Description

When using the N64 plugins, some of the options can be very hard to understand what they actually do. By having some form of description (showing a popup when hovering over the option, having the description under each option, link to a website with detailed documentation in the application, readme txt file with the explanations, or any other way that you may implement a description) it will help less informed users understand the settings better. By extension this could be applied for every other setting in Bizhawk as well for further clarity and user friendliness.
