    Thats not true though, they have a "max" resolution, but not a fixed one. Just taking the above image and reason for rejection above, "The Nintendo NES have 256x240 internal resolution" Thats only true for PAL region, NTSC was even lower at 256x224, so if a 256x240 image was added with a US region tag, that should technically be rejected if we are only using "native resolution", that is if we go on the logic the rejector offered up.

    Just to set the record straight, the NTSC NES's resolution was 256x240.  Period.  Go hook up an NES to a PVM and you'll see all 61,440 pixels.  It's only because a lot of the outside edge was cut off on a typical CRT TV in the 80s and 90s that people have this misconception that its vertical resolution was cut off to 224.  It probably adds to the confusion that the SNES really *did* have 256x224 video output, because that system cuts off the beam at the 225th scanline.
