FBA video streched to 16:9 after update

Evert

Hi all,

I've updated my system to 4.2.13, but all of a sudden all my games in FBA are stretched to fit my 16:9 monitor instead of playing them to what they should actually be in real life. I've never had any issues before the update. 4:3 games would always play as 4:3 with black bars. The resolution has become really grainy as well. (very low res).

All the other emulators are behaving normally.

Any guesses as to what has changed and how I can rectify this?

Should I just force FBA to play all video in 4:3? I've tried doing this via the configuration editor, then going to configure basic libretto option -> additional options for fba and setting aspect ratio to 4:3 and render resolution to video output, but it's still the same.

Details of my setup
Pi Model or other hardware: RP3
Power Supply used: original Pi one
RetroPie Version Used: 4.2.13
Built From: 4.1
USB Devices connected: iPac2
File: all of them
Emulator: FBA

@mediamogul is this the same thing you ran into?

@Evert what exactly did you update? All packages, OS, just FBA?

@pjft

It's possible, but the libretro cores were unaffected on mine.

You know you can configure the video settings to have them at 4:3 instead which you can see in here https://goo.gl/oiWEzb

@pjft I updated all packages and OS.

@Ecks that's exactly what I've tried before, but the video is still stretched when I change the aspect ratio to 4:3

Fixed it. I reset the resolution via the runcommand script for all the roms for FBA and now it's back to normal.

@evert Thanks.

@mediamogul Had you tried this?

I did look to see if the resolution had somehow been changed. However, all the affected emulators were still set to their defaults. I believe my problem is that I always update the OS/Firmware alongside the RetroPie update and the most recent changes are reacting poorly.

Since I really don't want to downgrade anything, I'm just going to wait for the issues to be fixed upstream. In the meantime, the only emulator I can't trick into it's proper aspect ratio is Daphne and I can just adjust my television to squeeze the image to 4x3 when I want to use it.
