Emulation Station not centered and going off the screen

Peetem

So I solved the problem of all the games being upside down (see previous post), but I have a new one that's weird.

Emulation Station is not centered - it starts about 5" from the left side of the screen and then goes off the right side of the screen.

I have overscan_scale=1 set in /boot/config.txt using a Raspberry Pi 4 and running RetroPie 4.7.1.

Any ideas what else I can try?

Adjust the screen overscan ?

Yes, I adjusted the overscan. So now its centered, but still goes off the right side of the screen.

My screen resolution is set to the TV in the cmdline.txt file:

video=HDMI-A-1:1024x768M@60,rotate=90

Perhaps that's the problem and I should reduce the "height" (which is now the width as the screen is rotated)?

You can add some space (similar to the overscan options in config.txt) to the video screen with the margin_xyz option:

video=HDMI-A-1:1024x768M@60,rotate=90,margin_left=10,margin_top=10,margin_right=10,margin_bottom=10

Thanks.

So I added these parameters and to no avail. Any other suggestions?

I would add that in the /boot/cmdline.txt parameters, I changed the resolution to 768x768 and everything is now centered and looks correct....except, the top few lines of the [TAB] menu in Mame are cut off....

This is so strange.....
