Description
Description
When launched from SWISS with 50Hz video mode (576i/p), the display gets off screen at the bottom.
Expected behavior
Just as in 60Hz, display must not take place off active video area.
Actual behavior
The video has to be set to 640x480 to get back to "normal" (no option for 576 lines though?…)
Steps to reproduce the bug
- Run SWISS on a GameCube with whatever method.
- Check for SWISS's 50Hz video mode, or set it and reset SWISS to apply.
- Choose any core in the retroarch folder and launch it.
Bisect Results
Version 1.0.0.2 to 11/26/21 nightly affected, didn't try former releases.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue on a GameCube using SWISS in 50Hz video mode, then launch a core from the retroarch folder and compare the display with 60Hz. Trace the GameCube video-mode handling and identify why the active video area is exceeded at the default 576i/p settings. Done means 50Hz output remains fully visible without requiring 640x480.
