Spice86
From Stunts Wiki
Stunts works well under many emulators.
DOSBox
- Vanilla DOSBox supports it without particular problems
- DOSBox Staging no reports, but this emulator is used by at least one modder, so no problems are to be expected
- Dosbox-X also works but tends to allocate less conventional memory, which has led to some problem when using demanding car models. The problem can be avoided by disabling
xms
and setminimum mcb free
to 1.
Spice86
Spice86 is an experimental emulator, whose support for Stunts is being worked on as of 2025. At present (2025-03-01) it can start the game, but no sound is played (start with -a ns
to avoid wasting cycles on that)
Additionally, one must give the parameter --InstructionsPerSecond 5000000. The reason for this workaround is that Stunts activates interrupts in the middle of the int 8 handler (see here), so another int 8 can could be triggered in between. This interrupt corresponds to the programmable interrupt timer, which Stunts sets at 100 Hz.
