Sadly, there where was a MAMETESTER forum, it was a sticky at one time about this Bugs that are NOT bugs. (BTANB)
In short, Neo-Geo games were made with 2 different resolutions - 320x224 and 304x224. Prior to 0.122u4 - the behavior was to arbitrarily stretch the image to 320x224, regardless of original resolution of the game. This caused a lot of people nit picking the graphics (in particular, the stretched text) as the forced stretching of certain bits caused odd looking characters at times.
The decision was made in 0.122u4 and onward to force the screen resolution to 320x224 for all games, but not stretch. This is the way Neo-Geo handled it originally and the monitor would be adjusted to remove those 'bars' on the side. Graphic oddities and glitches appear from time to time in these unused screen portions.
If you hit TAB, then select Video Options, you can choose the style which you desire. If you want to old behavior (stretching image to the sides) - choose "Screen 0 Stretched (304x224)". By default, the setting is "Screen 0 Cropped (304x224)".
