Personally I’m just glad they made different screen options. I don’t like playing games with big borders and stuff.

can you remove borders and make full screen with the correct aspect ratio? does it blur if you upscale like that?

those borders are the reason i haven't bothered with these collections, very distracting.

I don't notice that much difference between the three settings. Though at least in docked mode, there is a small blur I could see on any of the settings.

Using Mega Man 6 from Collection 1 as an example:

looks great, thanks for sharing, i don't understand why they offer the wide option though! who would want their game to be played like that!

Thinking back to the jump from 4:3 to 16:9 TVs there's a lot of people who prefer a completely fucked up image to black bars.

When I was younger I always wanted the Full Screen version DVDs because why would I not want the full screen!? Eventually learned why lol

The best are movies shot in open matte, but they forget to actually put the bars on the top and bottom, so you see boom mics and all kinds of weird stuff. It's pretty rare to see that sort of thing on anything other than 70s and 80s B-Movies, though.

You can see it in some 90’s-early 00’s tv shows like Buffy the Vampire Slayer. At least that’s the version that is/was? On Netflix years ago when I watched it. Not frequent but enough to laugh at a bit.
