| Most games supported by ScummVM were designed to be played at a screen resolution of 320x200. Most modern systems, when displaying this size image, will display it in a window that is not 1.33:1 (as the designers intended), but 1.6:1 or even 1.7:1. This results in the game appearing stretched and the characters looking wider than they should. If this option is checked, ScummVM corrects for this by stretching the game window down by a similar amount, and the game can be played without distortion. Like [[#Graphic_filters|Graphic filters]], this takes a little processing power to achieve. | | Most games supported by ScummVM were designed to be played at a screen resolution of 320x200.

| Music driver | |||
| This is the method that ScummVM uses to output MIDI music. For more details, see the [[#Music_drivers | section on music drivers]]. | |||
|-valign="top" | |||
| Output rate | |||
| This is the sample rate at which ScummVM plays back sounds (including music if using the Adlib <*** TODO or others? ***> music driver). For more information, see the [[#Output_sample_rate| Output sample rate section]] | |||
|-valign="top" | |||
| Text and Speech | |||
| For games with digitized speech, this control allows the user to decide whether to play the game with speech and without any subtitles, with subtitles displaying the words spoken in the digitized speech but not the speech, or with both. | |||
|-valign="top" | |||
| Subtitle speed | |||
| This allows the user to adjust the length of time that the subtitles are displayed on screen: the lower the speed is set, the longer the subtitles appear for. | |||
