Maybe for a Metal Gear Solid fan.
EDIT -> AWESOME! The first file that I open, and there's a 2 minutes and 45 seconds long wav file inside!
It's Voxware, and I know I once opened such a file, but I don't remember how to get it to work...

EDIT 2 -> Sadly, it's not true. Extractor must've made a mistake.

It would be so cool if Rayman was able to jump in RRR! B)

True.
I've looked into the files further, and it seems that there is a CHEAT MENU. Several pieces of text point to this, for example:
"PLAY OPTIONS BONUS CHEAT CREDITS ADDITIONAL LANGUAGES" "You appear to have used cheat codes. The scores cannot be validated. To record your scores, reload your profile and stop cheating!" "Save - Options - Quit Game - Resume - Cheat". I've also found the same pieces of text in French and other languages. ^^
This is why I'm going to reinstall the game and look for a way to access the cheat menu...
EDIT -> CheatCat, can you please take a look at RRR again and look for a cheat menu? It's probably located in 2 different places: the game's main menu ( probably in the BONUS menu ), and maybe the game's pause menu. I'm almost certain about the main menu though.

All I can do is cheating with Cheat Engine... I feel weak and my powers has disappeared..

"I think this might be the end..."
"No! Not the end! Globox bring good gift from Ly!"
"Huh? Ly? Ly, the fairy?"
Anyway, isn't there a way you could see if there are any hidden menu functions? With Cheat Engine maybe?

Well, I don't know how to call functions in Cheat Engine.. But if there is a sort of address that I can turn on to display the cheat menu maybe I can find it somehow... But the question is how...
I have an idea! When you switch between the menus maybe a address changes: Like 1 for the main menu, 2 for the control menu, 3 for the gameplay menu and so on. I will try to find it out and if a find a "menu address" I maybe can change it so it display the cheat menu!
The Admin at Cheat Engine's forum have accepted my as member. Maybe I should ask them if they have any suggestions.
I really need a silverlum, I feel so powerless..

Great, please try your idea.

Meanwhile, I'll try to use King Kong's code to access the cheat menu on the PS2 version ( there is no code for PC ).
EDIT -> Doesn't work. I'll try something else now.

What did you try? How did it turn out?
Sorry for the stupid questions but I don't want this to die.

Yeah, I tried using Cheat Engine to select a hidden menu button ( if there are 5 butons, button 6 ), and I did get the variable that was used to select something in the menu, but it turned out that there was no hidden menu button at all.

Probably, the Cheat Menu button is only created when the cheat menu is unlocked, and not just invisible.

This also intrigues me, I have nothing important to say but from the information you gathered, it helps to know anyway even if we never will be able to play it.
We at least kinda know what it was.

And the game crashes when I try to change the menu page. I guess that the menu address only can have some values and crashes when you set it to values that not exist.

We already said that RRR uses fake duplicate addresses to make the game crash when you try to cheat so keep looking... please.

I've got an idea. Perhaps the Cheat Menu unlocks when you have to enter your name ( in adventure / score / family mode ), and you enter the right code?
Well, I've tried CHEAT, Cheat, DEBUG, Debug, but none of them work. Could someone please try some other things?

What's the French word for "Debug"?

Débogage or Bug Informatique. Good tip would be to look up a word in English on Wikipedia and then check for it in other languages.

Droolie.
Ubi got lazy as soon as rayman 3 was released.

Maybe you need a certain name and/or a certain score. A score which is unattainable in the PC version because of the "glitch" (intentional?) in the copy-protection system.

What version. Remember, the copy-protection has a glitch that prevents perfect scores in certain mini-games. Maybe that was intentional so no-one could unlock the Cheat Menu.
