I've only tested them on windows so far but they should work on retropie just the same. The only dowsnside is you will have to select them manually in retroarch for each game but you should then be able to create a per game config so it loads the next time automatically (you'll need to change some settings in retropie for per game configs I believe). There are 850 pngs in total and each one has an associated cfg file to enable them to work in retroarch. Below is a link to download them from mega. For this reason, it is recommended that you change /boot/config.txt manually rather than using raspi-config to change overscan settings.I found a complete set of Super Gameboy borders at vgmuseum and have used some batch tools/scripts to create overlays for use with retroarch. Raspi-config enables you to change overscan settings graphically, but upon doing so, silently comments out all settings beginning with overscan_., and leaves them commented even upon re-enabling overscan unless you re-change /boot/config.txt manually. This can sometimes get unset due to a bug in raspi-config. make sure it doesn't look like #overscan_scale=1). Also be sure that the line doesn't start with a # (i.e. If your overscan settings are only affecting the console picture and not EmulationStation's, type sudo nano /boot/config.txt and make sure that the line overscan_scale=1 is there somewhere. If it doesn't work then try messing with some of the other overscan settings manually The console looks good, but the picture is off for EmulationStation/RetroArch/etc!įor EmulationStation to obey the overscan settings, the line overscan_scale=1 must be set in /boot/config.txt. Type sudo nano /boot/config.txt and enable overscan by making sure the following lines are set and uncommented: If your TV doesn't have this setting, you can change this manually by editing /boot/config.txt. (please add more examples if you work it out for your TV!) Settings -> All Settings -> Picture -> Setting for aspect ratio -> Just Scan Menu > Picture > Screen Adjustment > Picture Size > change to "Screen Fit" LG Modern HDTVs will usually have a setting somewhere in the options that displays the entire 1080p image, including the areas that would be ignored as "overscan". All other methods of overscan correction may introduce performance issues and unwanted scaling artefacts. The easiest and best way to fix it is to adjust your TV. My image is cut off!įor this reason, a common scenario is that part of the image is 'cut off'. For this reason, overscan can be an issue. The various applications within RetroPie typically don't account for overscan, and will often include important information across the entire image. This has since become a broadcast standard so there is often garbage and computer signals carried on the border of television broadcasts, so even HDTVs presume these extreme edges should be hidden. In old CRT TVs this was because the edge of the tube would have produced a bad image, so the viewable area was reduced. "Overscan" is the term used to describe the practice of TVs hiding the extreme edges of the picture they receive.
