Hi, i downloaded real arcade and installed it, then I downloaded a game and when I went to play the game it made my monitor (set at 1024x728) look like i was looking through a magnifying glass, it was all curved on the sides, so I was like okay, then it ended up not responding and I closed the program, but my screen stayed with the curves, so i changed reso. to 820xwhatever and it made everything huge and made the screen curve in the other way so i set it back to 1024x728, can anyone help me fix this please.

Hi ... What you need to do is set your resolution back to 800x600 , keep the color quality at 32 bit , Now if you notice your monitor isn't in full screen mode you then need to adjust your monitor with the control on your monitor setting
