MAME resolution q' -> Should I expect games to fill arcade monitor?
<< < (7/7)

Probably one thing you can do if you haven't already is UNCHECK (or set in ini) the enforce aspect ratio.  I haven't used MAME in a while, but if I recall, enforcing the aspect ratio usually meant you never got a full screen image unless the resolution was 4x3 in proportion.

If you're using a PC monitor, this is all probably moot now, but the multisync monitors from WG / Betson / etc are pretty slick solutions.  In fact, using those with AdvanceMAME (or possibly AVGA with a std res monitor though I haven't tried that yet) is about as close to the original images in clarity /lack of as you can get.  It's not to say that 1600x1200 using anistropic filtering / aperature grill effects looks bad...  but not as good as on a more game oriented display.

Just my 2 cents...  if using a PC monitor works for you, then go with that.  Other solutions are out there if you want to do more later.

Oh - and smack anyone who'd rather MAME on an LCD.   ;)
