Win98SE w/GeForce3->JPAC->Wells Gardner 25" (horizontal)
MAME .106
MAMEWAH 1.61 /1.62b10
I have run the MAME resolution tool AND powerstrip following instructions exactly, and just about all of the games I've tried seem to work perfectly, and the picture quality is great. However, I cannot get all of the screen for MAMEWAH or any games to display. I always see only the top 1/2 or 2/3rds of the screen, and everything is stretched vertically too big for the screen.
Why does everything hang way off the bottom of the screen? (While I am quite the noob, yes, I did adjust the V-Size on the monitor.)
Interestingly, when using the On-screen display in powerstrip when in a game, and it looks like all signals to my arcade monitor are running at 640x480. It doesn't matter what game I'm playing, even though I have all the .ini files created and in the right place. Shouldn't the number on the display match the resolution of the game in the .ini file, or the resolution actually internal to mame, leaving the actual display at 640x480 all the time?
Any ideas?

Here's my .ini from MAMEWAH 1.62 as I try to load "1942", and "1943", both which have .ini files generated, with resolutions of 200ish x 200ish (I'm not in front of my PC right now)
