      Hi I have a 5:4 monitor and wanted to drop down the resolution on the launch option so the game fills the screen, but every time I try it. the games wont launch it just goes to a black screen with the game sound.

        Please add some info about your system, as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.
        Isn't your monitor running at the native resolution (with a 5:4 aspect) ? For what games do you want to change the resolution ?

          on arcade games in its intended resolution there is black bars at top and bottom because its on 1280x1024 when I try drop the resolution lower on launch options the game wont load up for some reason, just the sound and a black screen.

          I can go into option during the game with the 1280x1024 and change the screen to fit but I have to do that for all games it's a bit annoying.
