Good night people.
Currently, when I start the "FM TOWNS MARTY" emulator, it is the screen attached to this post that I see.
My current command line for this system is:

mame64.exe fmtmarty -cdrom "[ROMPATH] \ [ROMFILE]" -keepaspect

I have no idea what the command is for the image to reach the upper and lower edges of my monitor, without stretching the image.
If anyone there knows and can talk to me.

Per MAMEDev there are no additional display settings I could find that would stretch the display to fill the vertical sizing to the top and bottom of the  display while keeping the aspect ratio correct. Below is what the command line list states for the -keepaspect command line:

-[no]keepaspect / -[no]ka

When enabled, MAME preserves the correct aspect ratio for the emulated system's screen(s). This is most often 4:3 or 3:4 for CRT monitors (depending on the orientation), though many other aspect ratios have been used, such as 3:2 (Nintendo Game Boy), 5:4 (some workstations), and various other ratios. If the emulated screen and/or artwork does not fill MAME's screen or Window, the image will be centred and black bars will be added as necessary to fill unused space (either above/below or to the left and right).

When this option is disabled, the emulated screen and/or artwork will be stretched to fill MAME's screen or window. The image will be distorted by non-proportional scaling if the aspect ratio does not match. This is very pronounced when the emulated system uses a vertically-oriented screen and MAME stretches the image to fill a horizontally-oriented screen.

On Windows, when this option is enabled and MAME is running in a window (not full screen), the aspect ratio will be maintained when you resize the window unless you hold the Control (or Ctrl) key on your keyboard. The window size will not be restricted when this option is disabled.

The default is ON (-keepaspect).

The MAME team strongly recommends leaving this option enabled. Stretching systems beyond their original aspect ratio will mangle the appearance of the system in ways that no filtering or shaders can repair.
