      I am trying to change the video message location on my screen.

      I have gone into. /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg

      I find the following info.

      Offset for where messages will be placed on screen. Values are in range 0.0 to 1.0 for both x and y values.

      [0.0, 0.0] maps to the lower left corner of the screen.

      video_message_pos_x = 0.05

      video_message_pos_y = 0.05

      I am fine with the vertical position. I am trying to push the horizontal position so text starts further to the right. Whenever I change # video_message_pos_x = it seems to make no difference after restart. I've tried

      video_message_pos_x = 0.5

      video_message_pos_x = 0.75

      video_message_pos_x = 0.9

      Even

      video_message_pos_x = 1.0

      video_message_pos_x = 10.0

      BTW, the font size command change works great. I am trying to push text over to the right so it starts after the console border overlays I am using.

        Figured it out. If I change it through the in-game RetroArch menu, it takes hold.
