How to shrink 3.5 inch screen to original gameboy size? Config.txt?? Help needed

[Safari9982]

So I don’t want to cut my gameboy Case... is there any way to resize console on the 3.5 inch screen so it’s the same size as the original gameboy? If so can you show me how it’s done? I’m assuming you have to mess with the overscan and framebuffer which to me those numbers make zero sense haha.

Also I’m not interested in buying another screen. At least not right now. And plus I want to see if this can be done anyway.

in the config.txt there are some lines like this:

#disable_overscan=1

overscan_left=-20
overscan_right=-20
overscan_top=-20
overscan_bottom=-20

You can play around with those numbers to get the screen to fit right. You will need to un-comment the first line, and then adjust the numbers, and reboot to see any changes. I can't tell you exactly what value to use, just play around until you get it to fit right.

You can also set the overscan settings on the fly with this: https://github.com/ukscone/set_overscan

That seems handy to be able to do it on the fly. I might have to try that.
