Top and bottom of screen is cut in Mortal Kombat, in Smash TV the problem is similar although seems to affect the bottom of the screen more.
I have read and tried some advise from thsi thread: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=119627.0 (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=119627.0) but cannot seem to resolve this. Assuming I want to create seperate ini files for these games, can anyone advise as to the settings to get these to display correctly?

Have you tried tinkering with the Horizontal and Vertical stretch and position settings in the Slider options? (When playing a game in Groovymame, press tab for the options then go to the Slider options)
At first I had the same issue as you with most games until I found that.

THanks for your response, I know about the sliders, and this is a solution which would be fine for me, however when exiting Groovymame the slider settings do not get saved.
Any way to get the slider settings to permenantly save for a given game?

The Horizontal and Vertical stretch and position settings, are saved in the cgf-folder with a .cfg file, so it cannot be that if you start the game again, you need to do it again.

Yeah, whenever I've messed with it would always automatically save and still be that way next time I open that game up, so that's weird it's not doing the same for you.
Do the cfg files to those games exist in the cfg folder? And in your Mame.Ini is it directed correctly to that folder in the cfg option?

Guys, I finally managed to save the slider settings - the reason why it was not saving is that my cfg files were marked as read only.
Now the reason they were marked read only is that if this option is left unmarked, Groovymame would delete my settings at the next startup. So my make-do solution for the time being was to delete a cfg file, set up a game all in one go (controls, sliders) then exit the game and put the file into read only before the next time I would launch that game to prevent the settings from getting deleted. I have a feelin its something to do with the read / wriote config options in mame.ini - any ideas?
MK and Smash TV are configured and now display and play fine. What I noticed is that for certain Capcom games (SF2, Ghouls and Ghosts etc) I have slight black borders to the left and right of the image and am unable to remedy this with the sliders. I am unable to stretch the image over the black bars with the sliders - rather the image goes 'under' these black bars. Would be greatful for any insight you may have into this/

Centering shouldn't be fixed through the sliders but by creating proper monitor presets.
