so because i couldnt find any info on the forum about harvest moon save the homeland i decided i would let people know what to dotoget ti to work. you need to enable the FFX hack inorder for the game to run without graphical problems. the game looks perfect with no graphical problems that i could see. i had the game running at 25-35fps average outside and 45-55 fps average inside. though im running a dualcore cpu so the game ran twice as fast as when i was only using a single core for some testing when i was trying to get other games to work without crashing. im sure this will help some people who cant figure out how to run the game properly. this kind fo thing makes you wonder if the FFX hack will work with any other games to make them run properly.
 
devs and testers already knew this (thanks to zerofrog telling us) but it was good of you to let others know :)
 
A note: Shinobi as well will have broken graphics if the NLOOP hack isn't used. But this fix is very uncommon.;)

i dont know what i did, but the game now runs twice as fast as it did before. sometimes even 3 times faster. i get 100-130 fps inside and about 45-55 fps outside. the game is completely playable now on my computer. my system specs are an AMD Athlon X2 4400+, Geforce 7900GTX, 2GB DDr 400 memeory in dualchannel mode. im not sure what i did since my first post where i said i was gettign 25-35 fps outside and 45-55 inside, as far a is can tell im using the same settings.

i figured i would post my current settings that are allowing me to get such high fps for people trying to run the game.

Graphics:
GSdx9 (MSVC 14.00, SSE2) 0.9.0
Resolution=Windowed
Render=Direct3D
Shader= Pixel Shader 3.0
Linear texture filtering
NLOOP 0 Hack
Everything else is unchecked/unselected

Sound:
P.E.Op.S SPU2 DSound Drive 1.4.0
Mode= 2: Use SPUasync
Reverb= 0: No Reverb
Interpolation= 2: Guassian interpolation
Everything else is unchecked/unselected

CPU:
Multi Threaded GS mode is CHECKED
Dual Core mode is CHECKED
Frame Limit is CHECKED (without it i can't get anywhere inside because im moving so fast)

Bios:
USA v1.60(07/02/02)

without the cpu settings i get 20-30fps outide and 40-50 fps inside. i didn't chang anything today when i started the game up again.

i hope this info helps someone.
