I wonder which paint programs have options to take account of that pixels on older computers often weren't square shaped.

For instance the Amiga had 16:15 (PAL) and 5:6 (NTSC) shaped¹ pixels.

Look top right in this clone is has a PAL button that switches between square/non-square


The most common early PC gaming resolution, 320x200 wasn't square either.


Grafx2 [0] has support for some retro screen resolutions. Not sure if has everything you have in mind , though

The problem with NTSC pixels is that their color is never the same.
