Have you tried 'autoror 1'?

It picks resolutions as near as to the games' native resolution as possible...so it looks as near to the original arcade game as possible.

Then just set 'resolution 640x480' in your mame.ini (& use hwstretch).  However that defeats the point of having an arcade monitor, since all low-res games will need to be stretched up to fill the screen (ie degredating the quality).

Well I think it says in there the disadvantage to my method is games with >256 lines (quite a few vertical games) will be displayed in 640x480 with hardware stretch.  Personally, I prefer this to having letterboxed horizontal games.

Ah, thanks.  I'll give it a shot and see what I prefer.  Since I'd say about 90% of the games I play are horizontal, I'd probably prefer that as well.  Thanks for the tip (and for writing the software)!
