GemRB is downloadable from their website for the iPad.

Anyone get this working on the 5.1.1 jailbreak? It just crashes for me on the iPad 3.

Downloaded the latest safe build just now; plan to have one of my Baldur's Gates installed sometime in the next few days.

Good stuff.
If you have the time, can you describe the install process for us, or maybe provide a link with detailed instructions?

I jailbroke my iPad 3 yesterday, first time ever, and I'm a bit clueless about a lot of stuff jailbreak-wise.
I have boxed versions of BG 1 & 2 and Icewind Dale and would love to try one or more of them on my iPad.

What I'm a bit worried about is the menus and text size in these games when playing on the iPad. Are they comfortably readable, or should I wait for the sanctioned Baldur's Gate release later this summer?
Don't want to spend a lot of time and effort getting these games to run just for a gimmick. It's important to be able to read the text in these games without straining the eyesight..

If/when I have the time to install in the first place, then yeah.

I understand your concern, but my gut feeling is that probably you should do both - try to port the boxed versions straight across, just for the experience of saying "Yeah, I've done such-and-such on my jailbroken iPad" - and also buy the new version to support new work.

Oh, I'm gonna buy the iOS port later this summer. No doubt about that.

I'll do a bit of googling and see if a comprehensive step by step instruction set is available for the jailbreak version too.

Thanks for your answer.

Perhaps I'm just being skeptical but I feel like you're a liar and you have NOT ported IWD to your pad. You refuse to provide aide, and have provided no photographic evidence at all. I'm calling you out.💩

And I am calling you out for being too lazy/technologically challenged to do a simple google search on this topic. Plenty of people have gotten it working on their ipads already.
