Rayman Pirate-Community

I only remember getting stuck in the Swamps of Forgetfulness.

I remember to have bigger issues in Picture City. That world should have been Mr. Dark's real lair.

Probably already known at this point, but I found a hidden mono sound setting in-game in the PS1 pal version using Cheat Engine.

Well guys, the Rayman 1 SNES Prototype was finally dumped! Credits go to Ocornut (https://twitter.com/ocornut/status/881876378056085505) for the dump and share.

Don't forget to thank him in case you have a twitter!

Right, can it be run on an emulator, or is there some fiddling that's required?

EDIT: Think I should make a news post on the portal about this?

It can be played in an emulator. I will see if today I can already update my channel with this content. Nothing much can be done as it is a very early build (the one Ancel showed) but better than nothing. Do write it!

EDIT: Already posted my own video in my channel.

It's incredible how we went from having just 2 pics on a french magazine to a playable prototype

Already recorded some gameplay myself of everything I could find that's playable, not much too it right now, if there are more levels in the prototype they'll probasbly need to be made accessible through a HEX editor, orif someone can find a cheat code to enter a debug mode of sorts. a couple notes from the description
-Pressing Y whilst stood still on a flat surface will pay an animation for Rayman charging his fist, releasing it will not cause any attack to happen though.
-pressing Y on slanted surface or whilst moving will just speed up the current animation
- Jumping seems to have 2 different animation, unable to determine what determines which one plays.
-This is currently the only playable level, its very short, it ends in a dead end.

Michel's mentioned it on his Instagram, he's joked about Rayman having a brother? https://www.instagram.com/p/BWF2U8TAX-h ... ichelancel

Thanks to Stacey, I discovered a few more quick things about the prototype
-The squishing jumping animation that I was originally confused about plays when Rayman hits a roof.
- There's an hallway that doesn't have any artwork right above the starting point, the pipe to the left of the starting point can also be stood in.
- Rayman plays a GROOVY idle animation if you leave him for long enough, pulling out a jukebox, he starts breakdancing to it.
- falling form a certain height will stun Rayman and play a short Dazed animation.

Posted a video too. Also L+R triggers an animation, and you can change it and access a Rayman whistling animation.

Small as it is I'm really glad that a ROM has finally been retrieved. It must have been what, roughly 7 years from the moment it was first put in Pix n Love to today pretty much. I'm now hoping it could be data mined and have sprites ripped and stuff, who knows what else could be lurking in the code.

It's… beautiful!
I guess that L+R animation was what they wanted to do in the Jaguar prototype too, but it made it crash for whatever reason.

So, I'm 100% sure that in the ROM there must be enemy sprites and other unfinished levels (possibly Rayman sister/whatever she is too), also what's up with Rayman when he is charging his fist, he looks like a dragon ball Z character with all those lightnings.. and for some reasons in the map I found an invisible wall where Rayman hits his head, odd...

It also appears that there's a early version of the run button in the game by holding the Y button while walking, though it has no animation.
There's also a ledge animation but it seems to be still very basic.

Number 20 on trending :O.

I was playing around and noticed there's a secret passage next to the chute which leads to an invisible path, if I'm not mistaken this is probably what you hit your head on: Also I was playing around with the ram in a hex editor and managed to find an alternate sprite of Rayman, seemingly half naked:


And a slightly glitchier view with a larger portion of the sprite sheet visible:

Is it possible to open that game on a computer? I thought it was on a super-rare catridge.

The concept of Rayomz isn't entirely new then, I guess.

And yes Rock, Ocornut dumped the ROM.

The cartridge was ripped, you can download it here: https://bit.ly/2tP3Ljd
