The Rampage core doesn't look like proper 4:3 on a HDMI output to me...It looks like it's not wide enough. Maybe looks 1:1..?

Has anyone else noticed this or am I suffering from gadget hyperchondria? It's fine using the analog output on a CRT.

for me on analog to scart it looks normal on a CRT. Over HDMI it is squared, but that might be because Rampage was a 25khz game if I remember correctly. So you have to adjust your CRT if possible. Or just use the fullscreen setting.

The aspect ratios were fixed on a lot of the arcades. What you're seeing is the correct AR now. Checking this specific game it should look more 1:1 not 4:3.

It does look like 4:3 in this TNT Amusements video:

Sure, because you adjust your arcade monitor to stretch the picture to the edges and center it. The original resolution of Rampage is 512x480@30 Hz, CRT 31kHz. But with the fullscreen option in the menu it shouldn't be a problem.

Full screen would stretch it to 16:9 on most HDMI displays, so it would be nice if the default aspect ratio on HDMI was 4:3.

Then that seems to be dependent on what is connected. On my 4:3 VGA Monitor connected to HDMI it stretches to 4:3. Well probably it stretches to "Full Screen" Isn't there also an "keep aspect ratio" setting?
