If you want to play on a 16:9 CRT, then my recommendation is: Set Dolphin to Force 4:3, do not enable Crop in Dolphin, and set the TV itself to stretch the image to 16:9.

Thank you very much for the reply. It has helped! Smile

After some digging around I found the proper way to display games on my CRT monitor (which is 4:3 by the way) and I've also uncovered some issues with Dolphin's video modes that I'll probably write down in some feature request.

The trick was using the screenshot function (f9) to capture native-res screenshots of the games to figure out their native resolution. Turns out, many of the games I was testing were using a 584x480 resolution. All I had to do was stretch the image horizontally (either by forcing 4:3 or stretch to window) to get rid of any scaling.
