      I got newest Retropie with playstation theme on CRT via pi2scart.
      I changed size font (bigger font) in /etc/emulationstation/theme/playstation/theme.xml
      but, curson to select game from gamelist can be on out of screen. How can I fix it?

      alt text

      my /etc/emulationstation/theme/playstation/theme.xml:

      <!--
      theme name:     PlayStation
      version         1.0
      -->
      
      <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

        Could be an EmulationStation bug, I know a gamelist sizing issue was fixed in the dev branch. Can you install the emulationstation-dev package and see if you still see the problem ?
