      Sorry if this has been addressed, and also I'm a very green user, but suddenly all my games are launching too large for my TV screen. The boot-up screen fits, then EmulationStation and Retropie also fit the screen perfectly, but as soon as any game launches only about 1/4 of it fits on screen (literally the top left quarter of the game screen). Adjusting the resolution in the menu before each game starts doesn't fix it, adjusting screen settings in retro-config does nothing, and no TV menu fixes it either. It used to work fine on this TV, but suddenly when games launch they seem to think it is a much larger screen. I have also used the system on a much larger Samsung TV without problem, but I never changed any native video settings. Using a Raspberry Pi 4, HDMI connection to a 19" Sony Bravia circa 2010. Like I said, I'm pretty new to Retropie so if it's a basic problem that everyone has had to deal with then I apologize for bringing it up again.
