Description-en: Open-source engine to run Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale and Planescape: Torment
GemRB (Game Engine Made with preRendered Background) is a new implementation
of the original Infinity Engine (the one of Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale,
Planescape: Torment, ...) to Linux/Unix, MacOS X and Windows with some
enhancements.
.
It means that you either need some of the original game's data
somewhere on your harddisk, or you can try to use the data from the
Dragonlance Total Conversion project.
.
The original game data has to be installed on a windows
partition and mounted to your Linux/Unix filesystem, installed on
windows and then copied to your filesystem, installed with WINE or
extracted manually from the CDs using the tool `unshield'.
.
Supported games: Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale series, Planescape:Torment.
