      Thank you for your quick response.

      Unfortunately this doesn't work; I don't understand why.

      When the Pi boots up and the fan is running at full speed, it displays correctly but once ES is started it is the wrong resolution.

        @Slythief It should work. Can you post the cmdline.txt file? Do the games have the correct resolution?

          The games work but not in 1920x1080, I have to go to a lower resolution so that the image does not overflow the screen.

          cmdline:

          console=serial0,115200 console=tty1 root=PARTUUID=24658be2-02 rootfstype=ext4 fsck.repair=yes rootwait video=HDMI-A-1:1920x1080M@60

            @Slythief At this stage, I assume that an image would be helpful as I think different people are reading a different problem from your statements, including yourself. From your last statement, I am assuming this is actually an overscan issue, that you'd adjust on config.txt, setting overscan to 1 and adding overscan to it (negative or positive, depending on what you're observing).

                  I hope it arrives quickly.

                  I noticed that I was not the only one to have resolution issues but none of the proposed solutions worked.

                  Overscan doesn't work either, no matter the value nothing happens.

                    I think the overscan settings don't work at all in Bookworm right now.

                        @Slythief Can you share a screenshot, though? That would be tremendously helpful. Thanks!

                          a TV screenshot to show what's happening?

                            @Slythief Yes. And a copy of your config.txt file while we're at it :)

                                @Slythief Yes, this is overscan related.

                                set

                                disable_overscan=0

                                and then add

                                overscan_left=32
                                overscan_right=32
                                overscan_top=32
                                overscan_bottom=32

                                and see if anything changes.

                                    @Slythief Got it. Was reading up on it, seems to be an issue with Bookworm indeed. Sorry about that.

                                      Well, is there another solution instead of going with Bookworm?

                                        @Slythief Not on the Pi5, and not that I'm aware of. Unsure if you'd have a better experience installing Ubuntu, but I don't have any experience - nor knowledge - about that to share.

                                          Problem solved:

                                          Add 1080p_audio.bin to usr/lib/firmware.

                                          Add this line to cmdline.txt:

                                          drm.edid_firmware=HDMI-A-1:1080p_audio.bin video=HDMI-A-1:1920x1080M@60D

                                          Now everything works smoothly at 1080p.

                                          1080p_audio.bin:

                                          If you have no sound:

                                          From Emulation Station -> Retropie -> Audio and choose the last option.Reboot.
