[How do I extract RCT1 files to OpenRCT2?]

It seems you have the RCT1 scenarios twice, then:
1. The screenshot shows recreations (made for people who don’t own RCT1)
2. You bought RCT1 on Steam.

Using a real RCT1 is always better, because it gives you much more than just scenarios. You will need to link RCT1. You can do that as follows:

1. Open the Options window (see the top right of the title screen)
2. Go to the “Advanced” tab (the one with the spanner)
3. At the bottom, there is an option to set the RCT1 path. Click it.
4. Now navigate to the path where Steam put the RCT1 files. By default, this is

   
   C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Rollercoaster Tycoon Deluxe

5. The game should now ask you to restart the game. Do this.

Now you should have access to RCT1 scenarios, land types and opaque water.

It finally worked! Thank you so much. Excited about the newest update too so I'm glad I can jump in just at the right moment it seems.

The RCT1 files are meant for the RCT1 game, which you do not have. Since you only have scenarios, simply put them in your OpenRCT2 scenario folder.

Could you tell me how I do this? Or show me with some pictures? I don't know where to find the OpenRCT2 scenario folder. My laptop uses winRAR so maybe this is why. Also, I bought the RCT1 game through Stream so if that makes it any easier just let me know. I'm really bad with computers

Hi, I have tried to extract RCT1 scenarios to OpenRCT2. I downloaded all re-made scenarios, saved the map under my downloads and then tried to convert them into OpenRCT2. When I press "OK" it tells me there are no RCT1 files in the map. So what should I do or what am I doing wrong?

OK, now you are running OpenRCT2. The folder you need to select is the one where vanilla RCT2 is installed - since you're on Windows, it's probably somewhere in C://Program Files and will most likely be called "Roller Coaster Tycoon 2". You should see the rct2.exe executable (which is not used), and the subfolders "Data" and "ObjData". Searching for these files may help you find the folder.

Could you maybe add some pictures as in a little tutorial? I have no idea where to find these. Also, should I buy the game online in order to be able to play?

This translates freely to:

"OpenRCT2 needs files of a RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 installation. Select the folder in which the files of RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 are present"

Which folder? Where to find this folder?

OpenRCT2 does not ask for the CD, it asks for the path where RCT2 is installed. It looks like you are running vanilla RCT2 and not OpenRCT2.

OK thanks, how can I run OpenRCT2 instead of vanilla RCT2? I did not recognise any difference

Edit: I think I have been asked for the path before, but I couldn't find it.

It's in the left above. I do now realise they may be asking for the cd but I can't put it in my laptop. Are there any other ways to get it to work without using the cd?

Hi everyone, I am using a 2017 laptop which doesn't let me play with my old cd-rom anymore. So I found downloading the game to be an excellent solution to this problem. However, I stumbled upon another problem: I just can't get the game to play. I have downloaded several things multiple times but I just don't get in the game. I'm very noob-ish with anything related to computers, downloading and so on. It's just not in my nature and never has been. Being non-native English doesn't help much by understanding the guides which don't really tackle my problem either.

In the beginning if I opened the download it asked me to select a folder for the files but I just couldn't find the folder anywhere. So after looking around on the web I saw advices to download the launcher which I did. Now I am supposed to fill in a certain code but I have no idea where to find this code either - please have a look at the attached file. I am assuming once I get this code right I could get the game started? 

Could anyone be so kind to just try and explain as easily and understandable as possible? I have been trying to get it to work for hours and I just don't know how and it's driving me a bit helpless. Thanks in advance!
