Hi all,
I wrote a shell script for installing Daggerfall a couple of months ago and finally got around to adapting it for Arena. I tested a few different core types and they all seem to have pretty much the same speed to me (with cycles at max), so I just left it at "auto". I know there's more to the core type than just speed, so as with anything else, if you have any suggestions please let me know.
Cycles are set to max, so the game will probably run pretty fast by default. It runs about how I remember it on my Pentium 60 so I'm used to it, but your mileage may vary. Tested on a Phenom II X4 @ 3.0ghz, 8GB RAM running Ubuntu 16.10 / Cinnamon.
I am apparently still not authorized to post links, so replace the [dot] in the following:

I hope someone finds this helpful. Cheers.
