In 2015, zilmar created a public Project64 repository on GitHub, at last opening the gates for public contributions. Development picked up at break-neck speed and has yet to cease. Many of the issues with earlier versions of Project64 have now been fixed. It has been mostly ported to 64-bit, and there is even an effort underway to make it more portable and eventually work on non-Windows platforms. | In 2015, zilmar created a public Project64 repository on GitHub, at last opening the gates for public contributions.

Up to version 2.2, the official installer for PJ64 included opt-out malware in the installer. In July of 2016, the malware was removed from both the source code and installers.<ref>https://github.com/project64/project64/issues/468</ref> However, version 2.3 introduced a benign but irritating nagware screen that pops up when launching PJ64 after starting it multiple times, which grows more persistent with successive launches as a forced waiting period is installed. You can type "'''thank you from project64'''" as the notification code, or disable it by modifying <code>project64.cfg</code> to appear as follows: <pre>[Support Project64]Run Count=-1</pre> | Up to version 2.2, the official installer for PJ64 included opt-out malware in the installer.
