: I have a standard/low res arcade monitor and ArcadeOS (The link above for the forum is broken) and every vertical game I have tried (using Mame 37b13) gets the top and bottom cut off. I have run all the resolutions listed and they all do it, the auto setting doesn't run the game at all. I have it set to run -H horizontal, and if I run it vertically it displays fine, but my monitor is mounted in a cabinet and doesn't rotate. I have tried the older (I have heard more stable) v2.35 and that does the same thing. Any ideas? Thanks for taking the time to read this.

I have an idea. Buy a monitor that has more resolution. From your description, it really sounds like your monitor is not capable of displaying all the pixels the game needs and so Mame displays what it can.
