Basically, you'd be unable to change any of your video settings and it zoomed in too much so parts of the screen (read: boss healthbars and score) would be cut out.
Interesting. How are you playing? If my Xbox is set to 640x480 and 4:3, and I play arcade mode with the game's wide mode off, I get full screen without anything cut off. None of the video settings do anything, but they don't need tweaking for me.
If I do the same thing with the Xbox set to 1024x768 4:3, it's a doubly letterboxed mess though (much like Guwange pre-patch).
Another way to fix it is to set the Xbox to 720p (but displaying on a 4:3 screen, CRT computer monitors should be able to do this) with wide mode on, and then using the video settings to stretch the play area to full screen. Incidentally, this trick also works for fixing Raystorm HD (which otherwise forces the original game's 4:3 to be stretched to widescreen, even when displaying in 4:3 video modes).
I love shmupping on X360 but so many games have their own bizarre quirks if you want to play them properly. We almost need a dedicated thread as a place to consolidate and make sense of it all.
