Currently, InfoWall has the option for Square or Posters. An additional view of "Wide" would be great for game systems that have wide boxes (N64, Super Nintendo, etc.) to be displayed better.

The aspect ratio of a N64 box is: 1.41 x 1
The aspect ratio of a SNES box is 1.31 x 1
These were taken from the Hyperspin Images (pretty much the gold standard on game images)

I would say an aspect ratio somewhere in between. If it is close to 1.33 x 1 that is 4:3 and would be suitable for screenshots. It's not going to be perfect for all uses, but somewhere around 1.35 x 1 would work for pretty much everything.

Thanks a lot.
