      Hey all. I have tried changing Screen res in Emulation station / fonts sizes etc but nothing works. Since my Image updated the framework i think, when you load a game the runcommand box is full screen like it's set to vga 640 x 480. Also if you quit emulation station back to the command line. the screen resolution has also changed to vga 640 x 480.

      You can read the text from 10 feet away! Any thoughts on what I need to do to fix this issues
      Thanks

        Please add more details about your system, as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

        EmulationStation doesn't have a screen resolution configuration or the ability to set the font size. What exactly did you change ?

          Since i upgraded my Retorpie Image from 4.4 to 4.5 it happened. I didn't change anything manually.
          The screen resolution is fine until you launch a game then the Runcommand appears in low resolution. after that if you quit emulation station the command line is also in this low res 640 or 320?

          I have been searching for a way to re-install the runcommand or repair it

            Oh I have a Raspberry Pi 3 with a 32GB sd card. 15gb free
            It built on the standard retropie image

              I have just fixed the Fault

              runcommand-onstart and runcommand-onend scripts
              Runcommand can execute an user script before the game launching (runcommand-onstart.sh) and after exiting the emulator (runcommand-onend.sh). Both scripts must be placed at /opt/retropie/configs/all/.

              These were the settings. I changed them to 1024 768
              fbset -g 320 240 320 240 8
              fbset -g 320 240 320 240 32

              Not sure how these are changed, but hey :-)
