Comment (by athrxx):
So, should we just have an option for the SCI1 Windows targets not to do
the ugly upscale?
For the other (non-KQ6) games this can already be achieved easily by
setting the platform to DOS instead of Windows. But that will block the
access to the Windows 16 colors mode. So even there it might be nice to
have such an option.
For KQ6, in hires mode, it would change the proportions between the hi-res
content and the background. I have never tested that concept, so I don't
know if it would work (it probably would). But it might be less disturbing
for some users than having the upscale artifact.
