 I don't know if I'm alone with this feeling but I find it very hard to
 determine what renderer/scaler/audio engine/emulation etc is a particular
 game actually using.

 Firstly, I can override the audio to MT-32 globally. But what if a game
 doesn't support MT-32? I presume it turns into its own <default> however I
 can't know that because there is absolutely no indication (not even in the
 log) that the game switched to/kept in some other mode.

 And secondly, even if do override the setting, I still don't know which of
 the settings is <default> for the given game. The only way I know is to
 try all of them and see what changed (usually nothing as there isn't a
 game which supports all audio/video options).

 As a bonus one, I'd love to have only *usable* options available, for
 instance if Hercules/EGA/CGA is not supported by given game, why show it
 there?

 So, ideally, the combo box would look like this:

 VGA (default) <--- set by default (can be shaded out if the override
 checkbox is not checked but it would mean that if the global setting is
 n/a, this one will be used)
 EGA           <--- shown because it is supported
 CGA           <--- ditto
 (nothing else here)
