      @jimmyfromthebay Could still be the cable, especially since you'd moved and/or unplugged the Pi for each card change.

        @clyde Yep, it was the cable. New one arrived, hooked it up, everything works a treat including getting rid of the borders. Weird, would never have thought a cable would cause that problem, I always figured it would either work or not.

        Raspberry Pi 3b and 8GB Raspberry Pi 4, both running Retropie 4.7.1 installed from scratch using Raspberry Pi Imager, with wired keyboard, wireless mouse and double arcade joystick attached.

          @jimmyfromthebay If you're into computers as long as I (starting with a Commodore 64 in the mid eighties), cables are among the first ususal suspects for any kind of strange effects. πŸ‘ΎπŸ‘»πŸ’©

          Glad that it worked for you. Have fun with RetroPie!
