I'm attaching a no-CD patch that does the very same changes (only at different actual offsets) in the fixed executable as the original no-CD patch did on the original executable. Please, report your results back.

[...] Weird... I just noticed that this executable is dated 2001-11-15 while that in the original release is dated 2001-11-20. This means your executable is not a fix, rather a pre-release or something?!
This DX8 issue that "DX8 not initialized" Please run DX8 setup is warned happens when the game is run in Windows 7 64bit.
RaymanM.exe file shall be set to "Run this program as Administrator" with its property.
