Starcraft Broodwar Iso
Since pre-1.15 exe's require a CD and we're not using them nowadays you can additionally download mini broodwar ISO (7MB) and just mount it (right click → 'Mount' on Windows). Now, instead of launching StarCraft.exe run the executable matching the version the replay. You can automate this process with BWChart (see Options). What version to run. How to watch old Starcraft:Broodwar replays. When trying to watch old SC:BW replays they seem odd or corrupt — units become inactive, workers not mining, minerals and gas count are growing by thousands. StarCraft: Brood War is a strategy game with real-time gameplay and a focus on base building, resource gathering and army building. The combination puts a lot of strain on the players and forces. The StarCraft: Brood War expansion adds a host of new features to the game, including three new campaigns set in the aftermath of the original StarCraft. You may want to check out more software, such as Starcraft II Mass Recall, StarCraft Heroes or StarCraft II Repair, which might be related to StarCraft - BroodWar.

IV. Installing Starcraft from an ISO file
1. Obtain an ISO file of either or both of the Starcraft CDs and copy them to some location on your computer
2. An ISO must be mounted at the root level for you to be able to use it as a Wine drive. To set the root password you must go to K Menu>KNOPPIX>Set password for root. You then need to open the root terminal go to K Menu>Utilities>Root Terminal
3. For both ISOs you need to make a new mount directory for example: mkdir /mnt/Starcraft /mnt/Broodwar/
4. Change to the directory where your two ISO files are for example (for usb drive): cd /media/sdd/
5. For mounting Starcraft ISO: mount Starcraft.iso /mnt/Starcraft/ -o ro,loop

11. Hit Apply to finish wine configuration
V. Running Starcraft from an ISO file

3. Hit the Play Starcraft button and it should work, to add more functionality see VI. and VII.
VI. Downloading the battle.net update without using battle.net
1. Download the latest 'windows' patch from a site like http://creepcolony.com/official.shtml as of writing this article the latest patch for broodwar is 1.14. If you have the full Broodwar installed then download the Broodwar one, otherwise download the Starcraft one.
2. Once you download it you need to Wine it. If you downloaded patch 1.114 for Broodwar to the Desktop, in the Konsole terminal program type: cd Desktop then type: wine bw-114.exe (For best results you probably want to wine this file from the same directory where Starcraft is installed, copying it there and Wineing it)
VII. IPX Setup
1. In the root terminal go to K Menu>Utilities>Root Terminal type: ipx_interface add -p eth0 802.2 0x39ab0222 (where eth0 is your ethernet device you use to connect to the internet and where 0x39ab0222 is a possible IPX address)

Bug: Starcraft loses your screen resolution when you exit if it was above the above like 1400x1050 before you played
Bug: When you join a battle.net game sometimes your screen goes black and you have to click the screen in order to see the join game window and move your mouse around to 'wipe' on the game
Bug: Sometimes wine doesn't play sound correctly on a computer
Bug?: Single player runs faster than on Windows and menu's appear faster also
