In this guide, we'll walk you through the process of installing Deltarune Chapter 2 on your Chromebook. Deltarune is an engaging role-playing game created by Toby Fox, the developer behind the critically acclaimed Undertale. This tutorial is designed to complement our video guide, providing detailed written instructions for those who prefer text-based learning or need a quick reference.

System Requirements

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

Installation Process

Follow these steps carefully to install Deltarune Chapter 2 on your Chromebook:

1. First, we need to add 32-bit architecture support:

   sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386

2. Next, we'll add the WineHQ repository key:

   wget -nc https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/winehq.key && sudo apt-key add winehq.key

3. Add the WineHQ repository:

   echo "deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/debian/ bookworm main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/wine_chrome_os_made_simple.list

4. Update the package list:

   sudo apt update

5. Install Wine:

   sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-stable

6. Configure Wine:

   winecfg

7. Unzip the Deltarune package:

   unzip LTS\ DELTARUNE\ Chapter\ 1\&2\ \(PC\ Version\ 2\).zip

8. Finally, run Deltarune:

   wine start DELTARUNE.exe  --disable-framerate-limit

Each of these commands plays a crucial role in setting up the environment for Deltarune. We're using Wine, a compatibility layer that allows Windows applications to run on Linux-based systems like your Chromebook's Linux container. The final command launches the game with a frame rate limiter disabled, which can help improve performance on some systems.

Troubleshooting Tips

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

• Ensure your Chromebook's Linux container is up to date by running sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade before starting the installation process.
• If Wine installation fails, try restarting your Chromebook and attempting the installation again.
• For performance issues, experiment with different Wine configuration settings using the winecfg command.
