zero0w Posted November 22, 2003 Report Share Posted November 22, 2003 GemRB is an Infinity Engine Emulator. The Infinity Engine is the Game Engine developed by BioWare Inc. used in games like Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale, Planescape Torment. The first scope of this project is to make a portable software which can emulate every function of this engine. GemRB will work on Unix/Linux Systems, MacOs X, and Windows. To play a game using GemRB you have to own a legal copy of it, since we do not distribute any part of the BioWare work. http://gemrb.sourceforge.net/ Don't hold your breath, it is still under development :unsure: .

Qchem Posted November 28, 2003 Report Share Posted November 28, 2003 Certainly an interesting project, I'll try it out when I eventually get some free time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOlson Posted November 29, 2003 Report Share Posted November 29, 2003 Wow. This is awesome. I can't wait for it to get to the point where I can let my wife play Planescape Torment again. ;) I am NOT installing WineX or Windows just so she can play that crappy game.

Guest JaseP Posted December 11, 2003 Report Share Posted December 11, 2003 We all know how you feel about wine/winex, but it DOES run Planescape Torment very well... This sounds like good news though. I hope it doesn't get toasted like the whole WarCraft engine clone project. But Bioware does support Linux pretty well (Neverwinter Nights and all), except for Knights of the Old Republic :( . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOlson Posted December 11, 2003 Report Share Posted December 11, 2003 I did try Planescape Torment in WineX because everyone said it worked so great, but it doesn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
