| Mame display area the same regardless of resolution? |

I've been looking at some vertical games recently, I have a PC attached to a 25" TV via S-video at the moment (for testing). When I play 1942 for example (with a listed resolution of 224x256) it occupies the same amount of screen space as Aero Fighters (listed resolution of 224x320). This doesn't seem to change, no matter the (vertical) game. So is MAME stretching or cropping the screen? How can I play these games at their original aspect ratios? Is this even preferred? |

If the per window video options are all set to "auto" (default), why does MAME not use the correct aspect ratio (based on the listed resolution)? What setting might control this? |

you wont get arcade resolutions running MAME on a TV with Svideo. You'll need an arcade monitor and either a software solution like soft15 or a hardware solution like ArcadeVGA |

Thanks, I understand the resolution won't change, but shouldn't MAME scale the image appropriately? Games of different aspect ratios shouldn't have identical playing field sizes I assume. |
