GroovyMAME's support for the ArcadeVGA is somewhat limited unless you're using one of the older ATI Radeon 7000/9200/9250 based models. With newer versions of the ArcadeVGA, GroovyMAME can be used in conjunction with PowerStrip to create custom resolutions, but I believe that it requires a lot of work.
The best GroovyMAME results are achieved with a standard Radeon HD 4xxx based card and CRT_EmuDriver (modified ATI video drivers).

I just fired up Street Fighter 2 in GroovyMAME and it runs at 384x240, not 384x224. However, it looks pixel perfect (I assume that there's padding aded to the top and bottom) and there's no tearing (it's running at slightly less than 60Hz).
Incidentally, if you're concerned about the brightness issue, you might want to pick up a video amp from Ultimarc. Though, if your monitor has a VGA connection, it might require some custom wiring... http://www.ultimarc.com/vidamp.html
