GLideN64 v2.0

EmuCR: GLideN64GLideN64 v2.0 is released. GLideN64 is a new generation, open-source graphics plugin for N64 emulators

GLideN64 v2.0 Changelog:
Time is come to set new Release tag to master branch. 20 months passed since the first major public release. List of improvements made since that time is huge. Thus this new release gets new major version. Some statistics: since previous public release
* 690 commits to master
* closed over 450 various issues

Fixes in combiner, blender, texture loading, frame buffer emulation eliminated graphics issues, which plagued N64 emulation since the beginning and until recently required use of software rendering for correct emulation. Of course, hundreds of GLideN64 own bugs was squashed on the way. Detailed information about new features of this release can be found in my New Public Release articles.

Public release 1.0 took 8 month of my hard full-time work. It became possible as result of successful crowd-funding campaign on Indiegogo.

Now I 'm working on the project as on my hobby, in my spare time. New major release took 20 months. It could take much more, but now I am not working alone. The project currently has 28 contributors.

  1. It'd be nice if this place would stop uploading to garbage spyware file hosts. Everytime you click on something on those pages, you get redirected and hope for the best. Is it so hard to use Mediafire, Filefactory or Mega?

    1. He's not uploading it to here, someone else is. Someone named Jei is doing it, so blame him or her.
