The Options menu also includes the Credits, but since those are not required to play and are not directly referenced by the game text, access to that is less important than the tutorial.

The original options menu is intended for controlling volume. As indicated in Discord discussion, the way to have in-game volume controls synchronize with ScummVM volume controls is as follows:

  • Setting volume in ConfMan when the game changes the volume (e.g. using in-game options)
  • Implementing Engine::syncSoundSettings() to pick up changes done from the ScummVM side (e.g. accessing the options dialog from the GMM)

This is done in c54b0457ed6. The original options screen now works with one small caveat that you can't separately control video volume as ScummVM does not have a separate channel for it. I just tied it to sfx volume.

It's possible to enhance it so that the game tracks video volume as a separate option, but I'll do that separately as the main part is done.
