You have to edit your PCE.INI file and manually change the fullscreen resolutions:

Code:
  ;
  ; fullscreen screen resolutions
  ; --
  ;   custom screen resolutions to be used for the different
  ;   PC-Engine video modes (256x224, 320x224, and 352x224)
  ;
  ;   (by default a resolution of 640x480 is used for all the
  ;    video modes)
  ;

res_256=512,448
res_320=672,448
res_352=672,448


Of course, those custom resolutions don't exist in Windows, you'll have to create them beforehand with a tool like PowerStrip. Make sure you fully understand how this tool works, I take no responsibility for any damage it would cause to your system if used improperly.

In doubt, you'd better stick with ME 1.0 and use its fullscreen stretch mode.

By "custom resolutions", I mean user-created resolutions which are not standard Windows modes (512x448 for example). But it seems you just want to change the default 640x480 with another standard resolution (say, 1024x768), right?

You don't need any tweaking tool for that. Just replace my above examples 512,448 and 672,448 with 1024,768 or whatever is natively supported by your system. It works in ME 0.99. Next version of ME 1.0 will allow you to select any Windows mode directly from the Video menu.

Make sure you're using ME 0.99 beta 5 and that you correctly configured your INI.

Code:
[video]

  ;
  ; windowed mode
  ; --
  :   select windowed mode at startup
  ;
  ;   y -> windowed
  ;   n -> fullscreen [default]
  ;

windowed=n

  ;
  ; fullscreen stretch
  ; --
  ;   y -> enable
  ;   n -> disable [default]
  ;

fullscreen=y

  ;
  ; fullscreen stretch mode
  ; --
  ;   0 -> always
  ;   1 -> only for 1x1 display size
  ;   2 -> only for 2x2 display size [default]
  ;

fullscreen_mode=2

  ;
  ; bilinear filtering
  ; --
  ;   y -> enable
  ;   n -> disable [default]
  ;
  ;   (this option doesn't work with all the video card)
  ;

filtering=y

  ;
  ; display size
  ; --
  :   select display size at startup
  ;
  ;   0 -> 1x1 zoom
  ;   1 -> 2x2 zoom [default]
  ;

size=1

  ;
  ; display zoom
  ; --
  ;   0 -> software  [default]
  ;   1 -> hardware
  ;

zoom=1

  ;
  ; auto frame skip
  ; --
  ;   y -> enabled
  ;   n -> disabled [default]
  ;

auto_frame_skip=y

  ;
  ; video sync
  ; --
  ;   y -> enabled
  ;   n -> disabled [default]
  ;

vsync=n

  ;
  ; fullscreen screen resolutions
  ; --
  ;   custom screen resolutions to be used for the different
  ;   PC-Engine video modes (256x224, 320x224, and 352x224)
  ;
  ;   (by default a resolution of 640x480 is used for all the
  ;    video modes)
  ;

res_256=1024,768
res_320=1024,768
res_352=1024,768


Change 1024,768 with whatever resolution you want, but it has to be supported by Windows. If it doesn't work, you're using an incorrect resolution.

I haven't the slightest clue. Try zoom=0 to force the software stretch.
