the Fullscreen setting in gemrb.cfg is not working, possibly will be deprecated. You have to set it in the original game INI file. e.g. in baldur.ini, torment.ini or icewind.ini.
GemRB indeed looks for its config file in several locations, among others:
Code:
./GemRB.cfg
~/.gemrb/gemrb.cfg
(beware of upper/lower letter case!)
But you can also use specific config file using the -c parameter, e.g.
Code:
gemrb -c ~/iwd.cfg
will use
Code:
/home/user/iwd.cfg
. So it should be easy to create e.g. two *.desktop files, each calling gemrb with different config file, and hence possibly with different game. No need to create graphical menus .
Alternatively you can create symbolic link, e.g. bg2 to point to gemrb binary and if you now type
Code:
bg2
gemrb will also look for
Code:
~/.gemrb/bg2.cfg
config file. Just saying ;-)
Anyway, feel free to come to #gemrb at freenode or to our forum, there is always somebody willing to talk about GemRB or the Infinity Engine games. Android ppl are already there .
9. Move gemrb.cfg to /home/user/.gemrb/gemrb.cfg by using command -> mv gemrb.cfg /home/user/.gemrb/
*Take note, you must be at the directory where you first placed gemrb.cfg like e.g. /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads
10. Run gemrb by using two command -> cd /usr/bin
-> gemrb
Just hope I did not make this up too complicated, this should make everything work but I'm sure I did miss out something
I'll continue to keep the post updated should I find out what I missed.
Hope you guys have some fun even though it might not be perfect enough.

gemrb
it can't find GemRB.cfg but ok's /home/usr/.gemrb/gemrb.cfg
it can't find the cache path and can't find the plugins path

Hey again, ok, so I've edited the config file, it's still looking for the cache in media/mmc1/Games/GemRB/bg2/cache even after I edited the config file to get it from somewhere else....
