I'm bitter to realize the thousands of pictures from the games are either made ugly stretching in the wrong aspect ratio, and that we'd need to rework all of them.
So much time and care went into cropping them while making sure it never ruins the composition. And I was also so hellbent on finding high quality sources, keeping lossless quality, never stretching...
However, what if... the UI is not fine? After all, it's in 16:10 if I'm not mistaken. I'd like to assess the challenges and drawbacks first, but I'm certainly thinking of going 16:9. Then the frame for picture could be in 4:3 (most old VNs pics are in 800x600), and text might be able to fit the newfound horizontal spaces.
okuru1, by chance, isn't that what you achieved?
