      In my quest to make a castlevania splashscreen i noticed that fceumm cuts of the right side of the screen no matter the resolution. In 1920x1080 when i take a screenshot in both fceumm and nestopia both are 1440x1080. I do not have any settings set when looking in the gui and this happens in nes and fds. Im using a pie 3 on retropie 4.0 beta 2.
      Edit: Title says left side, but i meant right. And it actually cuts off both sides. Nestopia fixed this problem.

          @edmaul69 I've noticed this issue a long time ago (since RetroPie 2.6). But it happens only with Castlevania. I thought the problem was in the ROM (never tried in another emulator/core).

              @meleu well thats good to know. I thought i was going to have to give up retroachievements on nes. Btw, i am going to sign up to imgur. Found out yesterday photobucket is degrading my pics i will post them on imgur when i get home and let you know.

                  apparently it might be fixed in lr-nestopia. info here: http://libretro.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1624

                    Never say that!!! LOL.
                    I'm having good times with retroachievements on NES games.
                    Add me there! And don't forget to enable hardcore mode!

                        I need to get back into it, as there are a few achievements I was aiming for, but have slacked off on while playing outside systems like Daphne and ColecoVision. I started off my account not knowing what hardcore mode was, if I switch over now, will all of my achievements so far be erased?

                          No, they aren't be erased. But with RetroArch you have to erase it manually on the site and achieve them again in hardcore mode to get them registered.
                          With the official emulators (Windows only), there is no need to erase. You just need to turn on hardcore mode and achieve again.

                            @meleu @dankcushions it looks like both sides are cut off on all games. in super mario bros on nestopia there are perfect blocks accross the bottom on the title screen. On fceumm they are chopped on both side... :(

                              I don't have a ton of achievements registered, so I might just reset everything. One thing that worries me though is that my most wanted achievements involve beating some very difficult games on one life and while I don't use any save states on the final play-through, I do use them before hand as a teaching tool to learn some of the more complex stage patterns and timing, similar to how speed runners learn parts of a game.

                              Would you happen to know if toggling the hardcore setting will create any sort of conflict in how the achievements are registered on the site? Wouldn't it simply be a matter of me micromanaging my account and deleting anything that wasn't achieved in hardcore mode? I usually test these kinds of things out to see for myself, but I thought I might inquire before i delete everything.

                                Yeah man. I do it as well. But when I want a training session like this, I turn off the retroachievements, not just the hardcore.

                                And don't worry. Nothing will be automatically erased.
