This is incredible. This was the promise of the proclamations of "the metaverse" or interchangeable crypto game items/characters, but is using none of those things. Like Ready Player One come to life without the hype.
Curious how easy the setup is for gamers who are non-engineers

Wrap it in an API, sell Mario 64 as a service.

Looks like this has been around for a while now, are there any interesting projects using it?

So let me get this straight, is the intent of this so that if you have some game like Call of Duty, you could use this to just add Mario running around in there jumping around like it was SM64?

I'd love the Perfect Dark recompilation working under GL 2.1:
