overscan_ NOT WORK AFTER UPDATE! 4.5 in EmulationStation.

mitu

@SergioPoverony Can you post your /boot/config.txt with the overscan settings ?

You have both disable_overscan=1 and overscan_... settings together. Can you try commenting the former and reboot after modifying the file ? Add a # on the line with disable_overscan so it reads:

#disable_overscan=1

and see if it makes a difference.

SergioPoverony

@mitu

ok. thank you. Whay this work fine in old version?

mitu

@SergioPoverony I don't really understand your latest reply.

SergioPoverony

@mitu

Why does my config work well in the previous version? I do not understand too.

mitu

@SergioPoverony Is it working now after you modified it ? It's probably a change in the kernel/firmware for the Raspberry PI.

EDIT:this might be the cause of the default overscan behavior change.

SergioPoverony

@mitu
Thank you

SergioPoverony

@mitu
i do as you tell
#disable_overscan=1
and overscan_left right and etc work only in boot or retropi-setup... in EmulationStation him not work

in EmulationStation him not work

Thats should be handled by overscan_scale=1 - do you still have that line in your config.txt file ?

I make downgrade. Me need update again. After him i check all again.

@SergioPoverony I've noticed the same issue. After upgrading to 4.5 overscan settings apply differently to ES and console (including splashscreen).
disable_overscan is commented and overscan_scale is set to 1.

mitu

@saccublenda I'd love so get more info about your setup - are you also using a LCD screen or just a TV (HDMI) ? Does removing overscan_scale makes a difference ?

saccublenda

@mitu TV with HDMI.
With overscan_scale=1 ES fits the screen correctly, but console has black borders.
Without overscan_scale=1 console fits the screen correctly, but ES goes off screen.

Can you run fbset to see what's the screen size of the console and compare it to the TV's resolution ?
You can try adding disable_overscan=1 to remove any overscan borders altogether.

Overscan work only console/terminal mode and not work in EmulationStation

With disable_overscan=1 I get from fbset

mode "1920x1080"
    geometry 1920 1080 1920 1080 32
    timings 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
    rgba 8/16,8/8,8/0,8/24
endmode

With this configuration the console fits the screen and ES goes off screen.

With #disable_overscan=1 and

overscan_left=10
overscan_right=10
overscan_top=10
overscan_bottom=10

I get from fbset

mode "1804x964"
    geometry 1804 964 1804 964 32
    timings 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
    rgba 8/16,8/8,8/0,8/24
endmode

With this configuration both console and ES have black borders, but the console has significantly larger borders than ES.

I tell NOT WORK tested Pi3A+ and Zero W

Any edit work ONLY TERMINAL/CONSOLE and not work in ES

matchaman

I can confirm this, the exact same settings on 4.4 vs 4.5.

mitu

@matchaman Are you also using a TV through HDMI ? Do you have explicit overscan_left/right/etc. settings in the config file.

For the ones using a TV, can you try commenting/removing any overscan settings and leave just

disable_overscan=1

If this will behave like in @saccublenda's case, the console output would fill the screen, but Emulationstation would be off. Try using the TV settings and put the HDMI connecting into Game mode (or PC mode, I know my TV has a PC label for the HDMI connection which changes the output settings) or set it to stretch the image (fit-to-screen ?).

EDIT: I assume you already have overscan_scale=1 in your config (which worked before 4.5).
