GemRB is a portable open-source reimplementation of Bioware's Infinity Engine, the engine behind Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale, and Planescape: Torment. It runs the original games (using their data files) on many platforms with bug fixes, widescreen support, touch input, and improved extensibility for mods.
Use cases
- play baldur's gate on linux
- run planescape torment on android
- play icewind dale widescreen on mac
- open source infinity engine reimplementation
- run classic bioware rpgs without the original exe
- develop mods for infinity engine games
- play baldur's gate 2 on a handheld device
When to choose
- you own original Infinity Engine game data and want to play it on modern or non-Windows platforms
- you want widescreen, higher resolutions, touch input, or bug fixes beyond the original engine
- you want a more extensible, moddable platform for Infinity Engine mods
- you want to study or build upon a reimplementation of a classic RPG engine
When to avoid
- you don't own any original Infinity Engine game data (only a small demo is bundled)
- you want to play the Enhanced Editions — support is experimental and mostly unsupported
- you need multiplayer, which is not supported
- you want a general-purpose engine for creating brand-new games from scratch
