So yeah, the recently released Rayman collection is using a slightly modded version of my DREAMM emulator to run the DOS versions of the games, including the extra level packs. Happy to see more DOS ports making it into these kinds of collections and onto consoles!

Also can add Rayman to the list of games I've emulated on multiple platforms. My first experience with Rayman was emulating the PS1 release in Connectix Virtual GameStation back in 1998.

@aaronsgiles That’s really cool! And they are very good games.
I noticed that DREAMM v4 beta now runs on multiple platforms, including Windows. I think I remember that you were not much interested in porting it outside of macOS. Do we have to thank little Rayman for that?
But maybe you can’t answer 😉

@xtof DREAMM has supported MacOS and Linux since 2.1! My work to support DREAMM's use in Digital Eclipse's Tetris Forever collection meant that it also built for Xbox, PS5, and Switch. Rayman just builds on all of that. :)

@aaronsgiles I did not know for the DE’s Tetris Collection. As a former, and almost exclusive at the time, MSDOS player, I am really glad that your efforts allow this kind of ports on consoles 🥰

@aaronsgiles Very nice to see this sort of thing, even if it's not my kind of games. But with luck, eventually there will be one that is. Pity it appears to be Windows only, when at least DREAMM runs so well on other platforms.

@et_andersson Yeah, not sure the logic behind that, but I'm two steps removed from that kind of decision-making.
