It doesn't look right because there are a different number of bytes per
scan line of video, so the image isn't coherent at all.  It's a matter of
resolution (in pixels), not aspect ratio.

Though if you managed to patch it for the right resolution, the aspect
ratio would be wrong, since Lisa software expects tall skinny pixels,
not square ones.
