[quote=105763]Thanks Smithers again!

Unfortunately i do not remember the download site for my *wads. What i remember is that i created them (with patcher.exe). Thesy also needed prboom.wad and Doom.wad i think..I use them with retroarch (windows7) and prboom_libretro.dll and they work..I just told you in case you could revive them in linux

Anyway, the real thing i am facing now is the black vertical bars (right and left) when i am launching retropie from inside kodi. These bars remain on my EmulationStation menu (where the emulators are). Any ideas why? My tv set is 21:9 aspect ratio and i assume the problem relies in there..

I’m not familiar with modding wads in that way I’m afraid so Im not able to test this out. If you were able to upload the wad files somewhere then I can certainly take a look at adding them in? Let me know.

Definitely sounds like your TV is the ‘issue’ here (not so much an issue but a compatibility thing). You might want to try changing the resolution in config.txt on the retropie boot partition. If OpenELEC is displaying ok then tThat would suggest your TV is happy with 1080p, so try changing the retropie resolution to the following, which is 1080p:

hdmi_group=2
hdmi_mode=82

There are loads more resolutions to try though – see below link:

You can also change the aspect ratio inside the main retroarch.cfg file to suit your TV. If you edit the file you will notice that in the ‘aspect ratio’ section I have included (but commented out) a number of different aspect ratio codes – you can try one that works best with your TV (if it is a problem).

Good luck!
