Hi all,

A selection of games do not properly auto scale, resulting in black borders at the top and bottom. E.G. Crash Bandicoot: Warped

I tried the manual scaling within RetroArch menu (Hotkey+North). Sadly this results in over scaling the other half of the game selection. E.G. Bushido Blade

I've gone through all scaling options within the same menu, stretching fully ↔️, but maintaining black borders ↕️.

Any 4:3 auto scaling option I can use?

After comparing roms I found out that the Europe versions showed full screen and the USA left the borders ↕️.

Recommended to choose between USA or Europe. If you choose for the USA collection, a manual aspect ratio adjustment is needed within the RetroArch menu.

I have seen a small black border at the top and bottom in some games. Is this what you mean? I believe that it is normal, it's for the correct aspect ratio.
PAL and NTSC games have some differences

PAL games :
Are running slower (50 hz).
Anti-piracy protection is some games (SBI files).
Higher Resolution
Some games have bug fixes due to their later release.

NTSC games:
Running faster (60 hz)
No anti-piracy protection

@sugarfree Thanks for the technical clarification!

I noticed some PAL/Europe games have an SBI warning indeed. I am happy with the OOTB experience though.
