      Hey guys, I am experiencing video cropping on Raspberry Pi3/Retropie 4.1, using default NES emulator and rp-video-manager 1080 crt overlay.

      I've inserted video_crop_overscan = false into both /opt/retropie/configs/nes/retroarch.cfg and /opt/retropie/fds/retroarch.cfg files and successfully saved them.

      Upon booting up game the command is ignored and cropping still exists.

      I have tried disabling rp video manager. overlay and resetting configs to default and then re-inserting video_crop_overscan = false on default, fresh file .cfgs (above the #include line!) again, command is ignored.

      Any help is greatly appreciated!

        @CascaCure i would go into /opt/retropie/all/retroarch.cfg and find the

        video_crop_overscan = true
        

        Line and put a hashtag in front of it and then see if it works.

        # video_crop_overscan = true

          Thanks alot for the reply!

          However, that line already a hashtag before it. Listed as :

          Forces cropping of overscanned frames.

          Exact behavior of this option is implementation specific.

          video_crop_overscan = true

          in opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg upon opening file.

          Edit: Hashtags in my .cfg file are not listed when copy, pasted here. I will link my .cfg via pastebin.

          Edit #2: I was able to disable overscan for Fceumm nes emulator via editing /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-video-modes.cfg and changing the command

          "fceumm_overscan = enabled"
          to
          "fceumm_overscan = disabled"

          I am not sure if this is a detrimental option, but it has solved my problem thus far.
