      I got a 5 inch hdmi monitor with resolution of 800x480 for a project and tried to run recalbox on it.

      At first, the screen was all messed up, since the Pi coudnt find the proper resolution. So I found online how to change the screen resolution via config.txt.

      So I held shift and via noobs edited the config.txt with this parameters:

      hdmi_force_hotplug=1 (not sure why they asked to do this command, but I did it anyway)
      hdmi_group=2
      hdmi_mode=87
      hdmi_cvt= 800 480 60 6 0 0 0

      And the result was this:

      The problem happens when I tried to start any game from any emulator from any console.

      It doesnt keep the same resolution. It looks like this:

      So... where else do I need to go to config the resolution? Where else I have to check ? And how?

      Thanks for helping!

        @dormonid : in recalbox.conf change videomode to default instead

        global.videomode=default
        

        see https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/wiki/TFT5-Screen-HDMI-(EN) for details... everything is explained
