Summary 08425: smspal, sms1pal: Wrong aspect ratio
Description Comparing direct captures from a real PAL Master System (which seem to include the whole 833x625 output area), it looks like the aspect ratio isn't correct:

Additional Information Attached are pics of:

I'm not sure this is right, even after your changes. It looks like the blue border actually extends further out than it does at the moment.

Is the black border added by MAME?

I just added the black borders to fill the full frame, for easier comparisons between the real and emulated screenshots.

The colored borders not extending all the way to the full frame is a separate issue (though I guess fixing it might fix this one too): https://mametesters.org/view.php?id=6892
