Music Configuration

Setting a GM device in Global Options is strongly recommended for music that resembles the original game.

See: https://docs.scummvm.org/en/v2.7.0/settings/audio.html#the-midi-tab

Subtitles

English subtitles are available as an add-on from the downloads page: https://www.scummvm.org/games/

To use them, extract the subtitles files into the game directory, then enable subtitles via the Audio tab of the game options or global options.

Additional subtitles for sound-based puzzles can be enabled via the "Enable subtitles for important sound effects" option on the Game tab.

16:9 Widescreen Mod

The "16:9 widescreen mod" option in the Game tab removes the letterbox margins at the top and bottom of the screen and moves all inventory item graphics into the displayed area, allowing the game to be scaled up to larger sizes on widescreen displays.
