PS1 is the "worst" console for this. In practice I do not care at all but the variety of resolutions or changes in screen position between games is absolutely batshit

just play on crt bruh

>>8335109
I do lol that's how I know it constantly shifts position because I've had to adjust it so often between games.

Makes sense if you think about it. The games were made when CRTs were by far the predominant display type, and they all had overscan, so why even put anything there? May as well save a bit of precious system resources and draw less stuff on screen.

If anything, I'm surprised more games didn't do this.

Old tv's (maybe new ones too, I dunno), often didn't even display the entirety of the image as they were cut off on the edges, so this was a good thing for that, and in terms of visible bars or 'widescreen' for the 4:3 aspect ratio, I always loved this and thought it looked better. A 4:3 tv with forced widescreen via bars looks better to me and presents the image better than a 'widescreen' tv where the image goes to the very edge of the screen. They also did this for many movies in theatres, and I prefer it. If this also had technical advantages for running the game then that could also be a bonus. FF7 did this in a different way by having the HP and all that other shit cut off the screen at the bottom and force a wide aspect ratio, always loved the way it looked and it's still one of my favorite battle screens. Older games always did this but it wasn't the same, in some way.

Oh my god are you the real Mario?

It's probably just Bob Hoskins.

>>8335063
Some SNES games did this too. Look at Street Fighter II for example.

Why didn't OoT do this? Maybe it could have had a frame rate above 20 FPS

>>8335218
No way, it's MARIO.

>What is overscan

>>8335070
that sounds like sex shaming which isn't progressive. you better apologize or ant-fag-a will find you. and they will bash you. and they will chant bash a fash as they do so

There were games doing it as late as the PS3/360 era. They'd cut the resolution vertically to improve performance and fit the framebuffer into memory without needing to upscale it.

>>8335218
No way...

>>8335218
I play ALL your games!

>>8335112
You don't play on CRTs. Overscanning the games a bit would solve 99% of all issues, which is how I know you're either a retard or a liar.
