How do I change the resolution output? I have edited the frame buffer but seems to have no effect

Code: Select all
Framebuffer_width=
Framebuffer_height=
Sets the resolution of the screen.
I guess what you are looking for is overscan (to get the picture smaller/bigger towards the edge of the display)
Code: Select all
overscan_left=
overscan_right=
overscan_top=
overscan_bottom=
Also be sure that you put it in

In /boot/config.txt you can modify this line to change the console resolution:
#framebuffer_width=320
#framebuffer_height=240
Just remove the hashtags and set the resolution to what the screen outputs (most are 320*240)
To get larger text on the emulation station themes you have to modify the themes XML use this code (for carbon theme):
sudo nano /etc/emulationstation/themes/carbon/carbon.xml
Then change all lines for font size to <fontsize>0.05</fontsize>

Was it the framebuffer or editing the theme XML or both that did the trick?
