<title>Idea for black bars &amp;quot;16:9/4:3&amp;quot;</title>
<description> I hope this is the right way to suggest an idea...



I would like to see this type of &quot;skin&quot; used to hide the black bars on wide screen TVs...
I think its a perfect solution because fake speakers perfectly blend with the television, they look more natural, and go with any game imaginable. 



I hope at least some of the emulators will implement this as a new standard feature in the future.

The speakers used in the picture are from my old television. 
If anyone wants I can make a larger version and a couple of variations, but you&amp;#039;ll have to tell me the dimensions because I don&amp;#039;t know the actual size that has to be made. 

I hope it doesn&amp;#039;t sound like I&amp;#039;m demanding it... :(</description><link>http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?26,69724,69724#msg-69724</link><lastBuildDate>Mon, 18 May 2026 14:02:15 +0200</lastBuildDate>

The idea in this case is to use it in emulators, since (as you said) coders can still mod the code, VC implementation is not an option...<br /><br />To conclude, this was only my suggestion, I&#039;m not implying that we all have the same desire, but I sure hope we do.]]></description>

If it&#039;s as simple as resizing/making a bitmap image and making a small mod to the code, it might not bee too much trouble. Unless your talking about a VC game, it could be quite easy to do.]]></description>
