      After update my recalbox to 8.0.2 I can't put all vertical games on mame on 1:1 its stucked on 16:9.
      In version 7 worked normally, to illustrate the problem better, in emulator settings I put the aspect ratio to 16:9 and manually put the vertical games on 1:1, so I have horizontal games ate full screen and vertical games with aspect ratio 1:1 , in version 8 I can't do this settings.
      Any solutions or workaround to have horizzontal games at full screen and vertical games at 1:1?

          I think I'm lost with so much information there, is there a possibility that you can at least explain what I should change? THX

            Maybe I'm wrong but this is what I got from your link
            I should create an txt file with this content following the folders

            /recalbox/share/roms/mame/blazstar.zip.recalbox.conf

            The game name is just an example, what I don't get it what I should write on recalbox.conf
            PS: found some instructions on github
            video_aspect_ratio =
            I guess that I should write this to get what I need
            video_aspect_ratio = 1:1
            can you confirm this? @zing

              I should create an txt file with this content following the folders

              It's a text file editable in Notepad, but not a .txt

              /recalbox/share/roms/mame/blazstar.zip.recalbox.conf

              Exactly, notice that the extension is .conf as you quote.

              The game name is just an example

              ok

              what I don't get it what I should write on recalbox.conf
              PS: found some instructions on github
              video_aspect_ratio =

              video_aspect_ratio = 1:1

              I think it's not that parameter, and I think the value isn't that way either.

              If I'm not mistaken, the parameter and value you want in your configuration override file is:

              aspect_ratio_index = "5"
              

              If it's not this value, test the others, the first value is "0", and the last is "24" (unfortunately I didn't find an updated list saying which value is which aspect, so the best alternative is to test).
