Users here are expected to help themselves first, before asking for help. Documentations are generally quite plentiful and they generally take the form of step by step instructions that you just need to follow exactly.

Asking to be spoonfed is one of the worst sins to be committed in foss communities. You have to at least show that you've given your best effort before asking for help. Asking specific questions would help too.

It's not hard, please try it out.... and welcome.

If you fail to follow most basic directions, then you shouldn't ask ANY questions here, because it seems to be predestinated to be pure spam.
If you are so sad you couldn't install the game on dosbox, and play it on N900, then I have great news for you:
On non-OC-ed N900, under dosbox even Titus the Fox lags like hell (even with all sophisticated bufferrin, caching etc.).. and it's a game for a 386 processor (a lesson of counting - 8080, 8086, 80186, 80286, 386, 486, pentium 1 - it doesn't know what is 486+100.0 :P, pentium 2, pentium 3 and further you probably know). So for your info - you can even install windows 95 on dosbox on OC-ed N900 but it would have low sense unless you want to play hearts, and don't mind lags. (there exist minesweeper for arm-wine so no minesweeper advice).

If any game have to be smooth on N900 and it's requirements are higher than CGA graphic card, It needs to be totally rewritten for linux and ARM processor, unless it's already open source. if it's OSS then it still have a lot of work to make it work on ARM processor and as low resolution as 800x480. So go for courses on linux for aunties, and when you pass there may already the game ported, or at least the new phone which handle the game through an emulator. If you have more problems on passing the course than I suspect then you may be able to buy phone on technology higher than silicon transistors. We will have much more peace here as you seem to fail first semester at least once. So go studying and go back if your abilities is significally better than my grandma (and she seems to be still able to learn, so you need learn faster than she :P).

meanwhile thanks all guys (and ladies) for all the work done, It's really heroic! If there are "free" (in terms on time) devs, please go on vcmi.eu (it's open source project to recreate HoMM3 engine) and please work on interface features which would allow it to work on N900 (it's already free of problems with endianess, but it seems to need at least 800x600 to run with current interface, and there's not enough devs willing to implement low-res interface now).

For her majesty Catherine Gryphonheart!

EDIT: why it censored the cat female?
