OK, so I have a MK2 cabinet with a 25" standard resolution K700 WG monitor.
I've got all the kinks worked out and have it running a Hyperspin front end with just the one mame wheel that I've integrated the three daphne games I play into (dragons lair 1&2 / space ace).
Here's the issue. I do have some vertical games that I like to play but they obviously don't fit well with the horizontal monitor. Is there any way to just tell Hyperspin to pick a less than ideal resolution that does fit in my current monitor and to stretch / compress the game if necessary? I know this kind of defeats the purpose and my intent as to have a second cabinet with a vertical monitor but if I can find a way to make them work reasonably well on one cabinet I would like to go that route.

One example would be Galaga (should have mentioned this).

There's nothing to config through HS.
Just tell GM the maximum number of lines you want to see on the screen.
You do that using a custom crt_range: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,116023.0.html (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,116023.0.html)
Change the maximum values from:
crt_range0 15625-15800, 49.50-63.00, 2.000, 4.700, 8.000, 0.064, 0.160, 1.056, 0, 0, 192, 288, 448, 576
to
crt_range0 15625-15800, 49.50-63.00, 2.000, 4.700, 8.000, 0.064, 0.160, 1.056, 0, 0, 192, 240, 448, 480
Remind setting "monitor custom" too.

BTW, doing so will enable an interlaced mode, which is the less bad alternative. If you are annoyed by the flicker, disable the "interlace" option. This will force a progressive mode, and will look like crap, but won't flicker.
