I really hope that someday we will be able to enjoy one of the greatest games of all time on our pandoras: Planescape: Torment.
Awesome. So, has anybody tried BG1 yet?
Should be finishable by now.

According the the GemRB team, BG1 can be finished.

Just as a reminder, IWD, BG1 and SoA can be completed.

It's just getting them to work on the Pandora

After some hours of fiddling, I am glad to report that Baldur's Gate 1 is working in GemRB 0.60 on my one nubber.
Maybe I can post a movie this evening.

Cheers.

Wow! Thank you very much for putting in the time and effort.

A video would be lovely!

[Nupfi]

Omg that would be so awesome!
So, was it hard to get it to work?
What did you had to to in order to keep it running?
So excited.

OK, I did a quick video. Lighting and audio sucks, kids banging on the table but hey, it's al I can do right now.

I installed angstrom on SD and compiled GemRB from source. It had a lot of dependencies which I installed through opkg.
Since I never used GemRB before the most minutes went into configuring that and installing BG1 to it.

The two minor problems i can see in BG now is the text being yellow(does not read to well on a yellowish background) and the sound stuttering when BG is loading.
Other than that it seems to work very well. I only played a bit until outside candlekeep so maybe a lot more problems will arise. But it looks good.

Well take a looksee.

I like those excited screams you were making throughout.

[fettouhi]

GemRb 0.6.1 has just been released by the way.

I'm going for a beer.

You deserve it, thanks for the vid

[Nupfi]

Wow, looking smooth to me.
Thanks a ton for uploading this!
I guess I'll have to go out for a beer now too... waiting sure is cruel.

Maybe the 0.6.1 release fixes some minor bugs like the yellow on yellow textboxes..
If you've got some free time left I would suggest you try Planescape Torment. Its so damn good.
Would try it out by myself but theres something missing... what was it again? yeah Pandora.

[skeezix]

how'd you set it up? For pickles build it never worked for me, maybe he gemrb guys fixed it. (hm, think it was bg2 for that matter..)

OMG ! This is great ! baldur's gate on a Pandora

I'll definitely be trying this out when I get my Pandora.

So I tried Baldur's Gate 2 as well. It is a lot slower than BG1 but it does work. Loading a savegame takes about 3 minutes though and the same problems I had with BG1 are here as well. Awfull sound when loading.
Also the bottom panel of the screen (ingame) does not display anything. I had to move a lot of files around to get it running and since gemrb.sourceforge has been down all evening I could not check if I missed some things.

I have only tried it at 500 MHz so in that aspect things look promising. I'll try some things the coming days to get it better. Maybe try GemRB 0.6.1.

Now it's time for a little nap and a dream about Imoen
