I dunno.. i have BG2 (Windows version), but its an already installed version with a 3rd party Widescreen hack on it and the expansions... several months ago I threw it in a simple Wineskin (http://wineskin.doh123.com) wrapper and it ran without needing anything special done really.  I haven't tried in a Wineskin 2.0 beta wrapper yet, but theoretically it'll run good.  That said, just know Wineskin isn't supported here, though I'm the main support channel for it and sometimes answer questions here... theres no need to clog up the forum (or mailing list) with posts about it.

My whole purpose in starting Wineskin was to let people use Wine and make "ports" the same way Transgaming does with Cider but they wont share it with anyone except game companies for big bucks.
