      I bought an elecrow 5 inch screen a few months ago for portable retropie. It worked great and I followed a guide and changed some scripts in order to get the display working on the 5 inch screen. Now I would like to switch from the screen to my tv but can't get perfect resolution. If Immediately switch while the pi is still powered on, the TV is zoomed in and bad quality. If I turn it all off and then plug it into the tv, the boot text and splashscreens is the correct resolution like, but when retropie actually boots, I'm left with in the bottom left corner"LAUNCH SCREENSAVER [] MENU [] RANDOM [] SELECT [] CHOOSE" any help would be appreciated
      I have a Raspberry Pi 2b that is a dedicated retropie system
