You never know what you're able to do until you try.

Harpic fraîcheur, you have a laptop?
If you don't need mobile machine, sell that, buy some PC in this price.

It's not bad idea. You can buy used PC to get better parts. But you can check durability of specific GPU, how many of it damaged is on sale, before buying whole PC used.

Anyway has a widescreen pnach file for Rayman 2: Revolution (NTSC-U)? The game runs really well on my new laptop, but the lack of widescreen is a bit disappointing.
EDIT: Neeeeeeeeeeeever mind, got it solved.

Mine seemed to come with the patch, I just hit the enable widescreen patches, and it pretty much did it.
Failing that, I know Emshomar once did some videos with Revolution running a widescreen patch, I think it was Ribshark who was behind the patch, but I can't remember for sure.

Revolution's graphics look nicer than I remember, I need to get an actual physical copy at some point.

If it weren't for the frame-rate issues and the lower quality textures, I'd say that Revolution would top the lot. Its models are more detailed, and levels benefit from the increased foliage and objects that Revolution has (well, for the most part, see my little
ramble in the R2 thread if you want to know where that goes downhill).

Looking at this image makes me want to have Rayman Revolution HD remastered. It's technically possible I believe, but noone at the higher dogs up there is bothered to do so.

Oho, it looks like PCSX2 now implements these patches, instead of loading them from pnach files. Indeed, I should've gone out of my way to get the file, it works with the setting. Awesome. Time to tackle the best version of Rayman 2, the best way possible!
Got Rayman 3 (GameCube) working properly as well.
I think I'm ready to re-experience some classics.

Hmm, there doesn't appear to be any shadows in your R3 GCN snapshot.

Now that you mention it, yeah. The water in that area was also lacking reflection when I stepped on it and was super low res. Wonder what's causing that.
and fixed. OpenGL instead of Direct3D.

It was a joke.

I'm sure that Adsolution will buy it on eBay or anything like that.

I was about to mention that. It is a shame that the textures are (unexplainably) low-quality or else RR would definitely be the R2 version with better graphical presentation.

Unfortunately Rayman Revolution runs on the Renderware engine, which is no longer updated or supported by Criterion. They'd have to create or use a new engine, which would be more work than just porting bog-standard Rayman 2.

Couldn't you just insert the Dreamcast/PC textures into Revolution with the proper tools, though?
