Title: MAME Cab Fullscreen question...
Post by: lojac005 on October 23, 2012, 01:13:40 pm

So I finally have everything working... and I'm trying to get the games into full screen mode and for some reason its not working.  Now I swear that when I hooked stuff up a while back to test things out... I was able to stretch out games like Street Fighter etc from the typical square box... as I'm using a 26" widescreen HD TV as my arcade monitor.... to a more widescreen picture.  It didn't take up the entire space.. but was certainly not a square picture... I'm almost certain of this.

I have Hyperspin in Fullscreen mode.. that looks great...   and when I'm in the Emulator options and look at the toggle it just has for full screen.. when I get back out.. its either full screen with huge black bars making the game square... or in a smaller window.  And I honestly swear that I had the games stretched more...  and it was through the emulator options.. but now I can't figure it out... 

Are there general options im missing or something...  ?  Anyone.. thoughts ?

Thanks for your help !
