      @kingcosmuder Try to play with the overscan (scale) options - see https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Overscan/.

          @kingcosmuder Can you exit EmulationStation and run tvservice -s on the command line ? It should show you the current video resolution and the other video modes supported by your TV/Monitor.

              You can use SSH and connect remotely, from another system/PC in the same network.

                  Looks fine - the Pi is outputting at 1080p. Are you sure your TV is in game mode ? What TV model is it ?

                  You can enable more logging for the game running, just to check that the game runs at 60fps, as explained here. The log file can be retrieved via SSH (using WinSCP), if you manage to get it, post it on pastebin.com and provide the link.

                      That's not the entire file. I was mainly interested in the video resolution chosen by the emulator.
