Interesting bug but this is not due to mupen64Plus. :)

Did you have this prob with others emulators?

This has been happening with all emulators for a long time. Project64,
mupen64plus, and others I can't even recall their names.

You should find help in n64 forums.

This is a bug tracker for mupen64plus emulator.

There's been plenty of forum topics about this, but nothing resolved. Any
emulator, video plugin, or rom variation I've used has the same result.

Any emulator, video plugin, or rom variation I've used has the same result. << This
is normal, this don't seem to be an emulator prob.

I suppose this prob exist on the original game, even if you play on a "real" N64.

I actually played the game on the N64, and it didn't have the problem. If
it's not an emulator problem, I guess maybe the cartridge has some extra
hardware like how star fox on snes had the super fx chip.

The user seems to be right and this specific problem is only happening in emulators.
It doesn't make a difference that it happens in all emulators. And yes, this game was
unstable on the N64 but this problem didn't seem to be happen on the N64.

So this bug is not invalid (maybe a wontfix). See also https://groups.google.com/d/topic/mupen64plus/pBOu_faLVhc/discussion

And it seems to be framebuffer related. For example use glide64mk2 and change the fb_smart
option to 0/1 for [Body Harvest] and restart the game and try to walk through walls/bridges

I have done extensive testing on this problem while working on my re-texture project.
I have finished Body Harvest both on console and emulation several times. I am an intelligent
and thorough person and would put in as much time as needed to support the resolution
of this problem. Though, I did all this testing/playing/retexturing using PJ64 1.7
and Jabo's video plugin. I have a ton of insight from experience on this issue. Here
is my "public" thread on the issue: http://www.emutalk.net/threads/45346-Body-Harvest-HD-texture-pack-WIP
. I also have a thread in the exclusive "Alpha build forum" at the PJ64 forums where
most of my testing info is stored. Let me know if my assistance would be of any value
in resolving this issue once and for all. Thank you.

Really, please let me know. My email address is gitechbuffalo @ gmail.com . I would
pay $100 or more to anyone who can resolve this issue, and I'm just a poor stay at
home dad. :)
