| == Graphic filters ==
| |
|
| |
|
| ScummVM offers several anti-aliasing filters to attempt to improve visual
| |
| quality. These filters take the original game graphics, and scale it by a
| |
| certain fixed factor (usually 2x or 3x) before displaying them to you.
| |
| So for example, if the game originally ran at a resolution of 320x200
| |
| (typical for most of the SCUMM games), then using a filter with a scale
| |
| factor of 2x will effectively yield 640x400 graphics. Likewise a
| |
| 3x filter will give 960x600.
| |
|
| |
|
| ScummVM uses the following graphic filters:

| To select a graphics filter from the command line, use the '-g' option (see [[User Manual/Appendix: Command line options|Command line options]]), e.g.:
| | <gallery caption="1X scalers" widths="65px" heights="70px" perrow="4"> |
| | | Image:MonkeyIsland2_part_Normal.png|Normal (no scaling) |
| <pre>scummvm -gadvmame2x monkey2</pre> | | </gallery> |
| | |
| There is always a speed impact when using any form of anti-aliasing/linear filtering. Filters can be especially slow when ScummVM is compiled in a debug
| |
| configuration without optimizations. For these reasons, not all backends support all (or even any) of the filters listed above;
| |
| some may support additional ones. The filters listed above are those supported by the default SDL backend.
| |
|
| |
|
| ''Note 1'': The final resolution depends on the original resolution of the game you are playing. For example, the FM-TOWNS version of Zak McKracken uses an original resolution of 320x240, hence for this game the final resolution with a scaler will be 640x480 (2x) or 960x720 (3x).
| | <gallery caption="2X scalers" widths="130px" heights="140px" perrow="4"> |
| Likewise, games that were originally 640x480 (such as Curse of Monkey Island or the Broken Sword games) will be scaled to 1280x960 (2x) and 1920x1440 (3x).

| ''Note 2'': When setting a graphic filter in the general ScummVM options it only applies to the games that have a low original resolution (e.g. 320x200 or 320x240). To use a graphic filter with a game that has a higher original resolution (e.g. 640x480) you need to specifically set the graphic filter in the settings for that game.
