT)
; Fullscreen is controlled via the module setting in HLHQ
; This module uses the CLI version of RetroArch (retroarch.exe), not the GUI (retroarch-phoenix.exe).
; The emu may make a mouse cursor appear momentarily during launch, MouseMove and hide_cursor seem to have no effect
; Enable 7z support for archived roms
; Available CLI options: https://github.com/PyroFilmsFX/iOS/blob/master/docs/retroarch.1
;
; LibRetro DLLs:
; LibRetro DLLs come with the emu, but here is another source for them: http://forum.themaister.net/
; Whatever cores you decide to use, make sure they are extracted anywhere in your Emu_Path folder (place them in a LibRetros subfolder if you like). The module will find and load the core you choose for each system.
; You can find supported cores that Retroarch supports simply by downloading them from the "retroarch-phoenix.exe" or by visiting here: https://github.com/libretro/libretro.github.com/wiki/Supported-cores
; Some good discussion on cores and filters: http://forum.themaister.net/viewtopic.php?id=270
; The module's LibRetro settings in HLHQ need to match the name of that core for each system you use this emu. Read the tooltips to see the default one used when they are not customized by you.
;
; SRM files:
; srm are stored in a "srm" dir in the emu folder. Each system ran through retroarch gets its own folder inside srm
;
; Save states:
; Save states are stored in a "save" dir in the emu folder. Each system ran through retroarch gets its own folder inside save
;
; Config files:
; RetroArch will use per-system cfg files named to match your System Name. The global one is "retroarch.cfg" but the module will search for cfg files in any of the emu's subfolders. If system ones exist, they take precedence over retroarch.cfg.
; This allows different settings for each system you use this emulator for. If you want all systems to use the same retroarch.cfg, do not have any system named cfg files, or just create ones for the systems you want custom settings.
;
; System Specific Notes:
; Nintendo Famicom Disk System - Requires disksys.rom be placed in the folder you define as system_directory in the RetroArch's cfg.
; Sega CD - Requires "bios_CD_E.bin", "bios_CD_J.bin", "bios_CD_U.bin" all be placed in the folder you define as system_directory in the RetroArch's cfg.
; Super Nintendo Entertainment System - requires split all 10 dsp# & st### roms all be placed in the folder you define as system_directory in the RetroArch's cfg. Many games, like Super Mario Kart require these.
; NEC TurboGrafx-CD - Requires "syscard3.pce" be placed in the folder you define as system_directory in the RetroArch's cfg.
; Nintendo Super Game Boy - Set the Module setting in HLHQ SuperGameBoy to true to enable a system or only a rom to use SGB mode. This is not needed if your systemName is set to the official name of "Nintendo Super Game Boy". Requires "sgb.boot.rom" and "Super Game Boy (World).sfc" to be placed in the folder you define as system_directory in the RetroArch's cfg. This is needed if you want to use Super game boy mode and color palettes. Also requires using the latest bsnes core. Not all games support SGB mode.
