RollerCoaster Tycoon: Difference between revisions

==Widescreen Resolutions==

With a bit of editing, it is possible to run the game in higher resolutions than 1024x768, including widescreen resolutions. The result will not be stretched, but instead look just fine (see screenshot).

=== Creating a Custom Resolution===

If you want to play RollerCoaster Tycoon in a widescreen resolution, you will need to edit the RCT.exe with a Hex Editor [http://www.hhdsoftware.com/free-hex-editor] (create a backup first!). You need to search for these two hex values: "58 02 00 00 68 20 03 00 00" and "20 03 00 00 c7 45 f4 58 02 00 00". In both of them you have to change 20 03 to the new width and 58 02 to the new height. In the game, you need to switch to Fullscreen 800x600 in the options menu, as that is the resolution you customized with this method.

===Working Resolutions===

* 1280 x 720 (16:9): Change 20 03 to 00 05, 58 02 to d0 02.

* 1280 x 768 (16:10): Change 20 03 to 00 05, 58 02 to 00 03.

* 1280 x 1024 (5:4): Change 20 03 to 00 05, 58 02 to 00 04.

Higher resolutions won't work, though lower resolutions should be possible.
