Make the crosshair hit where the mouse points when the game is scaled

Shots land beside the cursor as soon as the game window is stretched, centred in a larger page or shown with black bars. The mouse reports positions on the page, not inside the game. This entry converts them correctly and tells you when the cursor is on the bars.

Why this works

The mouse and the game speak different coordinates: one counts from the page, the other from the picture. Aiming works once you undo, in reverse order, exactly what was done to the picture: move it, add bars, enlarge it. Then the same spot means the same spot.

When not to use it

Skip it when the game is steered by keys or a gamepad and the mouse only clicks big buttons: a page-level click is enough there. Also skip it if the game fills the page at exactly its own size, with nothing scaled.
