The pics come from the games' internal video format (makes sense to me..?), which of course is 1:1, but, in the UI we aspect-correct them before display.

Hmmm ok, i thought the UI didn't correct aspect after noticing some dual-screen 8:3 games had a thumbnail of 1 screen only (ex.: scross).
Now i'm wondering why the UI ends up applying a 4:3 for those thumbnails instead of the 8:3 from the driver, i'll have to look at the code sometime.

updated https://github.com/finalburnneo/FBNeo-extras with the latest additions/modifications

@7zxkv i think the repo has some thumbnails that might be missing from the packs

I'm going to take them back and add them, then recompress them all with PNGGauntlet (which is very time-consuming). What would be nice is to use the recompressed versions afterwards, so that we're all starting from the same base. We might not gain a lot, but it's still better in principle. I will come back to let you know when it's done, thank you 😉

EDIT: Full Repack (08 march)

additional note:
i have also been wondering what's the aspect ratio we should use for thumbnails, a lot of those thumbnails are using the 1:1 pixel aspect ratio (meaning a width:height display aspect ratio), but it seems to me that it'd make more sense if our thumbnails respected the game's intended display aspect ratio (4:3, 3:4, etc...). Some thumbnails, especially from vertical games, look kind of weird if you don't, there are even some cases where a vertical game has higher width than height if you ignore the display aspect ratio (ex.: mustache).

I had overlooked this one because I don't (usually) like difficulty patches. Yet RomHacking has decided to put it on its news, so it may be worth considering.

It's Grandmasters Edition, a hack for TMNT: Tournament Fighters, SNES version. It changes quite a lot of things, but essentially it's meant to make the bosses less intimidating.
