Are the C64 pixels supposed to be square?
So I was trying out a little vector effect, and while it looks normal in emulator, on my C64 with a 1084-monitor I get a distinct impression that it gets a bit stretched vertically.
Is this simply my monitor that is not correctly adjusted, or are C64 pixels non-square? |

Well, the calulated aspect ratios assumes an unadjusted 4:3 CTR television set. Adjusted monitors that shows more of the side border would have a narrower aspect ratio.
However, the calculated aspect ratios could still be interesting, for emulation purposes perhaps?

This reminds me of how "all" 8- and 16-bit games are squished vertically in PAL. Seems no-one bothered to PAL-fix games, probably too small a market. Today TV sets usually have widescreen options so you can un-squish the image to make things squarer and get rid of those borders.
Get rid of those borders.. sounds somewhat demoscenish. |
