          Anybody know where the settings file would be located?

          I did some searching on my Pi and I found this file with settings in it:
          /home/pi/.stratagus/wc2/preferences.lua

          Maybe try editing that or deleting it and see if it will recreate it with defaults when you run Stratagus.

          Update

          I just move that preferences.lua file somewhere else and then ran Stratagus and it recreated it with the defaults.

            hate to ask a noob question but what does the . mean in front of stratagus in /home/pi/.stratagus/wc2/preferences.lua ?

            Update

            Nevermind I found it I forgot to set WinSCP to show hidden files and folders.

              Unix OS's use this to indicate a "hidden directory"

                      Hi all,

                      Has anyone managed to get StarCraft up and running with Stratagus? I've managed to get Warcraft 1 and Warcraft 2 working great, however I'm hitting the same issue that @crowi was seeing on 09/08/16 in regards to StarCraft after following the same steps for Warcraft (using Stargus instead of Wargus for data extraction).

                      Setup info:

                      Pi Model or other hardware: Raspberry Pi 3
                      Power Supply used: 5V/3A power adaptor.
                      RetroPie Version Used: 4.1 image, updated to 4.1.11 retropie_script
                      Built From: 4.1 image from RetroPie website
                      USB Devices connected: Rapoo T-Series keyboard and wireless mouse with dongle.
                      Controller used: Bluetooth WiiU Pro controller
                      Emulator: Stratagus (updated through binary)
                      Guide used: https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/Stratagus

                      Runcommand.log:

                      --- start of joystick-selection log
joystick selection by name is ON!

                      Thanks very much!

                        I was having the same issue with starcraft as most people on this forum. I have checked the sizes of the folders, Warcraft 1 is 15.6mb, Warcraft 2 is 40Mb and Starcraft (which works via Stargus on windows 7 x64) is 1.86mb. Now the install file alone to make Starcraft work on the pc is 587mb so Stargus has to be keeping the files it need to run Starcraft elsewhere which is why Starcraft isn't working but Warcraft 1 and 2 are.

                        So I did some more digging and if you are in windows if you go to %users/profile name/appdata/roaming/stratagus/ you will see a data.stargus folder as well as sc, wc1,wc2. The folder size of the data.stargus folder is 520mb and there isn't a data folder for Warcraft or Warcraft 2. The data we need to run starcraft on the pi is in that data.stargus folder. Take the folders in the data.stargus folder and place them in the roms\stratagus\starcraft.data folder on the pi. I also had already copied the folders that are in C:\program files (x86)\stargus (assuming your using windows) to the starcraft.data folder to the pi so I'm not sure if you really need those or not.

                        I have confirmed this to work on my retropi

                        Whats weird is I cant do a campaign game, only these preset maps. Campaign is greyed out even though I own the registered version of this game and it works fine on my pc

                        Setup info:

                        Pi Model or other hardware: Raspberry Pi 3 model b

                          Confirmed working on my Pi as well following the same steps. Copied over all the data from C:\Program Files\stargus into roms\stratagus\starcraft.data and then copied the remaining data from %users/profile name/appdata/roaming/stratagus/ into roms\stratagus\starcraft.data as well.

                          That's now working great, so thanks so much @polygaryd hugely appreciated!

                              So I guess if the campaign for Starcraft doesn't work people are playing online multiplayer or something like that?

                              I gave up on Stratagus for Warcraft II (I run that through DOSBox now), but would like to get Starcraft (which is Windows 95? only, right?) running at some point in time as it's a good game (and I even still have my old CD for it!).

                                Maybe somebody build a Win95 or a Win98 Emulator with 3d-acceleration support?
                                Starcraft would run smoothly on something like that.

                                An emulator or a virtual machine would give us the chance to run all the nice games of that century, but it would be only an option for Retropie-x86 users.

                                Is anybody here with experiences?

                                  Here on this thread there is discussion about installing Windows 95 in Dosbox:
                                  https://retropie.org.uk/forum/post/67700

                                  There wouldn't be any OpenGL or DirectX support.

                                  Or you can pay $25 for ExaGear:
                                  https://eltechs.com/product/exagear-desktop/
                                  I've never used it so I don't know how well it works.

                                    @backstander I am personally against people capitalising on projects meant for learning. I wrote up the guide on getting stargus running in direct response to self promoting hoo hahs going "lookie here everybody! Play your old games! just pay us this bucket of money to do so!"

                                    Im also not sure how much compliance they are in with licences of what they use. Hard to know being closed source...

                                      I've always been curious about that project but I have stayed away from it because it is closed source but I've never thought about the license compliance. I believe it uses Wine to help accomplish what it does. It really bothered me back when TransGaming made the closed source WineX/Cedega/whateveritwascalled from the Wine source code! I loved the idea of playing video games in Linux but what they did was wrong!

                                      You are right! The Raspberry Pi is all about learning how to do things! I probably shouldn't be promoting something like that!

                                      On the other hand, I'm excited about that thread trying to get Windows 95 working in Dosbox on a RPi! I think tyreal90 got it working but others haven't been as lucky.

                                          Hi everyone,

                                          I just wanted to share a quick guide to play StarCraft under RetroPie easily:

                                          http://berryboot.alexgoldcheidt.com/starcraft-on-retropie/

                                          If you found any issue on any step from this guide, just let me know.

                                            I was able to get warcraft 2 working via wargus no problem, but when i upgraded to beyond the dark portal expansion pack on my pc (which runs fine btw) and then recopied the files the same way as i had before for warcraft 2 it no longer works on my retropie.

                                            In the log it says "/home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/tmp/build/stratagus/src/unit/script_unittype.cpp:1107: CclDefineUnitType: Unsupported tag: CanGroundAttack

                                            . Does anyone have warcraft 2 with beyond the dark portal working on raspberry-pi running retropie.
