I apologize if this has been asked many times before; I skimmed some of the other threads, but with GOG's subpar search engine, the info I seek is kind of hard to find. Would be really helpful if there was a sticky about it.
1. I've seen advice to open UW.CFG in UNDEROM1/DATA and change "6 -1 -1 -1 sound" to "4 -1 -1 -1 sound", and indeed, it seems to sound better, but it also switches from voiceovers to subtitles. So what does this actually mean? Do these numbers stand for different versions, like CD version vs. disk version or something?
(1a. N00b question: Saving the UW.CFG with the text editor after modifying it removes line breaks. Is there any way to prevent that?)
2. Is it possible to have voices and subtitles or just either or?
3. The subtitles are flickering in animated scenes. Is this normal, unavoidable DOSBOX behaviour?
4. What was the original look of UU on the old 4:3 monitors? I've seen two different looks in DOSBOX, but weirdly enough, the one that apparently uses a 4:3 resolution with black bars on the side looks more distorted than the one that fills my whole 16:10 screen and should therefor be stretched compared to the original (see attached images). Which is the more authenthic look? Should the inventory slots be circles or ellipses? And if circles, how come it fits the modern 16:10 so suspiciously well?
