No

using this command-line is the only way to get a 1x1 pixel square NTSC screen

xvic.exe -default +confirmonexit -model vic20ntsc -ntsc +VICdscan +VICdsize -VICaspectmode 1 -VICaspect 0.5 -VICglfilter 0

the custom size aspect 0.5 is ignored when double size is off.
only x2 screen is possible.

*try to make the same screen mode as the commad-line from the menus.
options only work in PAL model.

same problem in SDL2.

    Mmmmh i can use the GTK) UI to do this no problem.... i also see no difference between PAL and NTSC for that matter

    that works just fine for me

    have you tried a recent development build? (and which OS are you using?)

    weird...
    it did just work when starting with NTSC.
    but i had to click double size a few times.

    i now know what i did to trigger the problem.
    from the command-line batch.
    click PAL then back to NTSC.
    then double size seems to be broken in NTSC.
    and the mode can't be chosen.
