I was asked for better instructions
1. Put your chrome book into developer mode 2. enable 'unknown sources ' 3. Download the. Apk file and save it to your DOWNLOAD folder (unless you have play store installed then you can just download and install from there) Pls note that DOSBOX is free but DOSBOX TURBO is a payed apk. Both are readily available but I do not condone the download and use of pirated apk's. That is your choice 4. Download and install 'solid explorer'. Chrome OS has a built in file explorer but for some reason it will not let you install. Apk files with it. I suspect it's Googles way of forcing you to install everything via the Play Store. ; but a lot of cheaper chrome book knock offs don't come with it :( 5. Sideload the DOSBOX apk by running 'solid explorer ' and navigating to the 'DOWNLOAD ' folder and clicking on the. Apk. Select package installer and install the. Apk 6. Download Jeff vavasour's coco2b or coco3 emulator and unzip it into its own folder. Rename the folder coco for ease of use. Now move the new folder 'coco' and place it in the download folder on your chromebook 7. Download the appropriate ROM (coco2,coco3) from the archive site and place in the Coco folder 8. Open DOSBOX (TURBO). It will default drive C: to the Download folder but you must still mount the drive to use it 9. Use the command MOUNT C:/MNT/DOWNLOAD C: CD COCO COCO Note. : MOUNT is mounting the DOWNLOAD folder as drive C Entering C: changes you to this drive Entering CD COCO moves you to the emulator folder that you created called COCO COCO executes the emulator 10. Add any. Dsk image to the COCO folder and insert into the appropriate drive of the emulator using the MENU command 'L' Load and run coco programs just like you would on VCC Pls remember that Chrome OS,unlike Android OS, will need to have the Developer mode switch flipped and 99 percent of the time the apk's will need to be sideloaded. You will see a warning notice every time you boot your chromebook up in developer mode but you can skip this by pressing 'CTRL D' to skip it
