I have looked through many forums recently, and I have yet discovered at starcraft game for the pocket pc. I have finally realized that pocketDOS won't do the trick, because it is build upon 8-bit architecture while starcraft/warcraft was build upon 16-bit plus extended memory requirements.

After that I discovered that someone got warcraft II working on a PPC. To do this they used stratagus (http://n0p.tonych.info/?Stratagus_%26amp%3B_Wargus:VGA_(640x480))for pocket pc and then converted the original warcraft-game in wargus (http://wargus.sourceforge.net/). I looked further and I discovered stargus (http://stargus.sourceforge.net/)(starcraft) which is also running on the same engine (stratagus).

AND...:)I wonder if someone on this forum would make stargus work with the stratagus pocket pc engine?? :confused:

I even think people would pay to have starcraft on their PDA :D

PS: I'm a noob on programming myself so don't yell if i am totally wrong here..and my English is probably bad :p

Starcraft is a Win32 x86 32bit at-least 800x600 protected mode application using DirectX - I don't think it will run on any WiMo 640x480 PPC within the next 10 years unless someone finds impressive amounts of spare time to emulate an entire x86 Win32 environment along with DirectX...
