Nope, I ran it at 1280x1024 on my pc monitor. But you really do need a
widescreen monitor with a native res that the 360 can do. Most games
assume widescreen, a few games give borders to make it widescreen.


Problem being that the VGA resolutions offered by the 360 don't match
the native res. of most available widescreen PC monitors (1440x900 or
1680x1050 in the 17" - 22" range). There's a massive empty gap between
1360x768 and 1950x1080.

So, whilst I can do 1:1 mapping on my monitor, if I do so at 1360x768
then the picture is fairly small compared to what can be displayed & I
end up just doing a stretch keeping the correct aspect ratio.

On the other hand - using a CRT you might not get widescreen, but it's
much prettier :)
