- | == Installing Stargus on Nokia N900 ==
| + | Here is the How-To for installing Starcraft on your 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
| + | To install this you need to have rootsh installed. If you don't have it yet please install it through the Program Manager (with maemo extras enabled). Also you need to have a memory card inserted in the N900. |
- | # 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]].
| + | |
| | | |
- | See the talk.maemo.org thread http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=904603 for discussion.
| + | First you need to get the files from the original Starcraft CD with Stargus: |
| + | [http://sourceforge.net/projects/stargus/ Stargus Project page] |
| | | |
- | == Installing Stargus on Nokia N800 (Diablo) ==
| + | Download Stargus |
| | | |
- | # Download Stargus: [http://stargus.sourceforge.net/install/ Linux] - [http://sourceforge.net/projects/stargus/ Windows]
| + | Put your Starcraft CD in. |
- | # 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:
| + | Install Stargus and when you're asked for select the CD-Rom drive. |
| + | When finished exit Stargus and go to the directory, where Stargus was installed (C:\\Program Files\Stargus) |
| | | |
- | stratagus -v 2 -d /media/mmc1/games/stratagus/stargus
| + | Copy the CONTENT of the Data directory to your memory card to memorycard:\\games\stratagus\ |
| | | |
- | Notes:
| + | Next you have to download this file: [http://www.mediafire.com/?3f30xvhrd1g Stratagus deb file] |
| | | |
- | # 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.
| + | Copy this file to the root directory of your memory card. |
- | # 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]

- | [[Category:HowTo]] | + | |
| + | ''Setting up stratagus (0.1.4) ... |
| + | /var/lib/dpkg/info/stratagus.postinst: line 7: maemo-select-menu-location: not found'' |
| + | |
| + | It doesn't mean anything serious. That was the category selection menu in maemo 2008 (diablo). In maemo 5 we don't have this selection menu but it doesn't matter, the game installed fine. |
| + | If you already have Warcraft 2 installed, you first have to rename your Warcraft 2 games directory on your memory card. |
| + | Have fun! |
