I installed rayman 2 with rayman control panel but the game still won't launch.

Which version of the game is it? Disc, GOG or Ubisoft Connect?

its the disc version

The disc version is really hard to get working correctly on modern computers. It might work if you use DgVoodoo, but I remember people still having issues either with the disc DRM or with the sounds playing. I would highly recommend getting the digital version from GOG instead since that one works much better. It goes on sale really often as well.

Can someone explain what this is? Is this fanmade or official?

WPTheModder · Post by **WPTheModder** » Sun Dec 08, 2024 11:41 pm

It's fanmade. Ubisoft doesn't want you to mod Rayman games I believe, since R2 has a thing that stops you from playing if it detects the game is modified.

Ahhh... Well im only gonna use it to play the edu games, as i think im just gonna play the mainline ones on console.

You need the disc to do that, and I believe (as all things Rayman are), it's expensive! Unless you already have the ROMs...

I'd like to rejoin the modding server!

(I wasn't exactly sure as of where to put this since your PM's are closed, I hope this is appropriate since I can't reach you

Is there a reason why RCP doesn't see my RRR2 progression? The game is the Russian version, but It sees the game just fine, can launch it, and I checked that all the trophies are visible in the game. The game is the full version and the save file is in the standard location %USERPROFILE%\Documents\RRR2\RRR2.SAV. Updated to the latest version of RCP and also tried removing and re-adding the game. Is the RRR2 progression feature not implemented?

RayCarrot · Post by **RayCarrot** » Fri Jul 18, 2025 9:57 am

Yeah I haven't added progression support for RRR2 yet. It might take a while until I do, but if you could upload your save file then that would help once I get to it!

Post by **dr_st** » Fri Jul 18, 2025 3:21 pm

Sure, the save file is attached. BTW, If you want to give me some pointers on the relevant sections of RCP code, I might see if I can figure out how to add this support myself.

The save file structure is as straightforward as I've seen - 3 scores per game, each score is 16 bytes - 8-character ASCII string with the name (weird endianness), followed by 4 bytes of zeros and a 32-bit score in little endian. Total size - 768 bytes. If any scores (names or numbers) are not default, the game marks the level as 'completed' with a trophy.

Oh that's a relief! The save for RRR1 is incredibly convoluted and I feared the same would be true here.

If you want to help out by making a pull request then that would be great

In order to serialize a binary file you add a class here which inherits from BinarySerializable. You can see how the others implement it or ask me if you have any questions! I think the GBA save classes might be easiest to look at for examples.

Then once you have the serializable class you need to update the progression manager here to implement LoadSlotsAsync.

I downloaded this to get the music to work for Rayman Forever on GOG. I haven't had any luck even after using the music patch in ther control panel and messing with the cycle settings/ using rec settings etc. I also am not able to launch the game through the control panel I get an error that says I need the Dosconfigurator from start menu to start and so I find that, open it for rayman and I get the same error for it when trying to launch from the control panel. So i just start it from GOG but I'm unsure if the settings I am applying from the Rayman Control Panel is even changing anything for it, since when I go back to the game, the music and everything is as broken as it was before. Just really confused and not sure what I'm doing wrong, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cool! I'll see what I can do.

How do you normally handle pull requests? I suppose I should create a fork and submit from there? Otherwise you need to manage write access to repository and protected branches.

Could you upload the RCP log after you try launching the game? So first try launching the game through RCP, then close RCP and send the log. It's at %LocalAppData%\Rayman Control Panel\RCP_Metro\Temp.

Yep, a fork and then a pull request is the easiest!

Sweet. I've set up a build environment for myself and started looking into it. Your pointers were spot on. It will take me a bit to hash out a complete working solution, but I've already spotted and fixed a minor issue with RHR progression, so there will be a different PR headed your way soon.

RayCarrot · Post by **RayCarrot** » Sun Jul 20, 2025 2:32 pm

Ah I'm guessing it using signed values for the score? I noticed that not too long ago as well

But I haven't gotten around to fixing it yet due to being busy with other things, so a PR for that would be welcomed too!

I was thinking to upload it as a file, but this works too. I can see that the issue is here:

Code: Select all

The file C:\Program Files (x86)\GOG Galaxy\Games\Akalabeth - World of Doom\DOSBOX\GOGDOSConfig.exe launched

So it's launching "GOGDOSConfig.exe" instead of "DOSBox.exe". It seems several people have had issues with the DOSBox path being wrong, so there might be an issue with RCP automatically finding the exe for it. I'll look into that later, but for now you can fix it by removing the entry for DOSBox under "Configure game clients/emulators" (accessed by pressing the bottom-left edit button in the Games page) and then manually locating the DOSBox exe.
