Aspect Ratios -- What are your screens?
« on: April 12, 2009, 12:53:08 am »
What size of monitor do you play arcade games on?  You have 3 max. votes.  If you have more machines than that (lucky), pick the most used/more popular ones.

Hopefully, this will give some insight for people creating new layouts or FEs.

I see you started that one too. Bit strange to start two similar topics.

That one is for what AR you use with MaLa.

This one is more generic.
