Retropie Install Screen Size

Not sure if this is the proper location for the question, so I apologize in advance.
I've installed Retropie, but the screen is larger that the standard gameboy size (obviously) and I'm not familiar enough with the Retropie menu to find the location to adjust this. I can't the gameboy frame out (pretty stuck in there) so I'm hoping someone can direct me to the spot to make this change.
Open to a guide on wifi, roms (I have my own), etc... but I'll start with this basic request.

a picture might help to illustrate your issue better, but what i'm reading from that is that you're looking to adjust the overscan on your display, so that the image fits the window of the shell, instead of stretching the whole screen...

you can do that in the config.txt file, which you can edit directly on the sdcard, if you're unfamiliar with how to get into that. it usually takes some trial and error to get it right, but the lines you want to add/change are these (the four in the middle, particularly):

Code: Select all

disable_overscan=0
overscan_scale=1

overscan_left=10
overscan_right=10
overscan_top=10
overscan_bottom=10

framebuffer_width=320
framebuffer_height=240
