All right, bit of an announcement here.
Remember how LoveMetal started working on Rayman Optimum, using Java to make the project multiplatform? Yeah, forget about that.
There was a bit of an accident and we are left with basically 0 lines of code. The project isn't cancelled, but we are in dire need of a Java programmer. opengl/directx experience is huge plus! We need someone to help out so we can get this thing back on track.

You may can already start Rayman 1 by yourself on newer PCs using DOSBox or use simply Pok2's patch, but this ladies and Gentleman is going further beyond! A patch that has never been before ever! Even it outshines UbiSoft's release of Rayman Forever in Rayman Collection! Only in this collection you can see
Rayman 1 Rayman Designer Rayman by his Fans and even the rare and unkown
Rayman 60 Levels in English, French and German compiled together in one link. Unlike Pok2 & GoG and UbiSoft, this one can bring the full native speed back like it was in the old Windows 95 PCs. There are so many videos out there in YouTube on which you can here bad and scratchy soundeffects. This one give you the best quality that was available back then. Using filters and renderers it can improve the graphics and make it look decent on your high definition monitor. Even the intro clip has been enhanced to play in full 60 frames per second. In conclusion it is indeed the best you can get to play Rayman 1 in modern technology!
Add-Ons:
[list]
Custom PCX Files for Rayman Designer created by Fans
[/list]
Tips:
- If you got nVidia Optimus, I'd recommand you to launch the games with your intergrated chip.
- It's always better to take the smallest resolution that your monitor can handle.
- Some scalers will not work with OpenGL so if you want a specific one take DDraw instead.
- You can record best with Bandicam.
- Apply slowmotion fix only if your games run in slowmotion!
- Never ever play with the frequencies selection in the options menu!
Special thanks to Truner !

My minimum resolution is 144x100. The question is, will I be able to play at this resolution

No because Rayman operates in 320x200 and DOSBox upscales it to your desired resolution you wish. And your monitor most likely isn't going to run 144x100 natevily, so in other words it also just upscales it to its native resolution.

Why would it be? 144x100 is such a poor resolution, even Atari 2600 games looks sharper than that! Ok maybe not, but you get my point

Because my monitor is gigantic, and having a small resolution on a giant screen I find quite humorous.

If your monitor is gigantic, just change resolution to fit the screen lol.

Under caterogy CPU set core to "dynamic", cycle to "auto limit 60000", cycleup to 0 and cycledown to 0. So far tested on Rayman 60 new levels. But may work also on other R1 Games.
I think the beta Test is enough to prove.
If anyone is having problems with the cutscene playing very poorly - with choppy sound and stuttering video - then do exactly this, but rather than the dosbox.conf file, edit the Rayman.conf file instead (\UbiSoft\Rayman Optimum\Engine). I tried this with the dosbox.conf file but none of the settings were applied whenever I'd launch the game. So I randomly decided to check out the Rayman.conf file, figure out that it might have been this file all along, launch the game, then everything went smoothly; both the cutscene AND the gameplay.
Other than that, this is the best edition of Rayman 1 I have played! I really wish this was the version GOG packaged.
