Hey Guys & Gals,

I have been using retropie since 3.0 went out and there have not been any issues for me, but unfortunately after 3.4 I have been trying to work the vide aspect ratio on retroarch.cfg to get the full screen mode I used to get in v3.3.1 and unfortunately I am not getting anywhere with this.

On version 3.3.1, I currently use this setting to get the games to display as full screen (1.77 (16:9) HDTV US standard)

video_aspect_ratio = 1.77

I have also edited the /etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg file to have the emulator start with the video mode for 16:9 HDTV and the results are the same it does not start in full screen mode

Please help me fix this and thank you Guys & Gals in advance

I believe these are the aspect_ratio_index settings
```
0: 4:3
1: 16:9
2: 16:10
3: 16:15
4: 1:1
5: 2:1
6: 3:2
7: 3:4
8: 4:1
9: 4:4
10: 5:4
11: 6:5
12: 7:9
13: 8:3
14: 8:7
15: 19:12
16: 19:14
17: 30:17
18: 32:9
19: config (video_aspect_ratio setting)
20: 10:9 (1:1 PAR)
21: Core Provided
22: Custom
```

update retropie-setup and try the configuration editor – it makes it easier to adjust aspect ratios on a default/per system basis.

Update your retropie setup and it will work. It was really easy to fix after I did that.
