About Retro Arch DLC:

IMAGES:
Here are some screenshots showing some of the uses on roms for the systems that Retro Arch currently supports:
Pages of the manual are changed by the user with a key combination of (enter+Q or W) on PC and (Start+L1 or R1) on PS3.
The biggest limitation of the shader is your imagination. As demonstrated in the videos below, it can be used for things such as maps, guides, instruction manuals, cheats, passwords, etc. Additionally, the dimensions, positions and number of pages are completely customizable. For example, the Mortal Kombat 1 example is only 8 pages while the Chrono Trigger one is 136!
VIDEO:
Forgive the quality of the video. My computer is pretty old
More videos can be found in the old thread for SSNES here
Or on my Youtube channel
DOWNLOADS:
Due to restrictions on the PS3 I've created two versions for each download.
The PC versions are better quality and zipped.
The PS3 versions are smaller and in .PKG files
I haven't tested them on any other systems but you're welcome to try
