I’m sorry to bother you Patrickm, but would it be possible to make a guide on how to add the scalines or have the same setup that you have. I have a 1080P tv too and want the look you would get from the mini XRGB. Is their a way you can do a step by step guide with the commands and all. I see that you have other post on the proper resolution for each system, but I’m confuse as to where to do this changes and if I have to do it for all system or is there a universal way. I’m sorry, I’m new to all this, I barely started messing around with the pi 2 days ago. Also sorry for my bad grammar.

It’s no bother at all. I don’t know if I can make things any simpler than my explanation in “how to get scanlines.”

You have to configure each system’s resolution independently, because they all used different internal resolutions. See “list of recommended resolutions.” You need to download the scanline overlay there and follow the instructions. If you get stuck on something or have a specific question I’d be happy to help.

the settings you want to change can all be accessed through the RGUI (Retroarch GUI) by pressing F1 while a game is running.

To save a config, access RGUI and go to the save new config option. You then need to navigate to the right emulator folder in /opt/retropie/configs/ and change “emulatorname.cfg” to “retroarch.cfg,” as the settings in “retroarch.cfg” are the ones that get loaded. For example, save a new config for NES and it will show up in /opt/retropie/configs/nes as “nesotpie_libretro.cfg” (if I used nestopia), and you would change that to “retroarch.cfg.”
