      Hello,
      I am encountering issue with a Grundig P45-540 text CRT TV (this) and my retropie setup (details below).
      TV is connected directly to pi2scart via SCART cable. Consider that I am based in EU and therefore PAL is what we have here.

      The issue is that despite emulation station being perfectly rendered on the TV, games (whatever emulator) are run in a non-fullscreen window like in this picture CRT_pi2scart.jpeg.

      I think the answer may be in the HDMI timings in the boot file which I kind of put blindly from a facebook post, seemed to work much better than the default ones suggested for pi2scart kind of everywhere which I think worked well for NTSC.

      I attach here below the pastebins for
      config boot txt file
      retroarch cfg in /opt/retropie/configs/all folder
      retroarch core options cfg in /opt/retropie/configs/all folder
      psx retroarch cfg in /opt/retropie/configs/psx
      snes retroarch cfg in /opt/retropie/configs/snes

      Do you have any suggestions? Any help is greatly appreciated
