HowTo: Runescape on your N900(NOT VNC)

Believe it or not, its actually possible, with native Java!

However, it doesn't run very well. I run mine at 900-950mhz, and get around 1.5fps on minimum settings. Good enough for doing boring stuff like fishing, but not much else. Don't even -think- about PVP.
Note: All credit goes to ethoxyethaan on the Runescape official forums. She also placed this guide in the public domain.

Here's how to do it:
1. Install p7zip-full and icedtea6 packages. I have extras-devel installed, so they may be there, or in testing. I'm not sure.
2. Open up a terminal, if you haven't already, and run these commands:

Code:

cd ~

wget http://www.runescape.com/downloads/runescape.msi -O $HOME/runescape.msi

7z e -o$HOME/rs_client $HOME/runescape.msi

7z e -o$HOME/rs_client/cabfile $HOME/rs_client/rslauncher.cab

mkdir -p $HOME/runescape/bin

mv $HOME/rs_client/cabfile/JagexAppletViewerJarFile.* $HOME/runescape/bin/jagexappletviewer.jar

mkdir $HOME/runescape/images

mv $HOME/rs_client/cabfile/JagexAppletViewerPngFile $HOME/runescape/images/jagexappletviewer.png

Now, it is installed. To run, you need to run this line:

Code:

/usr/bin/java -Djava.class.path="$HOME/runescape/bin/jagexappletviewer.jar" -Dcom.jagex.config=http://www.runescape.com/k=3/l=en/jav_config.ws

 jagexappletviewer user/runescape/images

I suggest adding it to a .sh file for ease of launching.

Now, just wait for it to load; you should see a window named "RuneScape" appear and start loading.
...And that's it. Easy as pie! Sound even works right!

A couple of things to be aware of:
1. You can't get the screen any smaller than 800x600 fixed window, so you will have to scroll it. That's what the scrollbar on the right is for.
2. The world map may crash your system, or slow it down to the point of unusability. It loaded for like 5 minutes at which point I got bored, tried to close it by clicking a bunch, and ended up logged out of RS(but the client was still up)
3. While all the keys work, you have to -hold- alt/shift when pressing a key. Pressing alt or shift and -then- the key won't work.
Also, clicks sometimes don't seem to register right - Note that single-button-mouse mode is a good idea.
4. I can't find a way to get ` or ~, so no way to get the dev console, and find the real FPS rate.
5. If we could get OpenGL acceleration to work, we'd increase the FPS significantly. Unfortunately, I don't know what's needed there.
6. Because of the low framerate, this is almost a proof-of-concept and wouldn't be too fun for actual gaming. But hey, I think its the -only- 3D MMORPG that works on a mobile phone, and not many(if -ANY-) at that.

Thoughts, suggestions, comments or ideas?
