# GLOVER-R: a native recompilation of Glover

> GLOVER-R recompiles Glover for Windows and Linux from a user-supplied Nintendo 64 ROM, using a game-specific patch pipeline that checks hooks against original instructions. It adds widescreen rendering, frame interpolation, configurable controls and a modern camera. The author reports Windows gameplay testing; Linux and Steam Deck gameplay testing remains pending.
