Funny you should mention that - I was just having the same problem with
Tron on my cab. My solution? I messed with a bunch of settings, and
ended up going with 800x600 with hardware stretch. It looks great, and
I've got the full screen again (the bottom was cut off on most other
resolutions)

Sometimes you've got to use hardware stretch, even with an AVGA card.
Not often, but with over 4,000 games, I suppose a display compromise
here and there doesn't hurt.

Kevin,
Is your cab monitor set to 800x600 or 640x480?
Thanks,
Brian
