      I have a Raspberry Pi 4 B (2GB, though RAM shouldn't affect this) and I have been looking for a solution to a problem with the Menu. The menu doesn't seem to fit in the 4:3 aspect ratio, neither does the terminal screen. I tried scaling the resolution down to 640x480 with the

      sdtv_mode=x
      

      X being the other NTSC variables I can use
      I also used this code (one didn't work, so I used the other, not knowing exactly what they mean):

      sudo tvservice -c "NTSC 4:3 P" ; fbset -depth 8 ; fbset -depth 32; tvservice -s
      
      tvservice -c "NTSC 4:3" ; fbset -depth 8 ; fbset -depth 32; tvservice -s
      

      and I also tried changing the framebuffer for the console and using different 4:3 aspect ratios. All of the games, as far as I know, work fine on the TV, it's just the menu and the terminal.

      Is there an updated guide to getting a CRT to work over composite on a Raspberry Pi 4? Maybe there's something I have been overlooking in my searches.

        EDIT: I have looked into it more, and realized that it was because overscan was disabled. I neglected to remember this for some reason, but I have fixed it.
