      Hi,

      I've got a One Up Pi-Boy XL that uses a Pi 3b+ think it's running Recalbox. I've flashed several images into it but the text in the menus are tiny so tiny in fact I have to plug it into a monitor via hdmi to access the settings which isn't ideal.

      What I'm looking for if such an image exists is one where I can access the menus on the rather than having to plug it into a monitor to access and if necessary change the settings.

      Can anyone recommend me a image for the Pi-Boy XL?

      Thank you in advance.

        @phil8715 this forum is about people who use the offical retropie image only.
        We dont handle, support or recommend any 3rd party-image.
        Why dont you try the stock image available here and build your own thing?

            @phil8715 Then I'm afraid we can't help. If you want to download our image we will help in adjusting font sizes etc.

              @BuZz I could put the official RetroPie image on that’s not a problem. The issue is how do change the fonts without hooking it up to a monitor to read the menu?

                Try a theme made for a small screen.

                    If he installs a fresh official image (as he mentions), he won't be.

                      I've sorted it. I ran an update and menu appeared that wasn't there before, I went into change console fonts and selected large. And it's clear and readable.
