Guise, i am a doofus, so i need spoon feeding, when playing PS2 games, are they ALWAYS supposed to be played in 4:3 aspect ratio? Is anything else just ruining the image? I have tried both but im an idiot probably and find it hard to tell.

if it doesn't have a Widescreen setting in-game then keep it at 4:3
>not realizing that 4:3 is the perfect resolution

I gues its pretty obvious but i never tired before... The side boxes really bother me but i am just streching an image fat other wise right? Pic related. I was born in 1990 but im clueless, why did they do this? Were widescreens just too uncommon?

Gtfo hipster trash
If the game has no support for widescreen, you can softmod your console and try using a widescreen cheat. Look for Open PS2 Loader and cheat support.

I don't mind going for what the devs intended though if it lools ok in the end. So is it a rule of thumb that gen 6 and lower ought to just be played 4:3?

You where not born in 1990

Widescreen wasn't a thing back then like it is now.
>>378117775
I'm pretty sure it's up to the game if it has 16:9 support or not. SSX Tricky makes you choose between 4:3 letterbox and 16:9 widescreen in the options.

You could kinda im sure? I always had these and was jelous of big TV's as a kid. Maybe they wee just bigger 4:3's though...
>>378118948
Any console game before Xbox 360 and PS3 was best played on a 4:3 CRT display.

Look at this nigger, I bet he thinks muh 4k muh cinematic is the greatest thing to hit consumer televisions.
OK kid, you can go jump off a cliff now.
>>378119431
Can't do CRT, but my PS2 does at least use a Component cable which, compared to Composit is night and fucking day.
>>378118948
The Xbox has a bunch of games that support widescreen and a few even do 720p
>>378119590
Wrong, but nice try bucko. How was your last day at school? Ready for summer?
You're not ruining the image, you're playing the superior version by going 16:9. Just ask Raidou

How does having severe brain damage from overdosing on memes and buzzwords feel?
>>378117775
I have deffo been making a mistake for at least two years since i got back into retro and PS2 gaming guise... I feel like such a fool. Didn't know my TV COULD go back to 4:3 or that it mattered...
>>378119143
this.
I've gotten around this by applying a widescreen patches directly to game isos and dumping them to HDD

PS2 and GC only renders out games in 4:3. When you choose 16:9 option in games, it squishes the image for your TV to strech it back for 16:9 display.
Xbox got true 16:9 display.

I now realise the error of my ways.
