Fill Screen (4:3) SNES?

@dankcushions
It is on all SNES games,

I took a picture of my screen and highlighted what is wrong.

On thing it says about overscan is

If you're getting a black screen when running in Console mode with
Composite output, try removing/commenting out the "overscan_" parameters from "/boot/config.txt" as follows (using disable_overscan doesn't appear to fix it):

    #overscan_left=16
    #overscan_right=16
    #overscan_top=16
#overscan_bottom=16

I am using HDMI.

interestingly street fighter 2 on the snes SHOULD have borders (even more so on the pal version). see:

that said, should still be less than what you're seeing. have a look at the snes9x.cfg

DO NOT change these settings if other emulators are working fine. these are global settings for your entire system, applied from the moment it boots.

@dankcushions Oops. Yeah, I just realized that---the overscan described in that readme I linked refers to that of the whole Pi configuration.

Maybe we can start again?

All SNES games have borders at the top and bottom of the screen.

I would like to know how to remove them.

OK, some games may have borders.

BUT I know a lot don't. I remember this from when I was 13 and got a SNES for my birthday 25 years ago.

and I already clarified this. again, look at the snes9x.cfg that has been mentioned several times. it may have border/stretching options
you can adjust.

@TheDutyPaid For comparison, what emulator are you running NES vs. SNES? The reason I ask is, if you are already using a libretro core for NES, using lr-snes9x-next would seem like a logical thing to try, as they would have similar configurations.

@dankcushions
I know the snes9x.cfg very well as I had to set up my PS3 controller.
Here is the part about Graphics, what do you think is best to adjust.

[Graphics]
DisplaySmoothStretch=1
# Display Effect: 0 none, 1 scanlines, 2 phospher
# NOTE Phospher does not run at full speed
DisplayEffect=0
MaintainAspectRatio=1
DisplayBorder=0
AutoFrameskip=1
Frameskip=200
Transparency=1
CPUCycles=100

DisplaySmoothStretch=1

change to 0 i think. that should stop it integer scaling and fill the vertical.
