I seem to remember you can limit the pixel clock instead, but I haven't tried it.
Yes, it's possible, though this will disable the 4k video modes completely.
Also, given the performance issues with 4K, wouldn't it be better to have RetroPie be limited to 1080p max out of the box, with an easy way to enable 4K if the user wishes?
This is exactly what the
hdmi_mode
/hdmi_group
settings do - set 1080p video mode by default, with the ability to choose 4k viaruncommand
(though performance will not be great). Kodi/Pixel desktop would still be able to use those modes for 4k HEVC movies/normal desktop.Unfortunately there isn't a way to configure the video so that 'if 4k is available, use 1080p by default', so instead of forcing 1080p by default for all configurations, it's something that the user must configure after installation.
