    Is there any crack to get all the scenery in my Data Folder into a park. OR, is there a way to get it(scrwing with files and what not). Any help would be more then welcome....

    The answer is no. Never has. Never will. That scenery limit is hardcoded into the game, so a patch would more than likely not be able to fix it.

    Haven't you wondered why it's always a multiple of 256? It's where 8-digit (a byte) binary ends (11111111, technically 255, but zero is counted, as well) and 2-digit hexidecimal (FF, again 255) end. In the save game, that means that one peice of scenery is saved in each of the 256 slots. Basically, you can't save data where there's no space to put it, so you can't exactly add onto it with more peices But if you find a way to somehow fit more numbers into the number system, let me know...

    to do what you're talking about you would probably have to know exactly how the game was programed so you could hack in and modify the game and even if you did know how they programed it the task would still be pretty risky and painstakingly hard because if you made one mistake you could wiped all your files by accidentally corrupting the program. If you didn't know exactly what you were doing you might corrupt it in a way that you couldn't uninstall the game or run. Even if that's not possible i suggest you don't try it unless you have a backup of all your files and know what you are doing. not to be ominous or anything :D

    Well it's the game's engine that determents the limits. RCT2 runs on an updated RCT1 engine. However because that engine is quite old, it's hard to improve and it has certain limits in handling all data. If they wanted to have better limits they would have to rewrite the whole engine which is very time consuming. I sometimes experience a some choppyness in RCT2 and I'm running on a 3GHz with 1GB RAM. This hasn't anything to do with my system, but with the inefficiency of the engine.
