Note that disabling this option will still not necessarily make the game behave ''exactly'' like the original. Sometimes ScummVM's implementation of a feature always differed slightly from the original, sometimes workarounds are for game-breaking bugs, some workarounds are already optional, and some just aren't covered by the setting ''yet''. That said, here is a list of the enhancements that it currently covers.

* [EGA, Amiga, Atari ST] Don't allow Bobbin to simply walk through the locked cell door when clicking just below it. This was fixed in later versions of the game, though not always in the same way. ScummVM imitates the behavior of the VGA talkie version.

* [Enhanced] Restore a few lines of Lemonhead dialog to the scene where he examines the small idol. These lines were present in earlier versions. This affects the English, German, Italian, and Spanish versions. The game is also available in French, but no version has been located with the old lines intact.

* [Macintosh version]When there is no Mac-specific music (most notably towards the end of the game), play the Roland MT-32 music instead. The Macintosh instruments are a sufficient subset for this to work well.

* Guybrush will react to getting the map from Rapp Scallion. The game would originally print the lines, but they were immediately overwritten by other lines, so all ScummVM does is introduce a delay between the messages.

* Adjust the position of the green goop inside the tank in the Hall of Oddities. It was off by one pixel, allowing a few pixels of objects behind to be seen without having their color changed.
