Ok it is finished, I have updated the original post with these instructions and here you have it...
Take a look at my original post in this thread to see more information, manuals and walkthroughs...




Step 1*: install Timidity from Maemo.org or app manager
http://maemo.org/downloads/timidity

Step 2*: Remove the soundfont from /usr/share/timidity (for space, you dont need it after step 3)

Step 3*: download http://www.n8ftl.org/maemo/lotr/EAWpats-lotr.tar.gz and extract it from / (it will install it on /media/mmc1/ in EAWpats. You can (if space in / is an issue) extract this from the MMC and simply move it to the proper location when it is finished. This collection of patches is about 32MB and can probably have a lot of patches deleted if you only want to use timidity for lotr, but leave them if you want to play other midi files with timidity.

Step 4: download lotr-0.6.4-ARMEL.tar.gz and install it from / it will copy the engine files, the timidity.cfg, the .desktop file and the icons

Step 5: install the original game data (not the exe files) to /media/mmc1/share/games/lotr/

Step 5a: if you are using an N800 (or 770, though I have NOT tested it on a 770) you will need either a BT keyboard or a software keyboard that works in SDL games. A great keyboard and layout can be found from here: http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...d.php?p=218041 (Thanks Addison!)

Step 6: click on the icon in Extras and play the game...

* These steps are only necessary if you want to hear the midi music from the original game. Sound effects and such will work without it and the game will play without it. Simply skip to step 4 and continue.

I will make a deb file of just the engine and desktop files this weekend and post it as well.
