Description
The default distribution of BizHawk starts Octoshock in the "Pixel Pro" mode which, which basically just doubles the framebuffer size and does no pixel aspect ratio correction (square pixels). Tweaked Mednafen Mode is the more console/tv-accurate setting that simulates the PAR.
Edit: Mednafen Mode -> Tweaked Mednafen mode for point scaling.

Another edit: Spike confirmed Nymashock is good on this front. Therefore, this issue isn't blocking Octoshock's removal. --yoshi
