Quick question\opinions

So I was wondering what aspect settings most people on here use for MAME.Do you have MAME keep the games original aspect,or do you have MAME stretch the image out to fill your screen? im really undecided on this,on one side I want to keep these games as close to original as possible,but on the other hand I like how games look when they fill the screen... :huh:

so opinions?

+1. I don't like to see all the wasted real estate of my screen. Depends on the game I guess. And since I don't play it doesn't really matter so I just keep it stretched.

Same here stretched to fill the screen.

Not me, I like to keep it in proper ratio. That's why I was fussing about the Intellivision. There are some games that require precision, and with tall thin or fat squashed pixels, it's hard to do. I like mine nice and square like the way they display originally. In fact, I was kinda hoping somebody came up with a GameEx Mame bezel that would go out and fill the 4x3 to 16x9 space. That would be awesome.

There are several. The problem is that MAME only applies them for vertical games. This will likely require a custom MAME compile.

I always try to keep the original aspect ratio. For everything, not just games. When stretched.. everything looks... fat, lol.

Plus, the nostalgia factor is not that good when you play stuff stretched, when originally you played them as they were meant to be.

yea ive noticed with other emulators when stuff is stretched beyond its original aspect it looks fat and squashed but with MAME that doesnt seem to be the case.it looks great on MAME,but not on most other emulators.

strange...

Before you make a firm decision one way or another, you should see

regarding using the original aspect ratio from older games on newer displays and the impact of forcing the ratio smaller than the display's native ratio.
