Issues fixed

Game appears stretched horizontally

Fix incorrect aspect ratio Many ScummVM games are designed to run at 320x200 or 640x400, but with a 4:3 aspect ratio. To set this, enable Aspect ratio correction in the Graphics tab of the game's options. This is likely to cause unevenly sized pixels. See Some pixels are taller than others. This option is not available (nor necessary) for titles that use square pixels.

Some pixels are taller than others

This is usually caused by aspect ratio correction, but can also be caused by the image not being displayed at a pixel-perfect resolution.

Enable filter graphics Open the ScummVM launcher and edit the game's options. Under the Graphics tab, check Filter graphics. Click OK. This will result in a slightly blurrier picture. For optimal results, use in conjunction with a scaler such as 3x.
