Trying to currently start up running a perfect evaluation run, just curious what others thoughts on the requirements might be. I plan on using exploits where possible, any infinite affection character will be part of the run I'm sure, also Horse and Dog race exploit.
I was aiming for the ones listed out inside kirbyarm's faq on gamefaqs.

Also is Bizhawk allowed for emulation, or are we only using Project 64 1.7 ? Just wondering if I need Video capture software, as Bizhawk has it built in.
Right on, did some testing an Bizhawk won't run the game at a steady lag free setting, also running into various problems with PJ64 1.7 and Twitches Open broadcast software.
Discoveries - Menuing is much faster inside the chicken coup then outside around field.
- Fishing is very hard. Not sure if the both emulators have a latency issue, or maybe because I'm using an LCD TV that is not 120+Hrz. Catching 201+ fish won't be impossible, but if I'm missing 50% of the fish it's going to compromise the speed run.
Have to abuse milk and eggs as much as possible, there double count towards the 9001 drop count is crucial. In a perfect run they will account for more then 5500 of my crop count while only needing to deposit 2750 items. After that its all green house and grass in the field, won't need the green house till late Yr 1 fall. So many tomatoes.
My initial spring year 1 play through was 2 hours plus, I need to find better routes for affection. At 4001 total I need roughly 19 per day, once I have all the festivals, building events, Karen glitch, Jeff glitch, Shipper Mayor M wife May vegetable festival glitch factored in I think I won't need to do much Affection farming in the first 2 months. Every person I can glitch to 255, or get 255 affection from a glitch is 3 less per day.
Pre-greenhouse I need the gold watering can, shouldn't be a problem. I can easily just spam out exp before bed daily. This saves time overall as moving then watering a standard 3x3 crop plot is slow. With the amount of crops I need to grow an harvest (3500+ give or take 100) levelling up the watering can purely on plants is impractical.

Note that those are not the party pic requirements. They are laid out here: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/197528-harvest-moon-64/59252523
Statistics
-Max Stamina: Must be 190 or higher, which can only be done by collecting at least 6 or more of the 10 possible power nuts throughout the game.
-Happiness Meter: Must be 250 or higher (Max is 255).
-Dog's affection: Must be 200 or higher. The dog's affection does NOT count toward the General Affection Total requirement below, and also the dog does not have to be fed or cared for.
-Wife's affection: Must be 250 or higher (Max is 255). Your wife's affection DOES count toward the General Affection Total requirement below!
Events
-You must be married to one of the five marryable girls (actual wife modifier byte AND marriage ceremony boulder byte).
-You must have had a baby with your wife, and the baby must be born. The baby does not have to be sitting up, or walking, or talking (baby born boulder byte).
Affection
General Affection Total (GAT): Your wife absolutely has to be at 250 or higher affection which is included in this total affection requirement. Baby affection after all those ridiculous rumors you've heard is NOT necessary to increase to any certain level whatsoever. The baby can be at 0 affection, so long as your wife is at 250 or higher and you meet the GAT requirements.
Misc.
-You require having at least 1 adult chicken, it does not have to be outdoors, it does has to be fed though. It cannot be in Starved state the day of or the day after evaluation.
-You require having all 6 house extensions present and completely built (the 6 you can buy from the carpenters at the carpenter's house).
-384 squares or more of your 480 possible squares on the farm land must be grass in any stage of growth (can be cut, eaten, half grown, fully grown, it does not matter as long as it is grass). This is EXACTLY 80% of your field.
