He also says:
Have fun with a regression free version of Project64 with a guide on setting up texture packs, mass patching ROMhacks, and most importantly, knowing that the features actually work.

Maybe you need to add the entries manually to the RDB?

As far as I know, he has said it's been specifically geared toward being compatible with hacks and hasn't come across any problems. If anything comes up, do us all a favor and let him know, he'll probably release an update

Is this emulator better than Mupen64Plus or Simple64 with this update?

You'll have to let me know, I won't be able to get my computer fixed right away due to financial struggles.

Ah, no problem. Basically the emulator has a file that is a database of the games it supports and the settings it should use. It's no uncommon that hacks require you to edit that file manually for the game to be visible on the ROM load dialogue and perform correctly.

Let me show you an example:

[4F1E88F7-4A5A3F96-C:4A]
Good Name=Wonder Project J2 [T]
Status=Compatible
32bit=Yes
Counter Factor=1
RDRAM Size=4

This is the entry in my RDB for Wonder Project J2, the fan translated version.

Edit: I don't see the point of using this. I can't even map my controller without it crashing. I have PJ 64 Dev version 4.0 and will continue to use that.

There is a workaround, but I couldn't tell ya if it works for Harvest Moon.

I think this should be its own fork.
