Revision as of 06:20, 30 March 2010

Here is the How-To for installing the incomplete Stargus Starcraft engine on your N900. This is not the full Starcraft game. See the project page linked below for details.

To install this you need to have root access. Also you need to have a memory card inserted in the N900.

First you need to get the files from the original Starcraft CD with Stargus:


  1. Download Stargus
  2. Put your Starcraft CD in.
  3. Install Stargus and when you are asked for select the CD-Rom drive.
  4. Exit Stargus and go to the directory where Stargus was installed (C:\Program Files\Stargus)
  5. Copy the CONTENT of the Data directory to your memory card to memorycard:\games\stratagus\
  6. Next you have to download this file: Stratagus deb file
  7. Copy this file to the root directory of your memory card
  8. Open X-Terminal on the N900 and type in the following: 
root
cd /media/mmc1/
dpkg -i stratagus-0.1-4_armel.deb

Now it gets installed and you are ready! When you see this code while installing Stratagus: 

Setting up stratagus (0.1.4) ...
/var/lib/dpkg/info/stratagus.postinst: line 7: maemo-select-menu-location: not found

It does not mean anything serious. That was the category selection menu in OS2008 (Diablo). In Maemo 5 we do not have this selection menu but it does not 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!

How to instructions for installing Stargus on the N800 (Diablo)

  1. Download Stargus: Linux - Windows
  2. Put your Starcraft CD in.
  3. Install Stargus and when you are asked, select the CD-Rom drive.
  4. Exit Stargus and go to the directory where Stargus was installed (C:\Program Files\Stargus)
  5. Copy the CONTENT of the Data directory to your memory card to media\mmc1\games\stratagus\stargus
  6. Next you have to download this file: Stratagus deb file
  7. Copy this file to the root directory one of your external memory card
  8. running the .deb from the file manager should work
  9. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
