i just got the game then and it was like..227mb or something with several files and yeah in order to get it to work properly, you first have to download that graphics plugin for dolphin 1.03 and then you have to play the game, the start up runs at a whopping 100+fps and gets up to around 167fps, but as soon as the menu appears, the writing is scrambled and the game drops to 2-3 fps...i think its best to wait until a later release of the emulator. I love the harvest moon games, it is such a shame that i cannot buy it here where i live
Oh BTW, my system is.
3GHz pentium 4 HT
1GB pc 3200 DDR RAM
128mb Geforce 6600GT *AGP
400watt PSU
logitech 5.1 surround sound
Creative sound blaster audigy 5.1 sound card.
anything else im mising, because i know that the gamecube isnt any better than these specs at all
in fact the graphics card in a game cube is the equivillant of a Radeon 9600 i believe....so i heard on the release of the gamecube in a preview.
Ahwell, maybe im wrong, it doesnt matter, i know my system is good enough to run the game, ill just wait until a better version of dolphin is out, or some other emulator comes out that is sweet like dolphin and see how it goes, btw, thankyou very much to the people/person who made this wonderful emulator, excellent work, keep it up
