      Try adding the info in my config.txt to yours

      # uncomment this if your display has a black border of unused pixels visible
      #  and your display can output without overscan
      # disable_overscan=1
      
      # uncomment the following to adjust overscan. Use positive numbers if console
      # goes off screen, and negative if there is too much border
      overscan_left=10
      overscan_right=10
      overscan_top=-8
      overscan_bottom=-4
      
      # uncomment for composite PAL
      sdtv_mode=0
      sdtv_aspect=1
      overscan_scale=1
      

      Adding the overscan_scale=1 solved all my problems though..and the overscan numbers may differ for your setup.

        @akafox you can place text in code blocks so it appears like this

        #hash tags
        display properly
        and markdown is
        ignored
        

        Just put three backticks ` above and below the text you want to use.

          @jonnykesh THANK YOU VERY MUCH! :D

          I knew there had to be a way to do that just didn't know how.
          (is there a cheat sheet for those formatting tags anywhere?)

            This is great but emulation station still seems to overscan.

                            check these settings as well or add them
                            sdtv_mode=0
                            sdtv_aspect=1

                            and
                            #overscan_scale=0
                            should be overscan_scale=1

                            after that try
                            overscan_left=10
                            overscan_right=10
                            overscan_top=-8
                            overscan_bottom=-4
