    What @Ashpool suggested seems to have worked for me. In case anyone is interested, here's what I did...

    First, with the RP up and running and the TV screen displaying correctly, I queried for the HDMI mode used:

    $ tvservice -s state 0xa [HDMI CEA (16) RGB lim 16:9], 1920x1080 @ 60.00Hz, progressive

    From this and the RetroPie documentation on HDMI Mode I learned that in /boot/config.txt I had to set

    hdmi_group=1

    (for CEA) and

    hdmi_mode=16

    (for 1080p at 60Hz and 16:9). I also had to add

    hdmi_force_hotplug=1

    After rebooting the RP, the issue was resolved.

    Thanks again, @Ashpool!

    @linuxxp said in Strange colors on NES:

    The problem persist on both emulators and only with NES games. I don't use shaders.

    Are you sure you don't use shaders ? The image you posted looks like it has a smoothing shader applied. Which game is it ?

    EDIT: have you changed the palette options for the NES system ? I know Nestopia has the ability to change it from the core options.

    @sleve_mcdichael said in Escaping commands in script modules:

    Is this right, though?

    It is, because the filename globbing for * doesn't happen inside the quoted string:

    $ ls "~/roms/nes/*" ls: cannot access 'roms/nes/*': No such file or directory # tries to list a file named '*' $ ls "~/roms/nes/"* roms/nes/240pee.nes roms/nes/game1.zip ... # filename expansion happens normally

    Oh... unsupportable... I get what you mean now! (smacks head with hand)

    Yes.. I've reached that point that I'm comfortable with the file structure after screwing it up many times... and begging for help. LOL.

    So yes, I agree.. that part should be optional.

    I tried a bit more stuff. Last thing I did was uninstall xpad and install xone. The adapter seems to be connected as a USB device for a moment, but then disconnected again. See log output here: https://pastebin.com/dgWF9gT5
    Any ideas, advice?

    /edit: I don't know why, but with xboxdrv installed (xpad uninstalled) and input mode set to dinput (not xinput) it's working now...

    Are these arbitrary values, or there's only certain ones that will work? Is it based on what modes my TV can display?

    Only values supported by your display will have an effect.

    runcommand will query the available modes and set the values depending on what you choose in the menu.

    @dankcushions Switching the resolution to Mode 16 (1080p 60fps) in RetroPie seems to have resolved the remaining issue. The game takes up much more of the screen and now looks visibly correct while paired with using "Core Provided" for Aspect Ratio in RetroArch.

    Thanks for your help, all! I'm still curious why my display settings got all changed around after upgrading to RetroPie 4.7.20, but I'll leave that to people smarter than me to figure out. :)

    Happy classic gaming, everyone! ^_^

    The doc page on GBA has some info about each emulator for the system. To install a new package use the RetroPie-Setup menu entry - see https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Updating-RetroPie/#manage-packages.

    How to get a verbose log (though not sure if needed at this point, since the games are running) - see this page.

    As the name implies it's basically CHDs (Compressed Hunks of Data) are typically any type of "rotating media" of the day, like a CD/DVD/Laser Disc/Hard Disk. Basically an image that is used along with the ROMs. I think the MAME core folks developed the CHD format.

    They are just games that have more detailed graphics, more audio, better processing, better whatever...streaming graphics, streaming audio, etc. requiring more space than a ROM chip can hold. I think Killer Instinct used FMVs (one of the 1st?) and Carnevil streams a good amount of the game as it was digitized footage. I imagine it's more about a particular games "demands/requirements" and less about it being CHD based. I don't think the overhead of accessing the image alone is making it "unplayable".

    @mitu I tried all the commands listed and nothing seems to change the look other than removing the -f, adding in the -4 and choosing CEA-4 as the video mode. The --scale2x did what it usually does, gives that rounded look. --scale=n (interger scaling) did nothing, and niether did -NTSC, -PAL

    So this is the end result. It looks odd with all the color and no black borders on the sides, but it runs great and has the 4:3 size ratio.

    I don't know what else to do with this, seems odd that it does this. I can live with it if there is no other choice.

    @StewDapples - That's great. Hopefully you only have to do it once and make backups! :)

    It is a bit finicky, even though you have to manually build the sample sets they can still be scanned through ClrMamePro. I find it useful if something changes in a set, you'll at least be aware of it. It will remove extraneous samples but it won't rename or add.

    In regards to CHD's just make sure you have the right version selected in ClrMamePro when verifying.

    You can't really post any links here but the 2010 samples are out there just poking around a bit.

    Also the Super Famicom Box BIOS (sfcbox) should be available too.

    I think in regards to mame2003-plus samples you could inquire on the official page. They aren't official samples but ones that have been added to enhance the gaming experience. They are exclusive to mame2003-plus.

    Basically there are are only a handful of games that have the enhanced audio due to it being a fairly laborious process. If the core can't find the OSTs it will fall back to the original audio. They aren't required but it's nice to have a complete set. I believe they have been added to the DAT. Just to verify the lists are below.

    mame2003-plus (ddragon) samples:

    <sample name="title-01"/> <sample name="title-02"/> <sample name="stage1-01"/> <sample name="stage1-02"/> <sample name="stage2-01"/> <sample name="stage2-02"/> <sample name="stage3-01"/> <sample name="stage3-02"/> <sample name="stage3-alt-01"/> <sample name="stage3-alt-02"/> <sample name="stage4-01"/> <sample name="stage4-02"/> <sample name="credits-01"/> <sample name="credits-02"/> <sample name="diddy-01"/> <sample name="diddy-02"/> <sample name="complete-01"/> <sample name="complete-02"/> <sample name="boss-01"/> <sample name="boss-02"/> <sample name="boss-alt-01"/> <sample name="boss-alt-02"/> <sample name="finalboss-01"/> <sample name="finalboss-02"/>
