      I'm trying to make an arcade machine using retropie, but when I connect the retropie with the CRT monitor this happens:
      0_1510713933299_fliperama.jpg
      Could anyone tell me if I can change the x position in retroarch.cfg?

      Thanks,

        @leandrosdias You should access the RetroArch GUI menu using Hotkey+X (usually Select+X) and then go to the Video settings and change the X/Y positions.

          I'm not really sure you're taking about the right thing. That screen looks like EmulationStation running the retrorama theme, is that correct? If that's the case, it has nothing to do with RetroArch.

          You may need to adjust your video options in /boot/config.txt in hopes of addressing that somehow.

            @pjft You're right, it's the whole image that's offset.
            @leandrosdias You should play with the overscan settings in the boot configuration file - similar to the advice in https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=184748 - if you're using the HDMI output.

              @mitu I think the issue is that the theme is 1080p. It's just not designed for CRT displays.

                I understood, I'll try to change the config.txt.

                Tranks,

                  @leandrosdias You should also look into @pjft 's advice, maybe it's just the theme that's broken because of the resolution or aspect ratio of the screen.
