Rayman Demos and Betas

Thanks.

That 32x magazine scan (if that's what it is) is kind of interesting. It shows a screenshot of a situation which doesn't appear in the game. I wonder if the 32x version was going to have a bunch of slightly redesigned levels like that...

Whatever happened to that R1 Jag poster that was sold on eBay? No scans anywhere?
 
The winner was probably some guy that collects any game thing ever. :(

I wonder about that too, and the 3D0 version [lol who had one of those]. I definitely know that the 32X used the same sound chip as its older counterpart the Megadrive, so the music would sound completely different even from the Jaguar version. Not sure about the colour though. The only 32X games I've ever played were Doom and Knuckles Chaotix so I can hardly judge for myself.
 
In case of graphics... it contained a 8-bit palette mode, I think, and 16-bit mode. I think, however, that sprites would be smaller.

But in case of sound... I wonder how would it work.
3DO

...?!?! :?: :!: :?: :!:
 
3DO was a console that was way ahead of its time and failed in a similar manner to the Dreamcast, I believe.
 
I know there was something called this way (and DC, compared to this, was a huge success - I'd better compare it to Jaguar), but Rayman for it?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!??!?!??!?!?!?!??!?!??!?
 
For all your educative needs.

As great a console as the Dreamcast was [apart from its internet feature which was shite], it wasn't that successful and just crashed and burned like the Saturn did. Why else did you think it was discontinued after a short time compared to say the PS1?

Well, Saturn crashed earlier, I think. And you can't buy it on eBay so easy. DC wasn' a success sompared to PS1, but... it wasn't so bad.
 
DC had a larger number of autumn games that the PS1 in comparison to its total number of games. But the PS1 overall had more autumn games.

They didn't use the same sound chip. The Mega Drive used a TI 7xxxx chip ( i don't recall the exact name ) while the 32X had a Stereo PCM chip. I wouldn't know if the 32X's Stereo PCM chip could do more then the Mega Drive's TI 7xxxx chip. I wasn't around back in those days.

The Dreamcast failed mainly because it was to late. Sega wanted to recover from the damage the PS1 had done. And then the PlayStation 2 already came around. Sega wasn't prepared for the PS2 so they gave up. Although there we some great games on the Dreamcast. Rayman 2, Sonic Adventure 1 and 2...
 
Where exactly can I download the Nova beta? I have searched for quite a while, but it doesn't seem to be anywhere.

They look awesome anyway. I guess they didn't even make it to the first beta version. :(
 
From so many shows and news that surrounded the Dreamcast and its history though, I actually can't believe they discontinued it based on the success of the PS2 - especially when Nintendo would have its GameCube with even less capability than the DC later on.

What package?
 
NEN.DES
PARCHEM.ETA

but i think you will not find them with the spritefinder......i used behaviour 235 and get them through changeing the hitpoints.
But most stuff you find with this methode is rextemly mashed up and will not stray if you release the right mouse button
(i found so also the book and some numebers in DIV.DES but it also dissapears directly)

Do you mean you got to see them (even just for a split second) in Designer? It would be great to have a better quality screenshot of them. Is there a name associated with them, by the way?
