I don't think I've tried putting it at 16:9 and having the TV force it. I don't think my tv can do that. Right now I have it set on the lowest setting. I've gotten to used to it where anything else doesn't look as good to me. 1:1 looks really sharp.
Interpolation on the newest update has eliminated the need to do that. Set to the aspect that looks nice to you, and turn interpolation on... done

1:1 (zero ticks) is a bit skinny IMO. I keep yo-yoing between 3.5:3 (two ticks) and 4:3 (four ticks / center). 3.75:1 is too uneven IMO. A lot of NES games use chessboard dithering which look acceptable using the 3.5 setting but not 3.75.

Many older HDTVs allow the aspect ratio to be manually changed on 720p or 1080i HD content so the 5:3 pixels squished to 4:3 screen aspect work. However there is a widescreen flag in the HDMI signal such that newer TVs use this setting and only allow you to change the aspect on SD 480p/i content over HDMI.

My ASUS 1080p PC gaming monitor has no screen adjustment always uses square pixel aspect over DVI/HDMI regardless of resolution, so I get sidebars with less than widescreen ratios like 720x480 (NTSC) or classic PC resolutions (640x480, 800x600, 1024x768, etc...).
It seems you know a lot about what each tick on the bar is.  Can you list what ratio each tick is on the 1.3 firmware.  TIA

I have tried this "Many older HDTVs allow the aspect ratio to be manually changed on 720p or 1080i HD content so the 5:3 pixels squished to 4:3 screen aspect work" but this seems too squished to my eyes. I believe this would be two clicks on the aspect bar and then force 4:3, correct?

I have tried filling the aspect bar and forcing 4:3 and that doesn't seem right either.

Right now I think the best is 4 ticks and force 4:3 but who knows. Any tips?

Thanks. ]]> AVS Pixel Aspect http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=106&threadid=167205 2018-02-13T19:33:28 -05.00 Lifeinsteps 64 Originally posted by: Kosmic StarDust

Yeah, if we ever get an update some day. Im not so sure whats up, hasnt been one in a year now or so.

 
The second run took a lot of Bunnyboy's time, plus he's had health problems (per RetroUSB's FB.)

I've spoken to them recently and new updates are being worked on.


 

Is he aware of the black screen issues with megacatstudios homebrew carts and the current firmware? (v1.20)
  I don't know. I wasn't messaging support for that game.

Sorry for the bump, but I finally updated my AVS to the latest firmware. I've forgotten what each tick on the pixel aspect is now. All the way to the left is 1:1 and all the way to the right is full 16:9.

I remember I used to use the full width and then set the tv to 4:3, but I know there's other ticks in between that are integer scaled correctly.

There should be numbers on the slider still I think.
