Haha, at least I can say I have experienced it.

Early versions of Thief, like the original Dark Project, are like that. I had to ensure every time I played that I had turned off my CPU core affinities for all but Core 0. One of the main benefits of using Garrettloader, a FM loader that Raadec was afraid to use as it wasn't vanilla to him, is that it automatically turns the cores off for you. It also reinstalls a codec that normally requires running a BAT every time you want to play the game. Needless to say, it saves a lot of frustration, while the actual game is still the vanilla game.

I recall tiny spots in at least one game that I need to eventually get working, Virtual Deep Sea Fishing, a Korean fishing game from the early 2000s that I spent a lot of time on.

Heh, mine has that as well. Still, aspect ratios aren't that big of a deal to me, even being in a black box is fine and pretty unnoticeable by me most of the time. Eventually I plan on updating my monitor to either a 1440p or 4k, not sure which way I am going yet, since 1440p has much better refresh rates but 4k is a much better resolution.
