Modern-ish 4:3 aspect ratio games for your CRT PC monitor

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8TJMoFrV1A and here's the adapter so you can make it happen
priority placed on games without a widescreen mode or that look better in 4:3 or have an internal resolution of 4:3
honorable mentions: almost every RPG Maker game, emulated games (this list focuses on native PC games)

How did you manage to run Signalis in 4:3? no matter what I do I get black borders as if it was 16:9 content.

@Dyoxsito I might have received incorrect information, I went off someone in the Google search results saying as much but I never actually confirmed myself, I'll look further into it

@PZT Remove it from the list, I did tests and the only way to have 4:3 is stretching the image making it look terrible, it is also not possible to play it in 240p since the game is 640x360 (16:9)

@Dyoxsito done, good looking out, sorry that I haven't checked all of them, I have for some but for many I'm going off second-hand reports
