Several compatibility issues were fixed, and the interface was cleaned up, but the default plugins were largely inferior to earlier iterations, and even the core itself saw compatibility regressions in some games. However, these versions proved to be a mixed bag in comparison to the older, long-standing 1.6 release, and even the leaked 1.7 betas in some respects. Quickly afterward, version 2.1 was released. In 2013, however, zilmar, now the lone developer of Project64, released version 2.0, including its complete source code. Upon Jabo's departure from the project in 2011, most people came to regard Projec64 as being stuck in development limbo, if not completely dead. However, there were several development version leaks, most of which turned out to be unstable, prone to crashes, and full of performance and compatibility regressions, which cast doubt upon the competency of the developers. The only way to keep up with the latest developments was to donate $20 to obtain beta testing privileges. However, upon announcing the development of version 1.7, the project became closed off to most of the public. By version 1.6, it was touted as being not only highly compatible but also the most stable of the lot. For many years afterward, it was considered to be the best N64 emulator, with only Mupen posing any real competition. It quickly revolutionized the N64 emulation landscape. It first came out as a purely experimental emulator by developers zilmar and Jabo.
