"<br><br>The aspect ratio of the image sent out by the original consoles varied depending on "
"the game and rarely exactly matched 4:3 or 16:9. Some of the image would be cut off by the "
"edges of the TV, or the image wouldn't fill the TV entirely. By default, Dolphin shows the "
"whole image without distorting its proportions, which means it's normal for the image to "
"not entirely fill your display."
