Comment (by TrivialBalderdash):

 I found a few items to bring up.
 1) Inventory items are added to the inventory screen in the case book even
 if they aren't acquired.  In the game, when Marlowe looks at an item, the
 game usually asks "Should I take it, or leave it for the police?"  If you
 decide not to take the item, it still shows up in the inventory list. It
 does not show in your inventory (cabinet in office). The original
 executable doesn't add the item to the inventory list unless Marlowe
 decides to take the item.
 2) In the original version of the game, the locations on the "Places I've
 Been" page of the Casebook are shown in the order visited. This convention
 isn't followed in ScummVM.
 3) The font is not aligned the same way on the "Places I've Been" page of
 the Casebook.  This causes "Delores Gonzales' Apartment" to run off the
 right side of the page (see screenshot). In the original version, the text
 is further left, the first line is higher on the page, and the lines are
 spaced out more. The screenshot shows both versions overlaid, with the
 original faded.
 4) Not necessarily part of the casebook, but the grey folder on the same
 screen shows a dossier on the people Marlowe has met or knows. The game
 starts with some files on detectives and law enforcement officers and adds
 pages as new people are met. There is a bug in ScummVM where some pages
 are repeated (Steelgrave, for one).  Note: In one case, a person is met
 who is using an alias. When you learn more about that character, they get
 a second page with their real identity - this is expected behavior.
 5) When flipping pages in the dossier, there should be the audio of papers
 shuffling (a few different sound effects are used). These sounds are not
 present in ScummVM.
 6) On the dossier pages, in the original version of the game, the lower
 left arrow (to go back) isn't present on the 1st page.  The upper right
 arrow (to go forward) isn't present on the last page. Both arrows are
 present on all pages. (see screenshot) (ok, this is incredibly trivial and
 I only mention it since I had other items for the dossier pages...)
