This started two months ago when I found stuttering problems in Rayman 3 PC. After giving up in the process of fixing the framerate, I started to move PC textures to the Gamecube version using Dolphin emulator. I created a few of new textures too in order to improve the textures with lower resolution. So I uploaded the texture mod and then, RibShark from Rayman Pirate Community contacted me with a surprise; he extracted textures from the 360 HD version of the game. Lots of the textures are really the original version with 2x the resolution of the pc version (that already were 2x resolution of the gamecube version). The problem with the HD version (360/PS3) is that it's 720p and has framerate problems too. So I started again from scratch using best version for every asset and adding a few of new ones like loading screen, menus, skies, fonts, etc. After that, I wanted to search for the best version of every old Rayman and ended with this compilation.
You will need consoles bios and obviously, the games.
Rayman (PSX) using Retroarch mednafen (with 4xbr-hybrid-crt shader)
Rayman 2 (Dreamcast) using DEMUL (with Cartoon shader)

Before upload the package, I have to ask if it is allowed here. I mean, can I upload pre-configured emulators?

There is a Rayman.exe using AutoHotKey that launches X-Padder so you can quit the game holding 3 seconds the back button. If you have X-Padder in your PC use the profile I've uploaded, change the program folder in the Rayman.ahk file to match yours. If you don't have X-Padder, use Rayman_noxpadder.exe instead.
