Well, that's subjective. I wish you guys would have disabled it by default or at least made the undither option a little more accessible than going into the console all the time. For those of us that want the original dithered graphics in all their glory it's a bit of a nuisance to have to keep disabling the function through the console every time you start an SCI0 game. I keep having to compile my own builds with it disabled by default. Not a huge issue, but it is a bit of an annoyance.
You don't have to go to console everytime.
Just go into scummvm.ini and add sci_undither=false in [scummvm] section. In this case all sci games won't get undithered. You may also add it per game section.

This is all good info which I was searching for in vain yesterday in the news post, the release notes, the README and the wiki. Finally I found out about the console command on the forums. The mentioned ini setting undither didn't seem to work anymore, though. So yeah, I'm glad I know now but it didn't have to be that hard. ;)

Indeed, good to know. Should be documented better. I guess that's why ScummVM needs a good manual, though.

If you're talking about doing so on the PPC port I'm not exactly sure, you'd be better off asking in that subforum. However, I know it is possible to do in normal Windows.

To do so, you simply append the target for the game you want to run to the end of a shortcut to ScummVM. For example, if I wanted to run Discworld directly from a shortcut, I would make a shortcut that had: "[dirs]/scummvm.exe dw", since "dw" is the default target for the game.

To see a full list of targets for the games you've added, use the command prompt and enter "scummvm.exe -t", or check the individual game under the "Edit Game" dialogue in the main program.
