Changing MAME screen size
Howard_Casto:
Actually the calculations arne't complex at all. The way mame does artwork files:
Screen Width=1
Screen Height=1
This is regardless of screen aspect, resolution or orientation.
so .1,.1,.9,.9 is always gonna effect the screen the same way.
Edit:
Correction on the coordinates, I had my head wrapped up in the viewer version of mame when I posted this.
They would be -0.1,-0.1, 1.1,1.1 but the exact same concept and ease of use applies.

My point was that your coordinates will probably work to take 10% off the entire screen, but you could use different coordinates to take 20% off the TOP of the screen leaving an image 80% of original size at the screen bottom.
I can never come up with the numbers in my head, but I could make an art file and make them work if I needed to.
