    I suppose it’s a flat screen TV and not CRT? For CRT it’d be relatively easy to add a new aspect-corrected mode where horizontal sampling timings are multiplied by 4 except active which is multiplied by 3. However, the resulting super resolution mode would not work on a flat screen which instead would require resampling line buffer contents.

    A memory organization has been done for the next firmware which among other improvements frees up enough RAM to make it possible to read 2 samples from line buffer for each output pixel. That would allow linear interpolation horizontally and thus freeform scaling in X-axis. However, FW development for OSSC Classic is no more done actively so I can’t promise that feature gets implemented in near future or at all.
