VBA-GX: Correct screen aspect ratio? (With no blur, sharpen pixels!)

Dear Tantric,

I am a huge fan of your work and I am pretty amazed with the Wii capacity of running all emulators on real 240p on a 480i traditional CRT/SD TV. I am really really amazed. I loved this from the very first minute I saw! The NES, SNES and GEN emulators are pretty awesome, everything is superbly fine and my only complain (followed by a question) resides on VBA-GX.

Is there a way to run the games on their NATIVE original screen aspect ratio? I mean, I don't want the games to fill/strech the TV screen. I would love to have them on their correct width x height pixel size, and consequently, with no bilinear/blur on the image.

Is this possible? And yes, I am aware that GBA has a smaller screen (pixel wise) when compared to SNES, NES and GEN, and I really don't mind to have black empty spaces around it.

Do you think is this feasible?

If you ever played with the GBA-Player on GameCube you will know what I am talking about --- The only thing missing on GameCube GBA display was the option to get rid of the damn blur/bilinear filter. Oh God.

Best regards,
And I am curious to hear your response!

If by GEN you meant Genesis Plus Gx, that was written by Eke-Eke.

Yes, you are right... pardon me!

Hey guys...

No one has a word on this?
Maybe this is already implemented and I am
missing a correct way to reach it within the emulator?

In my point of view it should be fairly simple to get
the screen on correct aspect ratio. FCEU-GX and SNES
do it flawlessly!

I am eager to get any news on this matter!
Thanks!

I'm not sure if that's possible with vba. I know for sure that the default video setting for Daid's gb emulator (gb4gb) is what you want. You can try that instead or wait for a more vba-educated post. btw sorry if this doesn't help.

Thanks Technoman!
I will check it out!
