      So, anyone know if it's possible to make the OSD text/messages wrap to the next line? I can change size and location, but not certain if the no wrap is an issue just for me or for all.

        @Necro Just make it smaller. I really don't think it is possible to wrap or scroll it, certainly not as it is currently configured. It might be worth having a hunt around in the retroarch config files. It might be as simple as editing the xml file. I changed the text colour from yellow to green so it's in there somewhere but it was so long ago I can't recall the file path. Sorry.

            @meleu he means that if the line is too long to appear in full on the screen it will print the remainder on the line below rather than just running off the right hand side of the screen.

              Exactly - meant for it to add line breaks or go to the next line if it doesn't go over. I found the font size settings, but without it going to the next line a lot of info is still going offscreen.
