      Ok, so here's the deal and I cannot figure it out. If I shut down, or reboot the Pi (using either the interface, or sudo shutdown/reboot when it come back on, the resolution is HUGE, and then the games have no sound, after I restore from a backup, everything is fine again.

      I have tried multiple SD cards, and power supplies, same thing

      If I let it go and not restore it get to the point that my monitor says "No input"

          Pi Model or other hardware: 3
          Power Supply used: Argon ONE Raspberry Pi Micro USB Cable Power Supply 5.25 Volts 3 Amps
          RetroPie Version Used: 4.1
          Built From: Pre made SD Image on RetroPie website (retropie-buster-4.6-rpi2_rpi3.img)
          USB Devices connected: 2 Zero Delay
          Controller used:
          Error messages received: None
          Log found in /dev/shm/runcommand.log (if relevant):
          File: (File with issue - with FULL path) ??
          Emulator: N/A (all)
          Attachment of config files:

          For more options and information see

          http://rpf.io/configtxt

          Some settings may impact device functionality. See link above for details

          uncomment if you get no picture on HDMI for a default "safe" mode

          #hdmi_safe=1

          display_rotate=1

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

          uncomment to force a console size. By default it will be display's size minus

          overscan.

          #framebuffer_width=1280
          #framebuffer_height=720

          uncomment if hdmi display is not detected and composite is being output

          #hdmi_force_hotplug=1

          uncomment to force a specific HDMI mode (this will force VGA)

          #hdmi_group=1

            Your information is incomplete - how did you install RetroPie ? Version 4.1 is a very old version.

                What resolution is your display and how is it connected ? Have you tried forcing a specific resolution through raspi-config ?

                  can you explain a little about your setup? obviously you've got a rotated display - what changes did you make to achieve this?

                    I just added display_rotate=1 to the config file for my cocktail cabinet

                      Sorry, I didn't see your question, the display is 1280x1024, no I haven't tried forcing it, because I figured that would have nothing to do with the sound

                        So I just forced the resolution, that fixed that, but the game have no sounds

                            Ok, thank you for pointing me in the right direction, I forced the resolution, which fixed that on start up, then it got me thinking., that was only for the system level, so I started poking around the retropie configs, and set the audio to HDMI, and changed the audio driver to SD12 and everything seems to be working now
