I am a new at all of this, so sorry if this is a stupid question. I am having similar problems as well. some games do not go full screen but also they are offset a little from center. I am using a radeon 7000 card and thought that radeon supported stretching. so now I wonder if the problem is with direct3D. I don't know though, as I said I am new to this

btw, before you go much farther.

you MIGHT consider using SciDisplayDoctor (free) and dos.  It might give you all the resolutions you are looking for.

The initial problem you are having is you have a game that wants to run 320x200 (for instance) but mame thinks your smallest resolutions is 400x300.  So it goes to 400x300 and centers the game.

BUT.  SDD might give you ALL the resolutions normal for arcade games.  So afterwards you would play all games at full screen at native resolutions... And getting the DOS speed increase is also a plus.

It sounds like you have a slow system (based on the video card and lack of AGP port... Only reason I'm suggesting it.

Also.. if you have win98... you can have a dual boot type system pretty easy.

Ok, first try the fixes I mentioned in this thread:

Although your MAME32 results do sound like lack of Hardware Stretching might be the problem.

BTW, you don't need a very good video card to make this work, I had an old 4M Rendition Verite PCI card and it did fine for this. . .
