I prefer either the 8:7 or 4:3 display aspect ratio for SNES games, as I dislike seeing them stretched to widescreen. Most SNES games were designed with art that looks proportionally correct only at 8:7, but 4:3 matches how we viewed them on old CRT TVs back in the day. Both ratios are acceptable, depending on your goal. For the most aesthetically and proportionally accurate look, I’d recommend 8:7 for the majority of these games. However, some titles—especially certain fighting games—were crafted with the 4:3 stretch in mind and actually look better at that ratio, so stick with 4:3 for those. In general, the vast majority of SNES games shine at 8:7, a smaller group at 4:3, and all look terrible in widescreen, in my opinion.

All right 8:7 so game screen unchanged and set better graphic on SNES9x for now I can try any SMW Hack by using SNES9x with Spearate Echo Buffer & Disable Sprite Limit enabled

I think you framed the aspect ratio question wrong. It’s not “8:7 (Normal)” and “4:3 (Little Wide)”, it’s “8:7 (Little Thin)” and “4:3 (Normal)”. Any SNES game presented in 8:7 is going to be thinner than anyone could have actually experienced pre-emulation because the pixel aspect ratio (PAR) was never 1:1; this is because CRT displays didn’t use fixed-pixels. Measurements range from a PAR of 7:6 to 8:7, which results in a display aspect ratio (DAR) range of 4:3 to 64:49 (which is just 4:3 but a little thinner; IMO it has better results with circles). Presenting certain options as “Normal” and other options as stretched or distorted is a disingenuous representation of a surprisingly complex topic which I feel has heavily skewed the results of the poll.

While I'm play some Super Mario World Hacks on SNES9x & ZSNES
Some Rom Hacks does break the music when someone tell it can be fix with SNES9x
When it's getting better and I'm about to changing game size for the future gameplay
Which size screen of SNES9x should I make? (as well as other classic SNES games)
