Anyone renember that Picture?
There was sometime someone who was dreaming about Starcraft on his Future Pandora too.
Found that Picture with Google ;)

Can the now free Starcraft 1.18 be packaged to work with this port? Or can the file it says are missing just be copied to the StarCraft directory? Been trying to get this working for a while now.... The nostalgia Thanks for your efforts...
 
No, Notaz's recompile is targetting ARM Linuxes. It won't run on a conventional desktop system of any type, and even if you do own an ARM desktop running Linux it probably targets bits of the OMAP3 and SGX GPU. You might experience more success running it under QEMU, but I can't really help you in setting that up.

Yes, but M-HT indeed released desktop version of his ARM recompiles, e.g. Albion.

(there are still some left for recompilation for desktop, code is here: https://github.com/M-HT/SR/tree/master/SR-games )

I may be wrong but I think @TrashyMG compiled notaz's StarCraft on his OMAP5 EVM board.
Notaz compiled the Hardfloat executable, I compiled the ARM version of WINE on the devboard that makes it work.

Notaz has armhf versions of the Diablo games too.
 
The changelog looks really bad.
New OpenGL backend - most likely GL2+, so no way to run on pandora.
New anticheat capabilities - looks like they ported the protection from Overwatch, it doesn't even work on wine on PC Linux: https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=35171

it's pretty safe to say all this will never run on pandora.
That's too bad. I tried to run 1.18 with Wine too, but there are some known library problems.

Good thing I installed from my old CDs last year and upgraded to 1.16, it sounds like there's no clean way to get it to run on Pandora any longer unless you already did it before 1.18 was released :(

I've installed the v1.5 installer from Blizzard's site a few days ago via PlayOnLinux but I don't get past the loading screen, any idea what might have went wrong?
With the new version I didn't even reach the loading screen of course.
