If you want to try stretching the screen, modify gfx_sdl.bas.
Currently it asks SDL_SetVideoMode for a buffer the size of the
screen, and then uses the highest zoom amount possible. I did that
because on my emulator when I only asked for a 320x200 screen it was
glitchy with the image cut up into pieces.
