Stargus

Copy INSTALL.EXE from the original Starcraft I CD to phone directory /home/user/MyDocs/Starcraft (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 /home/user/MyDocs/Starcraft 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.

Download Stargus: Linux - 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: 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 Personal Menu by Andrew Olmsted
