I suppose so, I remember my friend had it and I never liked it much. It used to show you the unlockable characters in the race, even before you unlocked them which I thought was pretty stupid.

Wow that's weird... No idea why they did that, and jumped back a console? Seems odd to me..
They probably thought it would sell better since more people had PS1 back in a day.

That's a possibility! I can't imagine it was a very common thing though for game makers to do!

This old game has always mystified me. Always got the feeling it was hiding something. Nonetheless I kinda miss it. I have the GC version, but the PS2 and PC versions are better in my opinion, gameplay-wise.

A computer with at least a Core 2 Duo and a good graphic card can run Rayman M in the PS2 emulator with perfection.

Yeah. PS2 Emulator is not that demanding.
Dolphin is the Emulator that is giving me pain with speed.

Relatively speaking, one that isn't from 2002.

Of course, but I would say a good one from at least of the year of 2007.

Is it just me or does Rayman M seriously bollocks up your eyes?

How so? Looking at footage of it, it seems A-Ok to me, but I'll admit my eyes aren't all that sensitive.

I find if I play that game, (especially the fighting mode) I'll have buggered up my eyes within the hour. Or less! I think it's to do with constantly changing where you're looking and locking onto all different things and directions

Hm, the constant motion and turns get to you, do they?
I've not played Rayman M, so I can't really relate or compare any personal experience to yours, but this does sound curious.

Well it's weird, I used to be fine playing this game as a kid. My eyes haven't got any worse, they've always been pretty good. I've never needed glasses. I don't know what it is, I can only imagine it's the constant change of direction and refocusing on things

Ehh, I've seen worse reasons for bumping.

It was part of the tidying up process for the Rayman forums section, this topic ended up destickied because it was barely active (it's been over a month since you bumped), and probably because it's also an old spin-off that hasn't had any recent new things that would warrant new discussion.

I think I can run it? I can run PS2 Rayman 3 at 60 fps easily, and I have an i7 3770 3.4GHz

You don't have a PS2 but you bought games for it? Oh well you might be able to find one cheap.

Well, correct me if I'm wrong, but can't the PS2 emulator play games from a PS2 disc?
