I believe it's written into the PSTV's kernel that way. I imagine mostly because stretching 4:3 games to 16:9 on a TV vs a small handheld would look absolutely atrocious.

Though it does make me curious as to whether someone could write a plugin that stretches 4:3 images to 16:9, but I dunno if that's even possible.
i prefer everything to be in 16:9 even ps1 games...i hate black bars so bad..

would be nice if the flow added the option 2 stretch ps1 games, i can do it now but i have to use my tv scaler which is annoying

For everyone complaining about memory cards, and to answer that one guy's question-- Vitashell allows you to use a USB stick as your primary storage on PSTV ! PSTV is dirt cheap and can now run Atari up to PS1/Vita games in 720 resolution! And the PS1 games I've tested so far are 100% speed no sound glitches or anything! COOL! :O

And it just got better! If you really want to be a weirdo, it now supports fullscreen for PSTV!

Replace the files inside the adrenaline folder on the memory card. Is simple, using adrenaline v4, all updates can be done with in adrenaline (I assume using the official psp update firmware option would update adrenaline version in future)
