My desktop is having issues.. + I don't have sound anymore for whatever reason on that thing.. I'm sure MapleRoyals doesn't take as much to run unlike other popular games so I'm curious if my chromebook can run Royals without bad stuff happening If anyone can tell me thanks <3
Theoretically, it can since Chrome OS is based in Linux, but its not really practical to do. It'll take a lot to get it to work and it probably wouldn't run well if you ever did get it running.
Nope. I've tried. You could use Remote Desktop and link your Chromebook to your desktop and control your desktop on your Chromebook, but the Chromebook was never made to support games.
I mean MapleRoyals is a 2-D game, graphics aren't intense at all. Is it how much it takes to run thats the issue? If I can play Royals with little issue, then I would be intent on installing Linux on my chromebook so I can play it My Chromebook has 2 GB of Ram and 2.16 GHZ just saying I'm on forums on normal Maplestory and they're running Maplestory fine with the same or even less RAM and GHZ
I'm pretty sure if you sideload Linux, you'll be able to run it. I've attached a guide below on how to do that but keep in mind I've never personally attempted this. Your computer may not be strong enough to keep Linux running along with Royals at the same time. ---------------------------------------------- NOTE: I take absolutely no responsibility for the actions you take here. You are responsible for any modifications you do to your computer. I take no responsibility for the failure and/or any issues of your system. ---------------------------------------------- You can sideload Linux in order to take advantage of Wine, which is the software that MapleRoyals uses to make a mac client. You'll have to download the Windows version and create your own Linux Wine client. Here is a guide to install Linux on a Chromebook: Entering Developer Mode Disclaimer: This process was completed on an HP Chromebook 11. Chromebooks with Intel processors may have more Linux app compatibility than those with ARM processors. Installing Linux on a Chromebook requires the use of the Chrome OS developer mode, an insecure booting of the platform for the purpose of higher-level access, developer programming, and other testing. To enter developer mode on second-generation Chromebooks: Press the Esc, Refresh, and Power keys at the same time Press Control-D and you will be prompted to reboot in developer mode (Warning: this will wipe the current Chrome OS settings) Press the Enter key to begin the conversion to developer mode. After five to seven minutes, the Chromebook will reboot to a screen indicating your OS is insecure. Press Control-D to boot into developer mode. Converting to Developer Mode will wipe the current installation and settings of Chrome OS Not Just For Salad Crouton (link) is an exploit written to allow a host of Linux distributions to be installed on Chrome OS without overriding the original operating system. The small utility is a free download from GitHub. In order to use it: Using Terminal can be intimidating, but this process is just a few easy commands While in developer mode: Open a Terminal session by pressing the Control-Alt-T keys simultaneously In the Terminal, type shell Enter sudo sh -e ~/Downloads/crouton -t xfce Linux will download, extract, and install its required system files. This process can take 20-30 minutes to complete You will be asked to choose a username and password for the Linux installation When complete, you can enter sudo startxfce4 to start the Linux desktop Remember the username and password you choose when installing as you will need it to make modifications to the programs and system. Crouton will download and install the necessary system files for the Linux distribution The XFCE-based install chosen above is somewhat sparse, because it’s meant to run well on low-level components like those found in Chromebooks, and it uses few system resources. Crouton is compatible with multiple Linux versions, such as Ubuntu, Kali and Debian To see the list of distributions compatible with Crouton, enter the command: sh -e ~/Downloads/crouton -r list. To install a different distribution, enter the command: rsudo sh -e ~/Downloads/crouton -r insert distribution name XFCE is a barebones Linux install designed to run on low-level system components like those found in a Chromebook. To get back to Chrome OS once in the Linux environment, you can either log out of the Linux desktop or, for side-by-side functionality, press Ctrl+Alt+Arrow Right to swap between the Chrome OS and Linux instances. Guide taken from tutsplus.com. Afterwards, download Wine (link) and create a Linux client using the Windows version.
Short answer: Probably not. Long answer: Some Chromebooks use ARM CPUs and not x86/x86_64 CPUs like most computers. (If you don't know what type of CPU you have, look up your Chromebook model and check.) If it is x86, then virtualization or dual-booting *might* be possible and much easier to attempt. (Wine will not work on ChromeOS due to how it sandboxes programs and is unlikely to work in the near future.) If it's an ARM CPU (which is probably the case), then it might be doable, but very unlikely. If QEMU works on ChromeOS, you could probably run an XP virtual machine that you can install MapleRoyals in. Otherwise, you would need to dual-boot another Linux distro like Ubuntu or Mint (any distro is fine but Ubuntu and Mint are more user-friendly, though the software might be outdated) and follow a guide on running Wine in QEMU. (Wine only works on x86, so QEMU will be used to run it on ARM.) From there you follow another guide on getting MapleStory/MapleRoyals to work in Wine. Your best option would be to use remote access software to control your desktop from the chromebook. (or just fix the desktop) Running MapleRoyals on the Chromebook might not be possible, but you're free to try. Just remember that we take no responsibility if anything goes wrong.
