Fyi, if you're having trouble getting BG1 and 2 to run on modern systems (including Linux/Mac), consider GemRB. I just got the classic GOG edition (not the EE) of BG1 to work with it on Linux when the 9 year old WINE version GOG bundles it with crashed the game on launch. Works very easily. A 26MB download, paste the file into the game folder and run it.
Edit: Came back here later to add that it does work on BG1, but it's buggy. Like I'm in chapter 5 as I write this and it's playable, but the install will behave differently than normal.
