yep, that´s expected for most games, maybe you should read in user manual what 
this option is supposed to do and what it is for...
there was a reason for part of the screen to be hidden by Game Gear LCD, you 
just discover it.

btw, if someone is thinking of a better name for this option, because i am sure 
you will not be the last one complaining about screen garbage in this mode, he 
is welcome...

Perhaps just showing a warning message the first time that option is turned on 
would do?

Something like "Warning: Please note that some games will show scrambled 
graphics that were intended to be kept hidden behind the borders".
