*edit*
As an experiment, quit ES and go to the command line, enter
emulationstation --resolution 1024 768
(4:3 aspect ratio)
and you should get black bars,
then try:
emulationstation --resolution 1024 576
(16:9 aspect ratio)
and this should work ok

This worked exactly as you said it should. 16:9 aspect ratio gets rid of the bars.
@InsecureSpike If you find anything it would be appreciated.
