Is that Batsugun I spy? :cheers: What size monitor will you use?

You should make it more like Flesh Gordon than Flash ;)

Monitor is 25" widescreen (really 24.6)... about 24.2 inches long.
Still trying to figure out the best aspect ratio to use, seems like
no matter what I try there are bars on the edge of the screen.
^^Any tips on this would be appreciated.
Unfortunately the PC I was planning on using took a dump today,
looks like I'll have to spend a bit more than anticipated... :(
EDIT:
I did some searching and testing and think I have it figured out...
I'm going w/ a 5:4 aspect ratio... it may not be 100% game accurate,
but it fills the screen (mostly) which is what I wanted. I'm also going to
play around w/ scanline effects in MAME to help things.

Isn't there a stretch function on your monitor? I guess if it's a monitor, then probably not - but if it's a tv there should be.
