Rayman Pirate-Community

Here I post the widescreen patch along with all cutscene videos of Rayman Arena PC.
Shadorino and Ribshark helped me much to make exe files and cutscenes suitable for 16:9 screen.
If anyone love this patch, please donate tings to them.

NOTE: mega links are not for long-time save, it is very kind of you guys to backup files in another web storage;
3 parts rar'ed
Screen shots: (all are of 16:9 aspect)







Your keen eyes will notice that HUDs are slightly distorted horizontally in the shot below, which I could not solve in the patch.
If you know how to fix this HUD distortion, I will appreciate the skill. Please post that fix.

I assume this will work for Rayman M players too, correct?

Rayman M and Arena have different .exe files, so there'll have to be a separate mod for Rayman M (which I believe exists in another forum somewhere).

As I expected. If one for M is shared I will have a try.

No, Rayman Arena has the feature of LAN play while M does not.
That is the reason why I made this Arena widescreen patch for people wanting to play the game via internet, i.e. online play.

EDIT:
I found your question on Rayman M for LAN play;
viewtopic.php?p=427921#p427921
So, Ubisoft's answer is Rayman Arena, not online patch to Rayman M but another soft that is Rayman Arena having LAN play capability.

Oh, Ribshark has devised his new widescreen patching method;

Great ! Using BetterRayman3.dll and patched exe along with database, installation is very easy without making any labour to edit all cutscene videos fit for widescreen.
I hope he will have time to do it on Rayman Arena PC as well as Rayman M PC........

Works badly for me. It was a good attempt still.

I might have something for M/Arena coming soon. Keep watching this space.

That's wierd, it works for me just fine.

Wow, thank you for replying to this issue、 widescreen patch to Rayman Arena.
I am earnestly looking forward to your divine skill on M/Arena widescreen.

The widescreen patched exe, R_Arena.exe attempts to change the screen resolution that requires Administrator's right in Windows 7 or after.
So you must run R_Arena.exe with Administrator's right.
Did you do that ?

Wow, in almost one year after I posted this Arena Widescreen patch, over one thousand people accessed this thread.
I feel happy thinking that people are like to play Rayman Arena in widescreen. Good game in good widescreen !

How do i install this? Do i just download all the 3 parts and extract one part in the Rayman Arena folder?

Oh, you have to buy the game from Ubi Soft.
These files are just offering the modification of widescreen play. You must apply these files AFTER THE GAME INTALLATION, i.e. overwrite to the original ones.

EDIT:
To unarchive these three parts files;
- First you have to buy "WinRAR" software to unarchive rar'ed files and install it.
-Second, save my three parts rar'ed files into the same folder in your PC.
-Third, point the first file and click right mouse button to get submenu, i.e. context menu.
-Forth, in the context menu, you now get "Unarchive" menu asking that where to unarchive the file.
-Fifth, selecting a directory you like, you will get all MOD files unarchived into it.
-Sixith, then copy MOD files to the original game installed folder to get Widescreen play.
NOTE: Please note that MOD files must be overwritten to the original files, so you will be careful to overwrite right files to right folder. Watch out the right directory when you copy files.

Oh ! Adosolution already posted Arena CDs;
viewtopic.php?p=656054#p656054

If you overwrite my files to those that you installed with Adosolution's CDs, you will get full widecreen play.

Wow, before two years is passsed, this thread has gotten oner 2000 accesses.
Thank you for your interest in Widescreen Arena PC.

BTW, I am earnestly looking forward the fix for "HUDs horizontal stretch" bug.

If someone has clue on this issue, please post your divine product to this thread.

As it was regularly getting the access from guys in the forum, this thread has got over 3000 accesses in three years.
Thanks for your access.
I am still groping in the dark how HUDs distortion would be solved.
If you gus have any idea, I will grealy appreciate it. There might be custom textures package, but whether anything else was changed in the binary... I don't know.

This has been fixed in new version of Rayman 2 widescreen fix.
Maybe try to talk with RibShark. He found proper offset in binary responsible for that.

Thank you for your quick suggestion, as well as PM from you.
Ya, I recognized that Ribshark developped his R2 with HUDs properly scaled.
Yes, I will talk of this issue with Ribshark.
Tnak you again.
