Rune Factory is now stable with the LLE plugin (but still sounds bad) as of r4558. Using an earlier revision, you will encounter many crashes with LLE (but these can be brute forced through by furious clicking to get through the scenes).
Intro:
Anyone who has tried to run Rune Factory using the stock configuration knows you get trapped in specific conversations because HLE doesn't sync the game with the audio properly. This happens not only in several cutscenes throughout the game, but also when you try to shop (thus keeping you from really doing anything in game). However, for everything that isn't these conversations the HLE plugin works perfectly (sound and all).
So, we can't really play the game at all with stock settings.
What you need to do:
1. Go to Options/Configuration/ in Dolphin, go to the "Plugins" tab and change the DSP to "Dolphin DSP-LLE Plugin."
2. Then you need to get two files: dsp_coef and dsp_rom (See: http://forums.dolphin-emu.org/thread-3823.html ). They need to be placed in the /Sys/GC folder of your Dolphin directory. And that's it.
Unfortunately, the sound is utter crap (LLE has not had a lot of work done on it yet although there is progress being made). Really, just mute it.
HOWEVER, we only need this config when we know we'll encounter a problematic cutscene or go shopping. So, if you want, you can save your game after doing what you need to do, and change back to HLE when you don't plan on either encountering a cutscene or going shopping, giving you a faster and nicer sounding experience.
There is one drawback, and that is if you encounter a cutscene and get stuck. All you can do is hope you saved recently (although it might be worth exploring the use of savestates to overcome this).
