if you decide to switch to groovymame/switchres along with crt emudriver you will no longer need to use soft15khz and powerstrip anymore. with groovymame you can tell which resolution you want to use when you launch the game, and also determine if you want scaling or not... if choosing no scaling, groovymame will fill the additional spaces with black lines if the game you are running has a smaller height than the height of the resolution being used, eg. running a 224 height game in a 240 height resolution. it's a very good and quick/convenient way of doing testing etc
eg. when running streetfighterII with the 224 height, you could tell groovymame to use a 224 height resolution, or instead use a 240 height resolution, but with no scaling, in which case the black lines above/below are used (padding lines). of course the visual results for these 2 tests would be exactly the same. if you wanted further changes regarding how the image looks, then you would adjust the vertical size pot on your monitor.
