[RIPPING] 2D Rayman Sprites and Backgrounds

I'll do that tomorrow, when I've pieced everything together. ;)
I haven't been able to rip the sprites though, because I can't find the right palette.

There's nothing new though ( nothing that isn't in the memory ), except an extra background, which I'll post tomorrow. So is it okay if I only post the new background and keep the sprites I ripped from the memory?
 
Okay, then here are the full versions of both backgrounds.

And the new background...

Of course it is, that's why it is a NEW and UNKNOWN background. XD

I just managed to find the palettes for the sprites, by the way. I'll probably post a sprite sheet soon. Not that it is any different from the one I posted before. :P

Oh, and I found this text in the BETA demo folder:
///RayMan 2 PlayStation/version:01.12d/date:31 mai 1996/gravure:Vincent Greco/demande:equipe RM2 Sony/destinataire:equipe RM2 Sony/usage perso/derniere version/
Click to expand...

"Demande: Equipe RM2 Sony" probably means that the Playstation ( SONY ) RayMan 2 ( RM2 ) team ( equipe ) wanted the prototype to use it in their game.
"Destinataire" is the team who the prototype went to: the same the Playstation ( SONY ) RayMan 2 ( RM2 ) team ( equipe ).
"Gravure" means "Writing", so Vincent Greco is probably the one who wrote version 01.12d of the prototype on a CD on May 31st, 1996.

... We need to find Vincent Greco. :P

EDIT -> More info about him! He's a Development Studio Manager/Development Supervisor. He's credited in all Rayman games except Rayman 1, it seems.

Whoa, awesome find Droolie!
 
I noticed the Vincent Greco thing in there as well! :mrgreen:

So...

...Destinataire have the beta. We must infiltrate their HQ and retrieve it.

...wait...I thought the developers of R2 PS1 were Japanese or something...
 
You just deleted your old post and posted the same thing again to bump this topic, didn't you? XD
I'll try to work on this a little more later today. ;)
 
Okay...

*waits for three days*

...anyway. I thought of something. Those images that Drolpiraat ripped: they all have names. For example, the picture of Tarayzan is called "VIG_TRZ". Obviously, the "VIG" stands for "vignette", which is French for a small picture, and the "TRZ" stands for "Tarayzan". Therefore, "VIG_TRZ" = "A small picture of Tarayzan". The picture of the ending is called "VIG_END", and "END" is obviously short for "ending", so that is "A small picture of the ending". And the picture of Joe is called "VIG_JOE", obviously short for, well, "A small picture of Joe".

But now, something interesting: the picture of Mister Dark grabbing Betilla is called "VIG_RAP"...could it be short for "rape"?
 
ROFL, I actually thought of that myself when I ripped the pics. :P
Who knows, but if it isn't that, it's still derived from the same word in Latin: "rapere" ( to kidnap ). ;)

Hmm, maybe I'll rip some Candy Chateau backgrounds today? ;)
 
I'm not sure if they would use Latin for their abbreviations :?


It's good to see that you haven't been abducted by aliens, though :mrgreen: which is what I assumed must have happened after the second day...
 
No, in fact, I'm at home for a few days now, because of some strange illness I've got. XD
And I meant that the word that starts with "RAP-" in French must be derived from that word in Latin. Of course they don't use Latin in their abbreviations.

EDIT -> Aren't you surprised now? I've put together all 3 Candy Chateau backgrounds in less than an hour and a half! ^^
