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

There are no reported problems with this title.

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.

Shadow Glitch

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, no 2D elements are adjusted, and 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, adjusts any text to appear at the correct aspect ratio, as well as fixing any rendering issues.
