Emulation Station Cut Off

Peetem

I added the overscan_bottom=16 line to the E.S. config.txt in the first pic. However, it still cuts off the right side (bottom since its rotated to the right side) is not centered.

So I changed to overscan_bottom=32 and it did indeed, add more space to the right side, but it still cuts off the same amount (see second pic).

Any other suggestions? Thanks!

@peetem Try getting a vertical theme and see what happens. There's an Arcade1Up vertical style theme around here somewhere. I think the RetroHursty69/es-theme-vertical_arcade theme is available in the installable themes.

I changed the theme as suggested and here is the result:

It was a good idea, but it didn't work.

Are there any ways to configure the size of image of ES?

This looks like you've started ES rotated, but didn't specify the size and it still thinks it's running with landscape oriented resolution. How are you starting EmulationStation - what's the command ?

Its starting automatically during the boot.

What file do I need to edit to change the layout?

In your previous post you stated that you rotated also EmulationStation, but I guess you didn't add any parameters to start it rotated.
EmulationStation supports the --screenrotate parameter for rotation (1/2/3). In addition, it also supports the --screensize X Y and --resolution X Y parameters to tell it the resolution and size of the display. You can modify the default autostart script to add these parameters to EmulationStation.

Yes, I'm sorry -

It currently has "emulationstation --screenrotate 1"

Sorry, I wasn't aware I could set the screen size too.

Perfect! Thank you!

My regular resolution is 1366 x 768, so I'm reversing those:

--Screensize 768 1366

Peetem

So I got it!

Thanks to all!

@Peetem Can you share a snip of the files you edited and changes you made? I'm running into this same issue on a Frogger Arcade1Up cabinet I'm working on.
