Rayman M-Arena

[TeensieKing]

As RayFan said,I asked both things,and thank you both.Still I don't see why doesn't it become legal.Ubisoft won't get the money anyways...

Incidentally,I can't find RM in thepiratebay.org xD

PS: Is "incidentally" an unused word? I've NEVER seen anyone saying that,but I use it so I don't repeat "by the way" all the time

[Adsolution]

Incidentally is a 'fairly' commonly used word actually.

Also just download Rayman Arena, it's virtually the same thing.

They may wish to re-release or remake Rayman M at some point in the future – the same goes for practically every game. Making them all free for everyone would not exactly help potential sales.

I "installed" RM on W7-64 by literally copying both discs to a single folder. It works (though R2-like resolution hack does not). However my Windows 7 is quite stable for a PC... I believe.

I tried installing like that but every time I tried to run the game it said 'please run the DX8 setup'

Have you done that?
If not, navigate to the install folder there should be an executable for DX setup.

Wouldn't that like totally conflict with DX10 though?

Not at all. The DX8 setup application is merely the graphical configuration settings for the game.

Oh that one. I've treid it multiple times and it still says 'please run the DX8 setup' >.<

I'll go install Rayman Arena tonight to see if I can help you further.

I figured it out, I tried heaps of stuff and was about to give up, right clicked and selected 'Run As Admin' and it started up fine :O

Ah, that's always a solution that sometimes works.

OK so I had to download an ISO of Rayman M from isohunt but while it works the install is in Polish...it can be set back to English, right?

Depends, can other versions of it switch languages?

I'm afraid not, at least not by normal means. Still RM isn't exactly a text-heavy game. If you happen to continue playing on Polish version, tell me are there any rectangles in name of 1000 Waterfalls.

The online mode should be brought again. I want to battle against RPC players.

Wasn't that exclusive to one of the versions? (M or Arena)
And it used a modified LAN mode?

[stan423321]

I suppose it was Arena exclusive.

Okay people,
After ( too ) much tries, we ( me and pok2, we did the online test! ) can finally say to you: "WE HAVE RAYMAN ARENA WORKING ONLINE!!!" lol. Yes, it's true. Via Hamachi.
What you need to do is:

1. Installing:
Download & Install Hamachi: http://files.hamachi.cc/priv/HamachiSet ... .56-en.exe

2. Connecting:
Open the Hamachi program, and click teh connect button.
If you're the SESSION MAKER, click the 'networking menu' button ( sorry, you'll have to search for this one, but there are only 2 buttons, so... ) and click Create new network. Make a Name and a password for the network, then let other people join with the following instructions.
If you're the SESSION JOINER, just click the 'networking menu' button, and click 'Join existing network'. Type the name and password you recieved from the session maker, and click OK. Now you can see all other people who joined the network.

3. A VERY IMPORTANT STEP:
Go to Network connections in your windows configuration panel. ( If you don't know how, Start-> Run -> ncpa.cpl )
Close your internet connection ( not hamachi, keep that running, but just close your internet connection. ), then run Rayman Arena.

4. Rayman Arena Trick – IMPORTANT!
First I'm gonna give instructions for the SESSION MAKER:
Now Rayman Arena is started, open the LAN game.
Type your name, and click confirm ( or whatever ).
Click Create. You won't see any games open. It's very normal. Type your session name. Choose your character & map. Click confirm.
DO NOT CLICK CREATE YET!!! IT'S VERY IMPORTANT!
Now go back to your desktop, leaving rayman arena on. ( Alt+Tab is your friend! )
Then Re-open your internet connection. Be sure to wait until Hamachi is reconnected.
Now open your Rayman Arena, and click Create. Server should be successfully created!!!
Now wait for some session joiner(s) to join, and click start, ( or whatever it is ), and prepare for a very smooth game!

If you're a SESSION JOINER and the SESSION MAKER already created the server, open LAN game menu, type your name, click confirm. You’ll not see any games running. Normal.
Now go back to your desktop, leaving rayman arena on. ( Alt+Tab is your friend! )
Then Re-open your internet connection. Be sure to wait until Hamachi is reconnected.
Now open Rayman Arena ( DO NOT CLICK REFRESH! ), and what do you see? Tadaaa! There’s your server you should join! Select it and click join, and prepare for a very smooth game!

That's it!

Also, if you're using firewalls, be sure to disable them for the Hamachi connection

Pok2 and I had a very smooth game. He was Razorwife and I was rayman. He chose First Ruins as map. And I beated him! He arrived 2 seconds after me. The game was as I said, very smooth. No problems at all!

Also, I'll edit this post when pok2 finds a way to make this thing less difficult.

And... who wants to play?

Please notice, this method is only for people who have Rayman Arena, not Rayman M. Also, each time you want to play, you'll have to do the steps starting from step 3! Have fun!
It doesn't work for Rayman M, because it hasn't got any LAN option.
Also make sure in your Rayman Arena options your connection is set to: Local Area Network.

Droolie.

Topic Merging has been done, topic is now on both Rayman M/Arena. ~ Hoodcom

I want the online back.

[Master]

I suppose it was Arena exclusive.

Judging the quote in Haruka's post, it is.
So what happened to it? Is it currently inaccessible?

[Haruka]

I never tried using Hamachi, and since the file in the link is outdated, I believe the tutorial had to be rewritted.

[Shrooblord]

Hmm... Droolie? Back to work!

[stan423321]

Honestly Hamachi has even got replacements nowadays. The main idea (make a fake LAN) remains the same.
