As some of you might have seen something broke with my GOGmix. It returned 404 both when trying to update it and when trying to view it. I encountered the bug that introduced the problem when i was updating the list.

Today I found out that I can now edit the list again. All the content had been wiped but I've recreated it all from I backed up version on Internet Archive.

I hope you enjoy! Let me know if there's anything I'm missing.
I just noticed what looks like a new version of the GOG installer (Fallout Tactics).
Issues with this one under Linux:
- with Wine 1.4 at least, the installer crashes right away without "native" gdiplus.dll ("runtime error (at 130:148) access violation at address 7D5A1E48 in module gdiplus.dll")
- my old trick of declaring a handler for PDF files to disable the installation by default of Acrobat Reader/Fox it/SumatraPDF no longer works, the installation is still checked
- at the end of installation the installer switches screen resolution. On my computer this ends up powering down one of my screens, KDE moving all the windows over the ones of the other screen, huge mess :/

hyperagathon: If that were the purpose, we'd only be listing source ports and engine reimplementations.
If you take a moment and view the list, you'll notice it contains both DOSBox and ScummVM games, in addition to games that work under Wine - neither of these qualify under "run properly on Linux".
As an observation, neither of those will have source-code for a source port in most cases.

As an additional observation, anything running properly in ScummVM is running properly under Linux.

Depends on the games, really. If you've got source code accessible, a source port is preferable. However, most people will contend that if the games run "properly" under DosBOX or similar on Windows, it also runs "properly" on OSX and Linux as well in the same vein. Your position is part of the problem, not the solution, so you should probably re-evaluate it.

(As an aside, I do source ports for Indie studios (One of the devs for the HIB #2, in fact...) so I kind of do know what I'm talking about here.)

Please read the entire discussion, your bloated head has prevented you from understanding my "position".
@paldepind: I now the feeling, GOGmix edition seems a little brittle, specially with large lists, and then recreating it is painful, specially if it's the 5th or 6th time you recreate it :(

Don't know if my wish has been read (http://www.gog.com/wishlist/site/improve_gogmix_editing_reliability) or it's just some web developers work, but it seems to have improved recently (since save button is replaced with a wait sign during update).
