I might be totally off on how this works though.
The videos are encoded so half the pixels are missing. When they are played normally, the game stretches them to fix the screen. However, the game can't stretch them more than double their width, so they turn black. I just made the videos slightly wider, which causes them to stretch correctly.

The game itself stores the GUI scaling value as a float at 0x1A9EAC in the executable. The default is 0.75, and the correct value is screen height/screen width. However, if the correct value is used, the game decides to stretch everything, so you have to make the float slightly (~0.00001) larger than would be correct.

I have DirectX 10 and it works so it is not true that it won't work above DirectX 8. You also get DirectX 8 with Rayman 3 disc so just reinstall it but with DirectX 11, there should be all important files on PC included anyways.

You'll just edit 1024 x 768 in the desired resolution

AND YOU CAN DO IT FOR R2 TOO /!\
