ROM links aren't allowed on this forum, and there is not a version of Starcraft made for the PPC.

SC has never been released on a console, so you won't find a ROM.

N64 starcraft was an insult to starcraft, even if it worked on PPC its not worth playing

What I'm wondering is where SC2 is at?

I know SC was successful enough for Blizzard to invest a few million into it's sequel. Dang there's like 10 different C&C games.

I think they're a little too busy making World of Warcraft and Starcraft: Ghost for the Xbox :D

ok, try this to get starcraft working, get the souce code for WINE, take the source code and compile it for mobile linux, install linux on your AXIM, then take the starcraft CD and dump it to a CF card, then remember linux for the dell axim only supports internal memory, so get a huge memory upgrade to your motherboard, to about 512 megs of RAM, then install wine on the axim, then use wine to run starcraft off of the memory, leaving you with about 100 lest hours, and starcraft playing at about 3 seconds per frame

Iwantbatteries, that won't work, as Wine doesn't emulate the x86 processor only routes commands to it, and the Axim doens't have an x86 processor. To run regular StarCraft you'd need a full on PC emulator, such as Bochs. You wouldn't need a RAM upgrade either, Linux can still load stuff from CF card, if I'm not mistaken. It's just that the RAM is alocated entirely for running memory (erasing its contents). And, no I don't care that you were being sarcastic.

At one point and time a freeware engine that could run StarCraft data files, called FreeCraft, but that got killed by a Cease-and-Desist letter from Blizard. :( It could run WarCraft 2 files as well.
