Compatibility Check

Before we begin, it's important to note that this tutorial is specifically designed for Chromebooks with an Intel or AMD CPU that support Linux Apps. Unfortunately, this method won't work on Chromebooks with an ARM64 architecture CPU. If you're unsure about your Chromebook's compatibility, you can check our list of all currently supported Chromebooks with Linux Apps (Crostini) support.

Video Tutorial

We've prepared a detailed video tutorial to guide you through each step of the installation process. We recommend following along with the video as you go through this written guide for a comprehensive understanding of the procedure.

Installation Steps

Here are the commands you'll need to run in your terminal to install Friday Night Funkin' - Psych Engine 1.0. We'll explain each step in detail below.

1. sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
2. sudo apt update
3. sudo apt install wine winbind
4. winecfg
5. wget https://github.com/ShadowMario/FNF-PsychEngine/releases/download/1.0/PsychEngine-Windows64.zip
6. unzip PsychEngine-Windows64.zip -d psych10
7. cd psych10/PsychEngine && wine PsychEngine.exe fixedvblank_mode=0

Step-by-Step Explanation

1. The first command enables 32-bit architecture support on your system. This is necessary because some components of Wine (which we'll install later) require 32-bit libraries.

2. This command updates your system's package lists to ensure you have the most recent information about available packages.

3. Here, we're installing Wine and Winbind. Wine is a compatibility layer that allows you to run Windows applications on Linux, which is crucial for running the Windows version of Friday Night Funkin' on your Chromebook.

4. This command launches the Wine configuration tool. It creates necessary files and folders for Wine to function properly.

5. We use wget to download the Psych Engine zip file directly from the official GitHub repository.

6. This command unzips the downloaded file into a new directory named 'psych10'.

7. The final command changes to the Psych Engine directory and launches the game using Wine. The 'fixedvblank_mode=0' parameter is used to prevent potential display issues.

Troubleshooting Tips

If you encounter any issues during the installation process, here are a few things to try:

• Ensure your Chromebook's Linux environment is up to date by running sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade before starting the installation process.
• If Wine installation fails, you might need to add the Wine repository. You can do this by following the instructions on the WineHQ Wiki.
• In case of graphics-related issues, try adjusting Wine's graphics settings using the winecfg command.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You should now have Friday Night Funkin' - Psych Engine 1.0 up and running on your Chromebook. This installation not only allows you to enjoy the game but also opens up possibilities for modding and creating custom content.
