Accidentally shrunk runcommand splash and retropie setup screens

RPi3b+
Retropie build 4.7.1

I was playing around with a 19" LCD and thought I'd try and make my build fit like a 4:3 format. I went into RetroPie Setup and set the CRT/HDMI to 4:3 no overscan. It looked terrible, so I set it back to 1080p 16:9. All is fine in ES and when the emulators run they look normal meaning fullscreen.

But my runcommand splash screens and the whole Retropie Setup interface is squashed with what looks like a 4:3 format. I looked around and played with whatever I could, but I can't get it back to what it was before, which was the full-screen in 16:9 format.

What the heck did I do? So far, I haven't been able to figure this one out.

Thanks for the help in advance... just when I thought I was done... it pulls me right back in. LOL.

here's a pic of what I'm talking about if it helps. I have tried every menu dealing with display settings and nothing fixes this. The Retropie core is now stuck at 4:3 while Retroarch and Emulationstation are working fine.

I don't recommend playing with the new CRT/HDMI option in the RetroPie-Setup script until this is fixed. Seems it locks the Retropie core into whatever setting you choose and doesn't revert it back like it does everything else.

Got it. I found the issue.

Using that CRT/HDMI video mode switcher added a two line statement to my \boot\config.txt that wasn't there before.

framebuffer_height=1920
framebuffer_width=1080

Not sure why it added this, but as soon as I commented and rebooted, my RetroPie core was back to normal size and not shrunken anymore.

I don't have many statements active in my config.txt so I noticed an extra "list" of other video related stuff at the very bottom. It seemed to have duplicated some of the entries that are in sections above and placed them in the last [all] section of the file. I commented it all out so none of it is active.

framebuffer_height=1920
framebuffer_width=1080
disable_overscan=0
hdmi_force_hotplug=1
enable_tvout=0
hdmi_group=2
hdmi_mode=82
