Reply To: Emulation station does not recognize resolution from config.txt

ES won’t use the framebuffer width/height values. You could try switching to a 4:3 screenmode though.

you can pass emulationstation a --resolution WIDTH HEIGHT parameter to change the render resolution which might help. you would need to edit /usr/bin/emulationstation to add the parameters or make your own launch script in /usr/local/bin

however it may not position correctly on your screen, but it’s worth a try

you may have performance issue using display_rotate btw – unfortunately es has no rotation setting of its own even though retroarch etc does.
