Hello, this is my first post in this forum .

I have a problem with Wii version of Scummvm. When using 240p unfiltered "double strike" mode on a crt, there is always some scaling enabled. How should I precisely set the horizontal and vertical underscan to disable scaling at all and get 1:1 pixel mapping?
Right now I always end up with more or less line doubling / line cutting - which looks terrible and defeats the whole purpose of playing on a crt television.
Is there any "secret" setting or maybe an exact underscan value?

   

What are your exact graphics settings in scummvm and in the ini file.
Just to be clear, you are getting scanlines with less flicker but the output is being scaled and fuzzier.

   

I'm using version 1.9.0.

Options:
graphics mode: double-strike
render mode: <default> (changing this doesn't help)
aspect ratio correction on (changing to off gives me squashed picture)
fullscreen mode on
horizontal and vertical underscan at default (changing to minimum or maximum doesn't help)

Double strike mode starts correctly - I'm getting low res picture with visible scanlines.

The image should look like this - every pixel is displayed once.
PC version of Scummvm displays it correctly at "1x" setting.
No duplication, no line cutting:


Instead, it looks like one of the following cases.

With underscan set to higher values, some lines are duplicated:



With underscan set to lower values, some lines are cut:


Default underscan setting (slider at the middle) gives me some line duplication - it is no equivalent of "no scaling" option.

Setting the graphics mode to "double strike - filtered" eliminates line doubling / cutting, but the whole picture is blurry - it looks completely different than the pixel perfect artwork designed for low res tv screens.

My ini file looks like this:

Download the above version and try it again. The nightly and and 1.9 versions from the bot are still using very old (2012) versions of the libraries. The above version by AReim1982 is updated with the latest versions.

   

I've tested this version, trying to change aspect ratio, full screen, screen mode...
The problem is identical to the previous version - no improvement.
There is always some horizontal and vertical scaling.
