you can't.
this is a problem with shaders that assume things about pixels.
in reality a system doesn't have a fixed horizontal resolution, some even mix 'resolutions' between layers because different chips can output at different rates. (typical examples, Galaxian starfield and the PC-FX VDPs)
MAME drivers have to use a resolution that is the lowest multiple of all the possible selections (which is possible as they're all driven by the same clock) in order for things like mid-screen raster effects to work.
if you don't do that then you'd always have a frame delay between a game trying to use a mid-screen effect and MAME changing resolution to that, which wouldn't be correct.
proper shaders, like the CRT ones care less about pixels, much as the TV wouldn't care about pixels.
