Download Harvest Moon - Intuitive Ranch Master ROM Hack

Harvest Moon is a series notorious for its numerous bugs, and while most of the bugs in the SNES entry exist as exploits and can either be utilized or ignored to fit the players preferred play-style, a few bugs in the ranch master rate calculation have long forced completionists to have to choose between achieving an unintuitive "perfect" game or settling for a "100%" game. (A "perfect" game could only be achieved by deliberately limiting the shipped crops and girls' love to just below 512, as a bug in the programming ignored the higher bits.)

Harvest Moon - Intuitive Ranch Master With Bugs and Exploits v1.3:
With this fix, players will no longer be penalized for shipping more than 511 of any crop type or for having any of the girls' love above 511 -- enabling players to achieve both a "perfect" and "100%" game simultaneously. This also makes achieving a "perfect" game far more intuitive and removes the hassle of having to skip to the ending repeatedly to check scores.
This fix does not change any other functionality in the game. Shipping more than 999 of any type of crop will still result in the text appearing garbled. Also, each girl?s love will still max-out at 999 and the "......Th-thank you." message cannot be seen in her diary without cheating.
Players will no longer be penalized for having more than 655,350G (added in version 1.3).

Harvest Moon - Intuitive Ranch Master + Diary Fix + Shipped Crops Fix.ips v1.3:
Causes the "......Th-thank you." message to appear in a girl's diary once her love reaches 999 (instead of 1000 as was originally coded).
Prevents shipped crop numbers from incrementing above 999, ensuring no text will be garbled.

- only allowing dog to count one hug per day
- updated power berries to be picked up automatically after they spawn
- updated chickens to be non-solid (allow player to move through them like chicks)
- added support for chickens laying eggs outside (two if they're happy, where they're happier the more they're outside)
- updated logic for cows being cranky and chickens getting eaten from wild dogs to actually require being fenced in
- the more days you've hugged your dog, the more area the dog will protect against wild dogs, regardless of fencing

- digging up moles no longer cause cows to possibly get cranky
- in-game hour to last 20 real-world seconds instead of 15 real-world seconds.

- hot springs now restore stamina by one point each time four in-game minutes pass (rather than each time you enter the hot springs)
- hot springs will now also increase happiness by one point for ever in-game hour that passes
- buying a cow no longer prevents you from also buying a chicken
- buying a chicken no longer prevents you from also buying a cow
- you can return to buy another cow after returning to your ranch to name the first cow
- reimbursing player 5000g if paid-for cow was not delivered by the end of the day (due to cutscene ending day automatically)
- speeding up text if A/B/X/Y/L/R are held down
- forcing horse to be idle for 2 seconds after dismounting
- forcing horse to be idle for 4 seconds after using saddle to ship item
- now allowing game to continue after end of game (mostly untested)
- limiting number of gifts you can give to each girl to 1 per day
