"In the early days, OpenRCT2 used the original RCT2 executable for running certain parts of the game. This has been completely removed and OpenRCT2 only runs on OpenRCT2 code. Replacement graphics and sounds are being made, but the process is still very slow, as it is a very difficult job. The biggest problem is that the replacement graphics must look similar to the original graphics because of the custom content that should work with both the original and replacement graphics, a problem that OpenTTD did not have.\n \n\n\n\tIn short, there are plans to become completely independent from RCT2, but with the option to use original assets.\n \n"
