Chromebook and Project1999

[greenshag1979]

Thanks, I would appreciate any help and expertise.

I'm looking into using the dev mode on the chromebook to boot into Ubuntu from a flash drive. But I have no experience whatsoever with Linux, so the information still seems a little overwhelming.

I'm not even sure what I would need to do in order to even install any programs onto the machine after having Linux working correctly, but if someone had any kind of good tutorials or guides to follow, I can at least start learning while working on a project that will result in a fun experience at the end (ie playing P99 from my chromebook, lol).

The Samsung Chromebook uses an ARMv15 CPU. This is not Intel compatible, which means WINE will probably not be sufficient to run Project1999.

However, the ARMv15 CPU is capable of virtualization so if you can get Ubuntu running then you can try running Windows XP in virtualization. If it works with enough performance to run Project1999 (even the old Intel Atoms will run the game fine), you may be able to do this.

If I had one I'd be interested in taking a crack at it but I don't have one of the new Samsung Chromebooks. Although, the Intel based Chromebooks can run Windows and thus Project1999 (although, the reviews pretty much state that the quality of the Samsung is far better than the others.)
