Settings questions
I have tried to experiment with some game settings, but I saw no observable difference, plus I found no relevant information online, so I ask here.
In some AGI games there is the option to "Use Hercules hires font". What exactly is this? I have tried a game with and without this option checked and I saw no difference.
Where the "render mode" options are valid? I see they are the same for every game, but only in specific games they have an effect. Eg. the Hercules and CGA settings have an effect only with early games, like AGI. However, if I run the SoMI (PC VGA version) with EGA or Amiga options, it won't feel like I am playing the EGA or Amiga version (actually, no change at all).

The Amiga option is for 16 color games only and will render them with a slightly different palette. Most notably with a brighter skin color.
On the original Monkey Island VGA version played on DOS, the EGA option would convert the graphics to 640x200, 16 colors in realtime. Not sure if this is supported by ScummVM.

AfaIk, the EGA was the original and the VGA version was the redesign. The Amiga and Sega CD versions are a hybrid of both, using the EGA sprites and a color reduced version of the VGA backgrounds.

I see. In any way, they were separate releases.
Is there any information about the "Hercules font" option for the AGI games?
