+
+### Installation
+The latest retroarch can be installed on ArchLinux simply with the following command:
+```
+pacman -S retroarch
+```
+No need to install any other packages, the online updater (below) can take care of everything.
+
+Launch `retroarch` to generate all your directories and config files. Exit by pressing the Esc key, and make the alterations below.
+
+### Configuration Changes
+Edit `$HOME/.config/retroarch/retroarch.cfg` with your text editor of choice. Below are the values I've altered.
+```
+assets_directory = "~/.config/retroarch/assets"
+libretro_directory = "~/.config/retroarch/cores"
+libretro_info_path = "~/.config/retroarch/cores"
+menu_show_core_updater = "true"
+rgui_browser_directory = "~/media/games"
+savefile_directory = "~/media/games/.saves"
+savestate_directory = "~/media/games/.saves"
+system_directory = "~/media/games/.firmware"
+systemfiles_in_content_dir = "false"
+video_fullscreen = "true"
+```
+Save the file and move on to the next step.
+
+### Assets
+Now assets can be saved to a writeable directory, so start retroarch again and update the following:
+* Retroarch > Online Updater > Update Assets
+* Retroarch > Online Updater > Update Joypad Profiles
+* Retroarch > Online Updater > Update Core Info Files
+
+### Cores
+Lastly, you want to select the cores you want to use, I have the following (usually *best-in-slot*) cores installed:
+* MAME
+* Stella
+* Hatari
+* Beetle PCE
+* Citra
+* melonDS
+* SameBoy
+* mGBA

+* ParaLLEl N64
+* Snes9x
