> Good to know. We have a very different views and ways of looking at things.
Let me ask you something. You said you play "most" 4:3 games stretched to 16:9, but now you've also said you don't play fighting games which arguably are a good portion of MAME arcade games.
So here's my suspicion: the games you play that are 4:3 stretched to 16:9 are simple games with no background and maybe 2-color sprites. Things like the 8080bw games for instance.
Games like that are a bit more forgiving to being stretched abnormally.
But games with high color depth and high resolution, at least the ones you enjoy, those are the ones you *don't* stretch?
Otherwise the only games in MAME you actually play are your preferred "golden age arcade classics".
