I can confirm that Haegemonia Gold Edition works without noticable problems in Wine.

Far Cry runs flawlessly on WINE as far as I can tell.

Might and Magic VI: The mandate of Heaven works perfectly in Wine, as does Lords of Magic. Admittedly, I did, after three days of continuous gameplay, experience a crash, but god only knows what it could be. It´s certainly more stable than Vista, although the tiniest possibility is that Windows XP sp3 is more stable.

In addition, the Might and Magic DOS games that come with MMVI work perfectly in DOSbox and are every bit as stable in linux DOSbox as they are in windows DOSbox. Heroes I, II, and III have already been mentioned.

Hi! I've updated the list with your recommendations.

I'll try out Rayman 2 in Wine when I get the time.

Damn, since about a week the GoG installer segfaults on my box, right after the file integrity check, be it under plain Wine, PlayOnLinux or CrossOver Game.
"Error
Access violation at address 004D8212 in module 'setup_game_name_here.exe'. Write of address 00400000."
All games, even ones that used to install fine.

On the other hand, games already installed play fine. And other programs that also use Inno Setup install fine too (for example, Inno Setup 5.2.3 itself).

I saw this problem mentionned 3 times in the forum, by Windows users I suppose, twice to say that support didn't answer yet, and once to say it was fixed by disabling firewall (?).
I'm a bit lost... :/

(I should mention: Debian Sid, 64 bit, on an Asus X5DIN laptop)

Heroes of Might and Magic 2 works natively with fheroes2

You could try using Innounp through Wine to extract GOG installers manually. Some games might not work properly when extracted like this but at least some of them should be usable.

Mmmmh, that has a huge taste of workaround...
Oh well, it's not like I care about uninstallation and stuff, so after some Perl scripting to parse install_script.iss, I managed to copy the files in the right place and create a .reg to complete the installation :)

drstupid: Painkiller: Black works well in Wine. Installed to a new wineprefix and used winetricks to install d3dx9; edit drive_c\Program Files\GOG.com\Painkiller Black\Bin\config.ini to change your resolution (the line is Cfg.Resolution, I am using "1920X1080" fine.) Run winecfg and add a profile for Painkiller.exe, graphics settings to emulate a virtual desktop and match your resolution settings, and choose your audio driver. I run Ubuntu so I choose the OSS driver and left it on Full hardware acceleration. I use padsp to run the OSS sound from wine through PulseAudio to get sound.

To start Painkiller I'm running a script which contains:

#!/bin/sh
export WINEPREFIX=/home/username/.wine-painkiller
cd $WINEPREFIX/drive_c/Program\ Files/GOG.com/Painkiller\ Black/Bin/
padsp wine ./Painkiller.exe
I just installed wine 1.3.29 in my arch linux machine (x86_64), I installed in a clean prefix and the game runs out of the box. I didn't even need to install a native library through winetricks.

We should find another way to create a database (or just be responsible and use appdb.winehq.org), searching inside a thread is so bad.

My current wine (1.3.29) has no problem with the GOG installer.
I've had some segfaults as well, by trying to run the installer on a non-executable partitiion or to install to a location I did not own. My standard settings are set to WinXP, virtual desktop 1024x768(look in the graphics tab of your wine config.).
Maybe this info will help you on the way to get a working wine.
If you are afraid to mess-up your primary wine profile, try wibom (wine bottle manager), to create another wine prefix that you can experiment with. You can scrap the prefix it if you're not satisfied and start with something that looks like a fresh Windows install (to the programs you run it on).
A good way to troubleshoot programs that misbehave on wine is to run them from the terminal: wine <program-name.exe>. Mostly you'll get some hint why the program did not run it's course.
If you can't solve it that way, just visit Freenode at #winehq (#wine is off-limits).

It would be great if the dosboxed installers would be platform-neutral (Java perhaps?). At the moment it's not a real issue, but I might be tempted to run a very exotic OS in the future, say Haiku or QNX perhaps. It would be a sign of respect towards the other OS'es (just look at the number of likes on the Linux-compatible/ Mac-compatible Gog-mixes...

Darklands works in DOSBox, but you might have to play around to get the MIDI sound working.

About neverwinter nights diamond edition:

There are two threads that are a simple to follow and belong to gog users:

You should point them there ;)

Just to let everyone know, I think I've found the root of the problem...
I store my GoG downloads on an external drive, and at some point I must have added the "noexec" flag to its mount options for extra safety...
It seems I learned the hard way that it can have an impact on programs running under Wine too :(
I feel a little bit stupid :P But I hope it may help someone else with the same "004D8212" problem :)

P.S.: actually I wonder if this flag has not been changed by some distro update, because it's nowhere to be found in my /etc/fstab...

Hi there! Awesome Gogmix, hope you start updating it again :O

Here are a couple of games that are missing, and running fine on my 64-bit Ubuntu:

B-17 Flying Fortress, I'd give it platinum rating with Wine (flawless, no need to install anything but the game)
Darklands, flawless with DOSbox
Redneck Rampage, flawless with DOSbox
Zork Anthology, perfect with DOSbox or Frotz http://frotz.sourceforge.net/
