The screen is going to be connected to my pi 4 through HDMI, using x11 most likely. I'm still waiting on the lcd controller so I haven't been able to fully test the setup

By the way, I can't simply make the whole bigger/taller as I am limited by my 3d printer's printing volume

Hello there, I am working on a little project as a way to improve my cad abilities. I am hoping to build a custom fantasy computer to go along with the pico8 fantasy system. I am basing it off of the Mac se/30 but am obviously hoping to get that nice 1:1 aspect ratio.

Trouble is that decent size 1:1 screens don't seem to exist as far as I have researched, I instead found a small 4:3 lcd panel I can use, and was originally planning to simply rotate the screen and let it render 1:1 while physically covering the top and bottom, but it seems to add significantly more vertical height than I anticipated.

so now I am hoping that I can shift the screen down and somehow get the PI to render only in the topmost visible section.

Included are a couple pictures of what I mean.

I am just wondering if there is a way, in software, to rotate and move up the screen, or at least the pico 8 window
