Noticed bug 3034973 was closed a moment ago.

I believe the bug should be reopened or the comments re-enabled because I just tested the implementation of the magnifier cursor with Laura Bow 2 and it isn't working very well.

Game : Laura Bow 2 (Laura Bow and the Dagger of Amon Ra) Game Version : Floppy/Dos/English 1.000 ScummVM Version : 1.2.0Svn52559 OS : Windows 7 x64 Problems : As of build 52559 the game is now completable. Bugs still open: 3050596 , 3050588 , 3050318 , 3048213 , 3041738 , 3041257 , 3039566 .

That's a good point, hadn't thought of that.

I understand this is now as low priority as it gets, but still there is a point, the scalers can't possibly do a better job out of a 320*200 sample than a vector recalculation... can they?

Does that mean it's been officially discarded? I only played Space Quest 3 using this feature but it was quite the experience to witness an untouched 1989 game running in hi-res. Even if buggy it would be nice to still have it as an option just to explore.

FreeSCI had a great feature which allowed for old SCI games with vector graphics backgrounds, like space quest 3, to scale up with no pixelization at all. The feature seems to be gone, do you plan on getting it into the GUI controls? Is it accessible through command-line?

Oh so the problem is with the mule? Ok thanks I'll try.
