Overview
glN64 is Orkin’s first video plugin for N64 emulators. Thanks to its clean code and low performance requirements, it has been ported to other systems such as Android and the original Xbox.
Like Orkin’s later Direct64 plugin, glN64 was promising, showing good compatibility while needing less processing power than other video plugins.
Orkin has stopped all development, but he released the source code, which allowed others to port the plugin to other systems, fix problems and improve its compatibility.
