Describe the problem:

I've found two small (not gamebreaking) graphical glitches with Pilotwings 64

Transparency:
Some places that shouldn't be are partly transparent like the targets (the
ones you should hit with the missiles, the landing spots and the targets
you should hit with the cannon), they should be white and red, but instead
they're white and transparent. Also some part of the game world can  show
up as partly transparent sometimes, like seeing through the ground.

Motion blur like effect:
This one I'm not entirely sure, it was some time ago that I played
Pilotwings on an actual N64, but it feels wrong and I didn't see it using
Project64, and I don't see it in other games using mupen64plus (so it
shouldn't be related to Hz or FPS). It affect everything on the screen when
you're ingame (not in menus).

Please provide any additional information below.

Everything is with default settings, just the resolution and the controls
were changed.

I've attached a screenshot, it shows both the transparency problems (the
white circles are the targets, and you can see the water through the
ground) and the motion blur.

I just tried on the N64oid, and there is strangly the same bug than the other 
driver, glide64, a quadrangle behind the character (can be see at first start 
behind the delta plane (do they used your code ?).

Regarding N64iod aka the GPL violation - yes.

You can contact ari64 when you want to get in contact with the author of the 
actual armel port which yongzh had "stolen".

If you want an advanced graphics plugin with such advanced features then you 
have to support this campaign to reach more than 10000 dollar (7000 already 
gathered): https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/gliden64-graphics-plugin
