Big update, reinstalled daphne and problem solved !

Playing with the sourcecode, I usurped the 8:7 PAR to be just 8:7 like 4:3. The switch that controls this is a boolean and I haven't the time to change it right now (and then I would need to make a github account to request a pull for the changes).

@mitu said in N64 emulator doesn't save any settings:

you need to save a game or core override after you've changed the parameters

Can you please tell me where I can find the Overrides-menu? Or which solution would be the best?
When I switch the "Use Global Core Options File" to OFF, then I still the the same problem.

@pojr said in RetroPie stuck in 4:3 (the interface, NOT the games):

@dankcushions
I don't think it would be 81, but you are correct that it's wrong. Shouldn't be 16 because my TV only displays up to 720p, not 1080p. Although it is a 16:9 TV (not 64:27 like it shows under #81). Also, my TV frequency isn't 30Hz, unless I'm missing something.

you've fixed it now so i guess this is irrelevant but yes, you'd need to use hdmi_group=2 for 81 - it doesn't seem to be supported under 1. but yes, @mitu 's suggestion would get show you the complete list of supported modes. given that it's less than 4k, i would always want to be running in the native panel resolution so you don't get scaling artefacts.

i assume now you've taken out hdmi_safe you can safely take out any hard coded modes and it should hopefully choose 1366x768 by default.

@inolen thanks - your post made me realise that I could just put the TV into 4:3 mode, rather than try and make ReDream correct the aspect ratio somehow. Doh! Will try that.

@paulo75 you'd be better asking questions at a specialist Retroarch forum. This forum is for Retropie and the varients of it for Pi and Linux installs really.

Thanks for looking into it!

I'm using the following setup:

Raspberry Pi 3 Model B
RetroPI: 4.5.1
Retroarch: 1.7.6

Done, works great!
Thanks again for supoort @davidgrohl

Great! I’m glad it helps.

@jamietuley said in Rom specific config files for custom aspect ratios:

I have another question I'm afraid.. are game overides the same as game/core remapping?

The game/core input remapping saves only the input related settings. Overrides can save other settings - not just input configuration.

Afair RetroArch added a new aspect ratio, which caused some IDs to change due to the ordering. So you would need to edit existing configs or reconfigure.

@Stuffu

I’m sure there is an option to force the 4.3 ratio.

I think it’s under “display” in GUI, under the sliders to change the screen resolution.

A thousand thank yous! I'm glad I only finished 2 yesterday!

Also - I found where to set the bezel opacity:

~\retropie\configs\arcade\retroarch.cfg

Changed the line

input_overlay_opacity = "0.700000"

to

input_overlay_opacity = "0.400000"

Now I just need to get my spinner working.
