So how are you supposed to know which is the correct aspect ratio?

4:2 is what the arcade cabinet actually uses and has 1:1 PAR, while 4:3 is what looks more "natural" and what all the playthroughs on YouTube use.

The wikipedia article literally uses a 2:4 aspect ratio screenshot because that's the native resolution of the arcade version

Arcade operators are expected to adjust the monitor to make that fit in the 4:3 aspect ratio.

>> No.8712802

you're supposed to know by looking at the screen and seeing what looks right and what looks wrong and not making these shitty threads. for example, in your picture, the right one looks too squished, so use the left one.

That's usually what I go by and that's why I usually go with 1:1 PAR.

For example, this is 1:1 PAR which leaves some weird aspect ratio of 20:7 but leads to perfectly round circles. The FB Neo-provided aspect ratio is 8:3 (so two 4:3 side-by-side) with oblong circles. However, the aspect ratio for 1:1 PAR in MAME is 321:116

Many other shmups have 3:4 aspect ratio for 1:1 PAR but for some reason Espgaluda has 2:4 for 1:1 PAR.

right is native game resolution
left is how the game is supposed to be displayed on the arcade monitor. emulators use left by default.
many arcade games use non square pixels. all PGM and CPS2 and 3 games do so.
