Hi everybody!

PlayOnLinux and PlayOnMac 4.0.17 are now available! Here is the change log:

Support for Good Old Games (www.gog.com)


PlayOnLinux and PlayOnMac are now able to interact with your gog.com account. They can download the game you've bought directly from gog.com's website.
Here are some screenshots (on Mac OSX, the feature is the same on Linux)

MS-DOS games support!


We've made for you a special wine package (wine 1.4 dos support) which contains the famous DOSBox emulator. PlayOnLinux and PlayOnMac sont are now able to run DOSBox programs into a virtual drive, and in a transparent way:
