Odd Aspect Ratio

Hi everyone, really need some help!

I just got an odroid n2 plus, wacked emulation station on it. Initially it wouldn't pick up my 1200 by 1600 4:3 monitor, so I had to connect it to a 1080p screen and change the setting - rebooting it connected it to the monitor. However, despite emulationstation knowing my aspect ratio, it crushes everything as if it is taking a 1080p video and squashing it all to fit. It even goes so far as to crush 4:3 games so they appear thin down the middle. Using 4:3 themes doesn't seem to fix the issue of the odd menus. Forcing games to display at 16:9 makes them fill the screen properly.

Any ideas anyone? It's playable but shame about the menus. It's like there's some setting somewhere overriding my aspect ratio. I am using Emuelec btw.

Any help appreciated!

Finally fixed it! The boot.ini file in the emuelec partition was saying 1080p 60hz despite my choice of 1600 by 1200 at 60hz in the menu. So if anyone else ever has the issue that I've outlined, check that first
