games launching in top left corner

[pernod]

Hello everyone, I have installed retro pie and when i go to run the games, they all launch in the top left. When i go to change the asepct ratio to custom, it gives me the full screen aspect ratio but the game is cut of at the corner. I have tried overscan settings left right ect and scale nothing has changed. The game is centered

i am running of a pi4 using version 4.8.6 on the raspberry pi os.

any help is greatly appreaciated

edit - When i unfull screen the game it goes into a smaller window, when i full screen that window it works, asin it covers the whole screen with the game, now how do i make it open like that every time?

Are you running RetroPie (EmulationStation & Emulators) from the desktop environment ? This is not a supported configuration - some thing may run, others may not run at all or have issues.

@mitu Thanks for the reply!
Yes I am running it on the desktop version, but how else would I install gpionext for my acrade machine to work, I have a 2 joystick 6 button per side and 2 sets of start&select buttons all running to the same gpio pins. Is there no way to configure the emu station to open in fullscreen borderless windowed like that, because when i go to configure the game using select x It doesnt open with the same config, and yes I have open config on start turned on.

Installation is one thing, running EmulationStation + the rest of the emulator is another. If SSH is not an option for you, then once you finish downloading and setting up gpionext you can disable the graphical interface and then boot normally to EmulationStation.
