I have recently purchased a chrome book and would like it to run DarkWind.
Can anyone give me some tips, it would really be appreciated.

Return the Chromebook and get a regular windows netbook.

Its literally a worse version of an tablet, but it has a keyboard...

Thanks to Jarkko Niemi's post called 'Works on Beta Steam' i was encouraged to try his method. I had enabled Linux on my chrome book and installed Steams Beta version.

Hell ya, now i can play Darkwind on my Chrome Book.

When the DW music started, the angels sing.

Hey this is awesome! I have access to a Chromebook and would love to be able to play again!

(had temporary access to a pre-64 bit Mac for a few days - had a blast!)

So I need to enable Linux... Will look into that!

Yeah - it was fun, but small screen, slower, etc.

Gonna get my hands on another older MacBook and just keep it for Dark Wind, cause it was a blast!!! :-)

I bought an older thinkpad for a couple hundred duckets.

It's my Linux Darkwind machine.

I have machines 'come across my work bench' from time to time - had one I was using last year, but needed it for another project.

I'll get another older MacBook soon, just for Dark-Wind... :-)
