Emulation station going off the screen

Peetem

OK,

ES is going off the right side of the screen. I have been able to rotate the screen per recommendations and that works fine. I am using an Emerson TV on its side as a monitor andI have made these adjustments to various files.

First the cmd.txt:

cmdline.txt:
.....video=HDMI-A-1:1024x768M@60,rotate=90

I also added the x,y, and z parameters after rotate=90 and it didn't make a difference (setting each to 10).

If I adjust the resolution to 768x768, ES is perfectly centered, but the top of games using MAME is cutoff as is the top parts any the [TAB] menu.

If I adjust the 768 x 768 to 1266 x 768 (resolution of the screen), ES goes off the right side. But, when I play MAME games (or N64, NES, etc.), the screen is centered and the games look great. But, ES being off center means I can't read all of the menus (especially the controller config menu).

Second file that has been modified is config.txt:

I added:

overscan_top=16
overscan_bottom=16
overscan_top=16
overscan_bottom=16

display_rotate=1
overscan_scale=1

Anything else I need to try?

What does frame buffer_width and framebuffer_height affect?

Thanks!

Is there any reason you haven't changed it to 768x1024? or 768x1266?
