How to install Daggerfall Unity on a Chromebook

on

In this guide, we'll walk you through the process of installing Daggerfall Unity on your Chromebook. Daggerfall Unity is a modern, open-source recreation of the classic RPG "The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall". This project brings the beloved game to modern systems with enhanced graphics and gameplay improvements.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, please note that this tutorial is specifically 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.

Additionally, you'll need the original game files (ROM) to play Daggerfall Unity. We'll show you where to place these files later in the guide.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Enable Linux Apps on Your Chromebook

If you haven't already enabled Linux apps on your Chromebook, follow these steps:

  1. Go to your Chromebook's Settings
  2. Click on the "About Chrome OS" section on the left panel
  3. Under the "Developer" section, choose "Set up Linux"
  4. Follow the on-screen instructions to enable Linux

2. Install Daggerfall Unity

Now that Linux is enabled, open a terminal from your app menu and run the following commands:

1) wget https://github.com/Interkarma/daggerfall-unity/releases/download/v1.1.1/dfu_linux_64bit-v1.1.1.zip
2) unzip dfu_linux_64bit-v1.1.1.zip -d daggerfall
3) chmod 755 daggerfall/DaggerfallUnity.x86_64

These commands will download the Daggerfall Unity package, unzip it into a new directory called 'daggerfall', and make the main executable file... well, executable.

3. Launch Daggerfall Unity

To launch the game, use the following command in the terminal:

4) /daggerfall/DaggerfallUnity.x86_64

You'll need to run this command every time you want to start the game.

Adding Game Files

To play Daggerfall Unity, you'll need to add the original game files. These should be placed in your Linux files directory. You can access this directory through your Chromebook's file manager.
