Here is the How-To for installing the incomplete Stargus Starcraft engine on your [[Nokia N900|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 [http://sourceforge.net/projects/stargus/ Stargus]:

# Download Stargus
# Put your Starcraft CD in.
# Install Stargus and when you are asked for 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 memorycard:\games\stratagus\
# Next you have to download this file: [http://www.mediafire.com/?3f30xvhrd1g Stratagus deb file]
# Copy this file to the root directory of your memory card
# 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 [[:Category:OS2008|OS2008]] ([[Open development/Maemo roadmap/Diablo|Diablo]]). In [[Open development/Maemo roadmap/Fremantle|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!

# 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]
