Description
When "Use system's recommendation" is enabled, all Genesis Plus GX games still display in a 1:1 pixel aspect ratio, regardless of system or region setting. Forcing the games to run at 4:3 under "Use custom AR" provides a good enough facsimile, though I have to manually disable it for when I play games using other systems and cores. The libretro docs website lists aspect ratio options under Core-Provided Aspect Ratio [genesis_plus_gx_aspect_ratio]

Research direction
Start by tracing the "Use system's recommendation" display configuration and the Genesis Plus GX core's aspect-ratio options, including the region and system settings described in the report. Done means Genesis Plus GX no longer remains at a 1:1 pixel aspect ratio under the system recommendation, while custom aspect-ratio behavior for other systems and cores remains unaffected.
