Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc is the third major platforming installment in the Rayman series. It tells the story of how Rayman stops André, an evil black lum, from taking over the world with his army of sack-like 'Hoodlum' soldiers. The game has sarcastic self-referential undertones and pokes fun at the platforming video game genre.
Emulation Information
16:9
Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc has a native 16:9 display option, but it requires enabling it in its internal options and setting Dolphin's Aspect Ratio graphics setting to "Auto". Using the widescreen hack with this title is not recommended.
Problems
Dual Core Crashes
When using Dual Core mode Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc can be sensitive to emulation lag, which can result in crashes within certain levels (notably in the beginning of The Summit of Clouds, as well as reaching the end credits). Disabling "Enable Dual Core" will greatly increase stability.
Enhancements
Anti-aliasing Shadows
While using OpenGL backend, anti-aliasing causes Rayman's shadow to connect to his body by thin lines. Direct3D backend renders shadows properly for all anti-aliasing modes.
16:9 Aspect Ratio Fix
Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc's internal 16:9 aspect ratio option is flawed, some objects are not rendered on the sides from certain distances, and it was designed with the expectation of square pixels, which the GameCube doesn't have, so the game looks more squished than its developers intended. This Gecko code changes the game's horizontal width to accurately fill the GameCube's 16:9 area, matching the look of the other versions, as well as fixing any rendering issues.
