For Ghouls'n Ghosts we can check service mode. The pattern there doesn't look like squares at all in 4:3.
In this age of flat screens, we're used to aspect ratios being a definite thing and pixels being squares on a grid, but things were fuzzier in the CRT world. 🥁
And one person may have adjusted the picture based on the test pattern, while another by eyeballing the game, or not at all. With this, what does a faithful experience even mean under emulation?
