Stunt Double: Reignition

Stunt Double: Reignition

A PC port of Stuntman: Ignition (Xbox 360, 2007) built by static recompilation with the ReXGlue SDK. The game's PowerPC executable is translated ahead of time into C++ and compiled natively: no emulator, no JIT.

Status: early development. Menus, career and races play; expect bugs.

This repository contains no game files and no recompiled game code, and neither do its releases. You need your own legally dumped copy of the Xbox 360 disc: the game is built on your PC from it.

Installing

1. Download StuntmanSetup-<version>.exe from Releases and run it.
2. Pick your Stuntman: Ignition ISO and an install folder (default C:\Games\StuntmanIgnition), then press Install.
3. When it's done, start the game from the Stuntman Ignition shortcut on the desktop. It opens on a start screen where you set video, controls and language, look at your achievements, and press Play.

The installer checks that the ISO is Stuntman: Ignition, extracts it, and gets what the build needs if it is missing: the free Microsoft Visual Studio Build Tools (about 6 GB, asks for administrator rights) and a portable Git. Then it downloads this project's source and the ReXGlue SDK, translates the game's code to C++ and compiles it. Count about 12 GB of free space and 30–60 minutes the first time. If it stops, run it again: finished steps are kept. Its log is install.log in the install folder.

Updating

From 0.3.0 on, the launcher checks GitHub for a newer release when it starts and shows an Update to x.y.z button. It downloads the new setup (checking its SHA-256 and version), which rebuilds the game at the new version from the game files already extracted in the install folder: no ISO needed, about 10–20 minutes. Saves, achievements and stuntman.toml are kept. From 0.2.x or earlier, download the new setup by hand once and install over the same folder.

Requirements (building by hand)

• Windows 10/11 x64
• Visual Studio 2022 or 2026 with Desktop development with C++, the Windows SDK, C++ Clang Compiler for Windows and C++ CMake tools (provides Clang, CMake and Ninja)
• Git, PowerShell
• .NET 10 SDK, for the launcher (optional: without it only the game is built)
• A GPU with Direct3D 12 support
• Your own ISO of Stuntman: Ignition for Xbox 360

Building

1. Extract your ISO into game\ so that game\default.xex exists, e.g. with extract-xiso:

   extract-xiso -d game -x "Stuntman - Ignition.iso"
   

   (game can also be a directory junction to an existing extraction.)
2. Set up the SDK (clones ReXGlue v0.10.0, applies patches\sdk, builds the rexglue CLI):

   .\setup.ps1
   

3. Configure and build (codegen runs as part of the build):

   . .\scripts\devenv.ps1
   cmake --preset win-amd64-relwithdebinfo -DREXSDK_DIR=thirdparty/rexglue-sdk
   cmake --build out\build\win-amd64-relwithdebinfo
   

4. Run the game from the repository root (it finds game\ there), or start out\build\win-amd64-relwithdebinfo\StuntmanLauncher.exe:

   .\out\build\win-amd64-relwithdebinfo\stuntman.exe --log_file=stuntman.log
   

PC menu

The game opens on a full-screen start screen in the style of the game's own menus: Play, Video, Controls, Game, Achievements and Quit. While playing, F1 (or Back + Start on a controller) opens the same menu over the game, which gets no input while it is open; the first entry resumes. It works with keyboard, mouse and controller, and every change is saved at once to stuntman.toml next to the game.

• Video: fullscreen or windowed, resolution including ultrawide (21:9, 32:9) and 16:10, black bars or stretch on screens that aren't 16:9 (a true ultrawide view needs a game patch, not done yet), 30 or 60 FPS, frame pacing, supersampling, texture filtering, an FPS counter (also F2).
• Controls: keyboard on or off, two keys per action, and a controller layout that swaps buttons. The menus always use the normal layout, so a bad layout can't lock you out.
• Game: language (English, French, German, Spanish, Italian), start screen on or off, log file.
• Achievements: what you unlocked and when, with the game's icons.

Settings the game reads only at startup (resolution, supersampling, monitor, and the language once the game is running) show a Restart now prompt. The menu is in Italian when the game is, English otherwise.

Default keyboard controls:

Action	Keys
Gas / brake, reverse (RT / LT)	W / S
Steer	A, D or Left, Right
Left stick up / down	Up / Down
A (confirm) / B (back)	Space or Enter / Backspace
X / Y / LB / RB	E / Q / Z / C
Camera (right stick)	I J K L
D-pad	1 2 3 4
Start (pause) / Back	Esc or P / Tab

Launcher

StuntmanLauncher.exe installs the game (see Installing) and, once it is installed, manages your saves: career and replays at a glance, delete single replays, back up and restore (zips in Documents\stuntman\backups), start over from scratch or reset achievements. A backup is made before anything is deleted. The Start menu has it as Stuntman Ignition Launcher, with Uninstall. Its interface is in English or Italian, following Windows.
