GemRB (Game engine made with pre-Rendered Background) is a portable open-source implementation of Bioware's Infinity Engine.
It was written to support pseudo-3D role playing games based on the Dungeons & Dragons ruleset (Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale series, Planescape: Torment). It should run on GNU/Linux, Microsoft Windows, OS X, possibly other UNIX derivatives and more. It is licensed under the GPL.
Features
- Almost full compatibility with bg1, bg2 and iwd1 (can be played from start to end)
- Partial compatibility with pst and iwd2
- Extensible plugin-based design
- Many limitations of the original engine(s) were removed
- High portability, including improvements for touch based input

Excellent as for free source is complete source (it drives all famiiar behavior of BG2 within). Suspicious of PYTHON (clown cart downloads and point object unix changes): i checked the 45,000 lines of .py they are 100% gameplay-only (stats and window image putting) related i doubt could sustain a virus if one got in. Also there is no networking socks in .c code. -1*: I compiled with these pre-installed: openal-soft-1.24.2 and SDL (1.2, 2.24, 3.2.2). source for "dragon lance editor" is windows only - and only .exe are in the zip. Demo showed warnings in xterm idk - but it played very well in linux. i was forced into building gemrb-0.93 (not newest) i don't remember why - some new ubuntu incompat junk added to 0.94. little documentation as to how to extend or edit levels (rts read the source) on main website not in src dl. there's so little good without a "freaking big problem with depends" on SF idk what gets 5 stars if GemRB doesn't. another nice this as long as you have py lua SDL there is not "games with grabbing .git off internet" to build it. It builds w/o internet access.

I have installed BG1 BG2 IWD1 AND IWD2 on my laptop. then installed GEMRB onto my kindle fire hd. I then copied all the games over to the GEMRB file. I then run GEMRB but all it can find is the standard 3 things ie BG2 demo. What am I doing wrong?
