I tried working on this over the weekend. I tried adjusting the frame buffer values and tried disabling overscan without success. I found that removing the line “overscan_scale=1″ from my config.txt file helped a little bit. Now I can see about half of the emulationstation menu. It seems like adding this line is the only thing that has helped everyone else, so I am out of ideas.

you need to add overscan_scale=1 in conjunction with the various overscan_left/etc settings. your settings from above:

overscan_left=23
overscan_right=-20
overscan_top=-20
overscan_bottom=-10
overscan_scale=1

if ES is running OVER the edge of the screen, you should be using positive numbers. negative numbers exacerbate the problem – they’re for when you have a black border around ES. so it makes sense to me that if you remove overscan_scale=1, you see more, assuming you’re still using the above set up.

try:
overscan_scale=1
overscan_bottom=20 (rather than -10)

if that works i’d probably do the same with the other overscan_’s – you’ll probably find they all need the same number.

The config file you quoted isn’t mine. It was posted by someone else. As I mentioned in my last two posts, I have already tried overscan_scale=1 in conjunction with overscan left, right, etc values and it makes no difference. In my particular setup, overscan_scale=1 seems to make the problem worse. Removing that line allowed me to see a little more of the screen, but I still have an overscan problem.
