==Widescreen resolutions==
Out of the box, Rollercoaster Tycoon limits itself to 1024x768, however the game can be edited to run in much higher resolutions, at different aspect ratios. The game will be not stretched either, it will simply look expanded (see screenshot).

===Creating a custom resolution===
*''Before modifying RCT.exe file, make a backup copy first!''
Line 156 ⟶ 157:
Another example: 800 (decimal) -> 320 (hex) -> 03 20 <sup>(two bytes)</sup> -> 20 03<sup> (reverse order of bytes)</sup>, which is the width value to be changed from the 800x600 resolution.
===Even Higher Resolutions with Window Mode===
While the above method increases the resolution a bit, it's still nowhere near modern standards. To complicate the matter, when Rollercoaster Tycoon is downloaded from GOG, Steam, or similar game stores, the updated game will not have ''t''''he hex values may not be present to edit at all!'' Forunately, a youtube user has [http://youtu.be/nmeILc26TfE dug deep into the EXE] and discovered that it's possible to use higher resolutions than 1280x1024 if you play the game in Windowed mode (theoretically 32775 x 14340 limit). They have edited the exe and uploaded versions compatible with the original retail release the GOG release, and the Steam release: [https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B9BsZuyetpw7SUlGQVlaaVhOUjg download link]. Place the EXE in the Rollercoaster Tycoon directory and run it.'''
