== Installing Stargus on Nokia N900 ==

# Copy <code>INSTALL.EXE</code> from the original Starcraft I CD to phone directory <code>/home/user/MyDocs/Starcraft</code> (Connect phone to computer in mass storage mode and copy files to Starcraft directory). Note: Broodwar does not work
# Install Stargus from Hildon Application Manager or via apt-get
# During Stargus installation, data files from <code>/home/user/MyDocs/Starcraft</code> will be automatically extracted. Note that this process may take 15-30 minutes and the installer may not respond during this time.
# After installation, Stargus can be run from the [[Application Menu|application menu]].

== Installing Stargus on Nokia N800 (Diablo) ==

# Download Stargus: [http://stargus.sourceforge.net/install/ Linux] - [http://sourceforge.net/projects/stargus/ Windows]
# Put your Starcraft CD in.
# Install Stargus and when you are asked, select the CD-Rom drive.
# Exit Stargus and go to the directory where Stargus was installed (C:\Program Files\Stargus)
# Copy the CONTENT of the Data directory to your memory card to media\mmc1\games\stratagus\stargus
# Next you have to download this file: [http://www.mediafire.com/?3f30xvhrd1g Stratagus deb file]
# Copy this file to the root directory of your external memory card
# running the .deb from the file manager should work
# otherwise, Open X-Terminal and type in the following as root, pressing enter after each line:
  
 cd ..
 cd ..
 cd media/mmc1/
 dpkg -i stratagus-0.1-4_armel.deb

Once installed, the shortcut created in the application menu will not work, use this code in X-terminal instead:

 stratagus -v 2 -d /media/mmc1/games/stratagus/stargus

Notes:

# Be very careful with your spelling of stratagus/stargus, it will save you a lot of frustration. Copy-and-pasting into X-term is preferable.
# You may see an error stating that preferences.lua cannot be loaded or found. ignore this. Stargus should still start and after editing settings you won't see that message again.
# Stargus may not initially start in full screen. but this is okay, you simply need to goto settings within stargus and tick "full screen." don't change the display size.
# You can create a custom shortcut, using the X-term code above, in the wonderful application ''[http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/personal-menu/ Personal Menu]'' by [http://maemo.org/profile/view/fiferboy/ Andrew Olmsted]
