@wyatt I can think of one kind of 2D game that benefits from a widescreen patch. Some platformers use heavy "dual forward focus" in the camera, showing more of the map on the side of the screen that the player is facing to give the player more time to react to hazards. Think Yoshi's Island for SNES, the Sonic games for Game Gear, or Full Quiet for NES. A widescreen patch reduces camera movement when turning around, which could improve accessibility for players with motion sickness.

Indeed! I well remember the days of rolls of #blackandwhite #film loaded into a #Kodak #Brownie #camera.

That gave you 8 pictures which you had to choose carefully as the whole roll would have to last a week, and you wouldn't see the results, grainy 3" x 2" prints, till after you got home and had taken the film to be developed at the local chemists shop.

Typical examples from my early teenage years at:

Hello. I am performing some deeds for my mother-in-law. We found this “126” film and, before I try to get it developed, is it actually unused? In the window instead of a frame number I see parts of right-facing arrows, and the left side of the cartridge is heavier, making me think no film has been taken up on the larger-diameter spool to the right. I hope someone who has seen one of these before could confirm or deny for us. Thank you!

Introducing my smallest #film camera, a 1950s Kunik Petie 📷📏

Weighing in at a diminutive 54g, this petite old girl is capable of capturing 10 (probably soft focussed) images in tiny 14x14mm square format.

It was a bit of a journey to get her loaded up (modelling and 3d printing a spool, cutting a strip of 16mm plus backing paper from some 120).

Test roll shot in #birmingham,, let's hope there are some #photos on this when I develop 😅
