You are correct its an issue with not supporting wide screen displays.
Xbox Original titles that are designed for 4:3 (non-widescreen) displays will show black boxes on either side of the screen when played at 720p or higher resolution, in order to avoid distorting the original game images.
That said the answer then would be releasing the game with a widescreen option. I suppose that would require some additional reworking of the game code itself, but it would probably be worth the effort. Frankly the screen size is a major factor in my not picking up other original titles. Even playing in 720p would be less distressing.
Can you tell I haven't had much cause to play any original Xbox games on my system yet. I hope they don't have the same effect if they do I might as well sell them now.
