Overscan not effecting Emulation Station(retropie)

Post by jothie » Mon Jun 11, 2018 7:40 am

The bottom of my screen in cut off because of the glass cover and I've tried to fix this using overscan. The overscan seems to be working on boot-up. Its clear in the splashscreen image but once Emulation Station starts in in fullscreen again(with the buttom and part of the right cut off.) Not sure why, any ideas?

This is part of the config.txt I've edited.

dtoverlay=dpi18
overscan_left=2
overscan_right=10
overscan_top=2
overscan_bottom=15
enable_dpi_lcd=1
display_default_lcd=1
dpi_group=2
dpi_mode=87

Try putting overscan_scale=1 in config.txt. I remember that fixing things for me.
