RollerCoaster Tycoon: Difference between revisions

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.

''RollerCoaster Tycoon'', being made in 1999, is still somewhat compatible with Windows Vista/7. However, crashes, freezes and strange color changes are common. To fix this, players should check 'Disable visual themes', 'Disable desktop composition', and 'Run this program as Administrator'. Running RollerCoaster Tycoon in 98/Me compatiblitycompatibility mode on a Windows 7 PC results in the game crashing when trying to load files, however, this compatibility problem got fix with the GOG version.

A common complaint was the lack of a scenario editor or a free build mode. Several trainers were released, but the expansions included an anti-cheat code that disabled them. Sawyer's belief that RCT was a game, and that as such, should include rules, goals, and conditions to keep it from becoming just a design tool[http://www.rctstationarchive.com/knowledgebase/scenariomaking.shtml]; this is likely why there are no money codes included. [[RollerCoaster Tycoon 2]] later added the scenario editor.

''RollerCoaster Tycoon'' was released for the Xbox console in 2003, which included all the options, scenarios and rides from the original PC release and its expansion packs. The Xbox release received mixed reviews, mostly because it didn't differ much from the PC original, despite being released 4 years after its PC counterpart. Other criticism came from the controls, which were difficult because of the joysticks usage  (left stick to control the mouse cursor, right onestick forto control the camera) and unable to be modified, and the absence of compatibility to a mouse-like accessory which, were it developpeddeveloped, could have rendered the game much easier to handle and even perhaps open the way for other PC game ports.
