# Extract data from original Starcraft I CD. You have 2 options:
#* Use Windows or Linux machine to extract:
#*# Install Stargus from https://launchpad.net/stargus on your PC. Make sure that the version of Stargus is same that for Maemo!
#*# Data from the CD will be extracted during installation.
#*# After succesfull installation, copy data to folder <code>/opt/stratagus/share/stargus/</code> on the N900. Data on Windows is extracted to install directory, on Debian-like system to <code>/usr/share/stratagus/stargus</code>
#* Extract data directly to the N900:
#*# Copy <code>INSTALL.EXE</code> from the original Starcraft I CD to the directory <code>/home/user/MyDocs/Starcraft</code> on the N900 (Connect phone to computer with USB 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
# If you choose to extract data on the phone or you have extracted old/incompatible/other version data files, then during Stargus installation data files from <code>/home/user/MyDocs/Starcraft</code> will be automatically extracted. Note that this process may take 15 minutes and the application may not respond during this time.
# After installation, Stargus can be run from the 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]
