      Hello there! Hey when i exit emulationstation by pressing F$ and goin into terminal emulator with ALT + F12 the screen displays offsett and therefore unusable; nay hint on fixing the resolution?

      And please, how i get back to emulation station if possible? So far i reboot the system; there is no other way? Thanks in advance anyways 🙂

              @niculinux most of times tvs dont properly center the image. Otherwise add some overscan

                @Substring thnaks, gonna try at home ASAP! To add overscan, it is enough to do in emulationstation or i (fear) to do some tampering with configuration station? As for exiting the terminal, may I emulationstation start or the full path is needed to be provided?

                Edit: please if someone may provide some screenshots it would be more easier 🙂

                    @substring said in Fixing teminal emulation res**tion (and quit from it):

                    @niculinux start with the es option 😉

                    @Substring sorry I could I do that? Maybe youre referring to 4:3, 16:9 options and so on or something else?

                      @niculinux no, afair there's ann ption to enable overscan in ES, nothing to do with the ratio

                        Ah ok it is in the "advanced settings" menu ☺ It worked for games (especially sega mster system ones, because of the intermediate resolution these had) but terminal still no way 😞

                        Edit: another solution may be to change manually overscan as the wiki reads:
                        https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/wiki/Overscan-settings-(EN)

                        and see what happens...but since in terminal recalbox provide only vi and vim (i always used nano) and most of all i'm a complete nood i dout gonna try since don't wanna mess with the system ;( well other ideas are more than welcome!

                        May custom overscan be in the future set in emulation station? Would be great, thanks anyways!!
