        @RetroFreak89 it's amazing what you find in the wiki. Specifically here: https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/runcommand

          @markyh444 I think he's more asking about aspect ratio rather than render resolution which can be configured from the configuration editor

              try https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/Configuration-Editor

              configure basic > configure all libretro (or individual systems if you prefer) > aspect ratio

                You can also adjust it in RetroArch pretty easily. That's how I tweak mine.
