Does anyone have MAME displayed vertically on a 5:4 monitor?

I just can't seem to get a fullscreen picture.  I get letterboxing on all 4 sides.  I'm using MAME .87 and MaLa as my front end.  I need to work this out! 

Thanks!   :cheers:

Have you tried the 'aspect' setting?  I'm not sure if it's in your older version of MAME, but in recent versions you can tell MAME what aspect ratio monitor you have.

I tried changing the aspect from 4:3 to 5:4 in the mame.ini file and it had no effect.  I also tried changing the resolution from "auto" to 1280x1024 and the picture got worse (squished like crazy).

Kaytrim:

You need to reverse the numbers because you have the monitor vertical instead of horizontal.  The short side as now at the top instead of the long side.  That is why your image squished when you set the resolution.

Thanks Kaytrim - I already thought of that and tried a 4:5 setting as well as a 1024x1280 setting.  No dice.  Any other ideas?   :cheers:
