Installing Rayman Arena on Windows 10

My windows 10 version is 1909, my CPU is AMD A4-5300 and my GPU is Nvidia GT 640. My problem is whenever I run the setup it doesn't show up. It show up in my running tasks but I can't actually see it.
 
Which setup are you referring to? The setup program on the disk? You won't get it to work. You need to use Rayman Control Panel to install.

If you are referring to RM_Setup_DX8 - then did you try running it in 98/Me compatibility mode or as administrator?
 
It's the actual setup program on the disc. I used Rayman Control Panel but everytime I start the install it says "55 paths were not found on the specified disc, if the game has more than one disc for installation, please insert the next one." Which I have tried and proceeds to tell me to insert disc 1.

Well, did you try to insert Disc 1 at that point? Maybe after verifying the paths on both CDs, it will install.

If it still does not work, perhaps RayCarrot, the author of Rayman Control Panel, can be of help here.
 
I got it to work, I don't know why it wasn't working before. But once it was installed it still wouldn't open, and from the previous information on this topic I have the SafeDisc version. I just got the iso from RayCarrot. It's a shame so many of these physical copies don't work.
 
I think I just got lucky with my copies of both Rayman 2 and M. Rayman 2 just worked for me on Linux using Wine without an issue, but I had to use Rayman Control Panel to install M.
 
It is known that SafeDisc is a problem because it won't run on Windows 10, but there is no need to get any special ISOs. The protection is embedded strictly in the game EXE, and there are cracked versions around, including the widescreen-patched ones that you can get on PCGamingWiki without going to any "shady" sites. All this was said, and more than once. I wish people paid more attention. :)
 
I wouldn't consider Gamecopyworld as a shady site. It has enormous amounts of trainers as well. Haven't seen any better. Before, megagames was good too.
 
I have no problems with Gamecopyworld myself, and their content is typically 100% legit; however, one cannot deny that it is affiliated with shady sites. Browsing without an adblock (who's doing that these days?!) makes it obvious. :D
 
I guess I didn't really read through all of it. I haven't been on this forum in quite sometime, so I was mostly scrolling through. But I've tried gamecopy world and it looks pretty damn sketchy but I guess I should give it another shot. I never tried PCGaming Wiki though. I'll go ahead and give that a try, cause I do really wanna make this copy work.
 
Hey guys, I'm new around here and I need help with running Rayman Arena on Windows 10. I tried every solution mentioned in this thread, but nothing has solved my issue. I installed the game on a virtual machine and then copied the files to my Windows 10 machine, since the installer won't launch for me on Windows 10. I must have bought the SafeDisc version of the game, because launching the game does nothing. I tried running the game through Rayman Control Panel, but that didn't solve anything. I tried applying a No CD patch from GameCopyWorld, but now a dialog box pops up asking for the CD to be inserted, even though the CD is inserted. I don't see a digital release of this game anywhere, or else I would've bought that instead of the CD release. Can someone help me out? I literally have not played this game since I was kid, or any Rayman game for that matter, and I'd really love to. Thanks!
 
Did you attempt to install it using the installer in Rayman Control Panel instead? I'm not sure if this is going to work with the safedisc version, but it's worth a try. It does work with my copy of M, my copy says Revival on the case.

Rayman Control Panel is also supposed to have an option to patch it which makes it no longer need a CD, but I think with the safedisc version, this checkbox probably disappears.

EDIT: Scrolling down in this tab is where it should say it:

Installing the game through Rayman Control Panel gives me the error, "55 paths were not found on the specified disc." Inserting CD 2 tells me that 99 paths were not found.

EDIT: I also do not have the Disc Check option, so I definitely must have the SafeDisc version of the game. :(

I used Rayman Control Panel to install Rayman Arena (Safedisc version) on Windows 10 and it worked well for me. To run it, I use either the ADHDerby crack or the PCGamingWiki Widescreen fix (both files are 2,281,472 bytes). The game works without asking for CD. Are you absolutely positive you did a full installation? The game folder should be about 1.1GB.
 
ADHDerby is claimed to be for US version of Safedisc.
If PCGamingWiki has the same size binaries of no-DRM binary, then probably it's based on the binary of the same US binary and that's maybe why it doesn't work. There is also another binary available on Gamecopyworld, by 2LonlY4You.
The question is, whether LonelyMarowak checked both. Maybe this one will work.
 
Hey guys, sorry to keep you hanging, but I just tried ADHDerby's No CD Patch and it worked! I thought I tried that one along with the other one on GameCopyWorld, but I guess I didn't. Thanks guys, I appreciate it.

Oh, and yes, I have Arena (North American version), not M. I didn't know the game was called M elsewhere in the world.
 
Yeah it's named M in Europe, and it's nice that you got it to work! :up:
 
Hey :D

I got Rayman Arena to play with my wife, but we found out it has Safedisc. I can't seem to download one of the cracked ones, does anyone know where I can get one we can use with the Rayman Control Panel? Thank you!
 
You can use the one you have with the Rayman Control Panel. Just install it manually using the panel, then get one of the patched executables mentioned above (I think PCGamingWiki should be the best and safest source).
 
I have an issue with launching Arena. I think it's needless to say, that i had to launch the setup. But when i try to do it, it just crashes. How do i fix it? (P.S: I use the fullypcgames version of the game, used a spanish tutorial on how to download this game.)

I even tried using the Control Panel RayCarrot made, still the game didn't worked. Although, when i tried to download Arena today, instead of this game, i got Rayman M, and somehow, it did worked. But i wanted to play with my friends through Radmin and i needed Arena.
