I updated my earlier post in this thread with more information and ratios. Unfortunately the SMS core section is pretty confusing right now. We really need the latest commits released for that core :D

Atari + MSX aspect ratios. This has been a chore, lol. I'm considering creating a separate thread to collect all of the custom aspect ratios calculated thus far. These really only need to be calculated once and then anyone can just copy them into their .ini files and comment/uncomment as needed.

Amazing job, many people will benefit from this. A seperate post is a good idea or maybe even a github. I really hope we get a solution at some point for setting AR's per game though. Having to edit the ini file just to run a game should be an unnecessary step. It's great we have these custom AR settings available at the moment but I feel we need to push the idea one step further.
