- Installation -
To install, simply copy and paste the FishBin, MenuBin, and TribeBin folders to where your location of Rayman Arena is located.
Once that is done, open up Rayman Control Panel.
Be sure that RCP found your copy of Rayman Arena, if not you should tell it's location or install it via disc.
Once it finds your copy, click the drop-down arrow and head into options.
If you have not set the textures to 32-bit, do that now, as it is required for the textures to appear.
Go to Utilities, click Synchronize so the textures will appear as the same size as their originals.
You're done! Click Launch and enjoy your game with high-resolution textures.

If you're wondering why I haven't upscaled the text, it sadly doesn't display correctly when I upscale it.

Welcome SpiffyRuffleroni!

You done incredible work! The upscaled textures are much higher in quality.

Feel free to introduce yourself also.

I love it! Now all I need is to be able to play the game online.

And welcome to this place of course!

Welcome Spiffy!

This is really nice work, I'll be trying this out.

Some day it would be nice to have a few people play Arena online.

Hi! Looks like amazing work. Will it work on Rayman M aswell?

No sadly, but I do plan on porting these textures to Rayman M once I'm done with most of the textures.

Welcome Spiffy!

And yeah this is really great work!

[SpiffyRuffleroni]

Update: Made a version for Rayman M.

Hmm, I just tried it, and the game asked me to insert the CD. I'm guessing I need a no-CD patch to use this?

[deton24]

Most likely. Try to use Rayman Control Panel CD bypass, or widescreen binary from Pcgamingwiki wiki, or Google for by "ADHDerby" [MULTI3] or "2LonlY4You" [ENGLISH].(preserve "")

Or PM RayCarrot for non DRM version, because lot of people have issues with this game's DRM and various versions.

That was quick! Great job.

[Steo]

This makes it even better since I own a physical copy of M. Nice work!

[Alltech]

Indeed, great job!

OK, I realize now what I did wrong. I moved (instead of copying) the Bin folders to backup locations before extracting the new ones, so the CNT files were the only ones there. Should've realized when the RCP said "0/0 textures resynchronized".

Now that I've got it going, and for the record I didn't need a no-CD patch, I have to say the menu looks amazing! I'm not gonna try the levels until I finish Redemption, but I'm already impressed!

Thanks a lot for this Spiffy!!! <3
