        @dankcushions Ok, I'll figure out a way to do that after the Pi is done updating.

                @galaga if that's updated you to raspbian stretch, it's game over.

                  @galaga please use proper markup as per https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first - we can't read that properly

                        @Galaga Help! What a mess!
                        @dankcushions Sorry for getting into this thread :(

                        Disable all HDMI things at first!
                        A working config might be....

                        # uncomment this if your display has a black border of unused pixels visible
                        # and your display can output without overscan

                            Well I would rather use Composite as using a HDMI --> VGA converter.

                                Ok I've tried a couple different things and I've run out of ideas. I know it's probably some stupid little thing I'm missing, but I have no clue why RetroPie is ignoring config.txt even with overscan_scale=1. Is it a glitch?
