Graphical errors in Dobutsu no Mori

[NeoKitsune]

I already searched the forum for some information on this, and the information wasn't all that clear. Very sorry if this has been asked a billion times. (I did find out how to make the menus actually show up while searching- yay!)

In Dobutsu no Mori (Animal Forest), there are massive glitches on the inventory menu and any of the catalog pages where models are displayed. It's basically a big black square in the upper left hand corner. (EDIT: Forgot to mention, the cursor does the same thing.) Has a way to fix this been figured out yet? Just about everything else seems to be just fine, apart from the long pause when bringing up the inventory screen, which also happens in Zelda. (I have disabled the FPS limit, so it's a little shorter of a wait now.)

In case anyone would want/need to know, here's my system specs...
Pentium III processor, 512MB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce Ti 4200... uh... I can't think of anything else that would pertain to this.

Yet another edit: Meep. Now the game stops when I enter my house (just sits on a blank screen), when it didn't earlier... has anyone else encountered that problem?

Um, yeah. The date on the title screen says 2001. It's the Japanese version of course, seeing how the original didn't make it here.

And it seems I can't enter -any- of the four player houses anymore, when I could when I first started. I didn't reset or reboot the emulator between the time it worked and the time it didn't... the screen just goes black and the frame rate shoots up to around 500fps.

EDIT: Got some more specific details about the house problem... I can enter my house without any problem up until I finish working for Tanukichi/Nook. After that, I can't go in anymore. Not even after upgrading it. I really do hope it's not a bad ROM... I was only able to find it in two places- one of which didn't work. Blah.
