    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
