      Hi guys

      I'm running a pi4 2GB and I've a problem with my retropie build that I cannot change the emulators resolution from the runcommand screen. I have previously been able to like flycast is set to 640x480 and that has stuck. But I run my pi 4 @ 720p and certain emulators are defaulting to 1080p even if I change this from runcommand screen. The settings are going in to videomodes.cfg (opt/retropie/configs/all/videomodes.cfg) and sticking after a reboot but just are not applying. This is for every emulator.

      Any advice would be most appreciated

        I found the issue if anyone else has the same problem. I had saved a core config in each of the emulators which caused it to be set in what ever resolution it was in at the time. Configs are stored in opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/config/all/retroarch/config/(name of emulator). I deleted them and re set them up in 720p.
