      OK... here goes...

      I am running recalbox on a RPI3 with composite out connected to a 13" tube television. Most emulators have black bars on the sides only. Is there a way to stretch these emulators so that they fill the screen entirely like they did on the original consoles?

      I have adjusted the overscan values to get emulationstation to fill the screen correctly, hoping that this would make the emulators follow suit, but no dice.

      Any help is greatly appreciated.
      Thanks

        Here are examples, the only one that truly outputs to fullscreen is GBA

        Also here are the contents of my boot/config.txt and recalbox.conf

        config.txt = http://pastebin.com/6jCPaged

        recalbox.conf = http://pastebin.com/Zie8EjbL

        Thanks again.

          figured out that i need all retroarch emulators to be displayed in 3:2 aspect ratio. now to figure out how to get them all in that without having to create a custom config for each emulator.

            @mmmRetro you can find the parameter name for the retroarch.cfg file, and add it yourself to /recalbox/share/system/configs/retroarch/retroarchcustom.cfg. It should work. The file is xan also be found through the windows network shares
