Aaron Giles, A MAMEdev, has recently updated his developer's log.

A whole pile of stuff has changed during the 0.106 development cycle, and though we are a few weeks away from a real 0.107 release, it’s probably time to sit down and have a little heart-to-heart about the video options.

Since its inception 9 years ago, MAME’s video system has defaulted to a mode where it tries to change resolutions on you. And since the first port of the core to Windows 5 years ago, it has defaulted to using your graphics card to stretch the video to that resolution.

I’m sure a lot of you out there have taken a lot of time to tweak the current set of video options to make them work the way you like. But every once in a while, you need to take a step back and re-evaluate the situation. The current video system has been in place for 5 years now without much substantial change. And with the recent rewrite, you’re almost certainly going to want to rethink the way you have things configured.

At the highest level, there are really three different ways you can configure the new system. Placing yourself into one of these three categories will help you get the initial settings right. From there, you can tweak with the settings to figure out what works best.
