      Hey,

      So I have a modded Mortal Kombat Arcade1Up machine, with a custom bezel.

      The bezel isn't sized quite right for my monitor (5:4 = 1280x1024). The top of the screen is a bit cut off / covered up. I corrected this by changing the overscan options. In particular, the overscan top to "overscan_top=12". This makes everything visible within my bezel cutout.

      However, how does this affect aspect ratio? Do I need change the frame buffer to make sure the screens always showing proper aspect ratio per game? Just want to make sure my games aren't being vertically squeezed.
