please help me get this game to work

Post by Roy G. Biv »

hello everybody,

I would really like some help, please, to get Stunt Island to work on my computer.

I got Stunt Island from here http://www.the-underdogs.org/game.php?id=1081 :)

I am using Windows XP.

I would like to know, a step-by-step process for installing and USING the game, please.

Plus, do I need to have DOSBox or something like it to play the game?
If so how do I get it to work with DOSbox?

What I tried was unzipping all the files, then Installing it (I think) and i clicked on the Batch file "STUNT" and it starts in that screen with "Action Reel in 15 seconds" and counts down. But EXTREMELY slow. And it does that with any batch file i click on. So I must have done something wrong, or not done something right :p

So, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you! :D

first thing is first RGB. Get the emulator.

DOSBox
http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/download.php?main=1

for some reason the top link isn't working. Just DL the second one and
follow the instructions. If you have questions after DLing, post here. Make sure your question is clear.

Also, with WinXP using DOSbox the FPS is really slow. I'm not sure how to fix that. But try right clicking the .bat or .exe file and changing the options in the properties.
