RetroArchInstall

This automates the installation of the standalone RetroArch into the Steam version. On Steam, they are not allowed to distribute the cores so the functionality is severely limited. This however, will merge the standalone version with Steam. What you get is the functionality of the standalone (The cores) and Steam cloud (Cloud saves).
