Score is tied 0-0 and the bases are loaded at the bottom of the ninth inning. Batter at the plate hits a home run. Is the score 4-0 or does only the winning run crossing the plate count for 1-0?

4-0 is the final:
Rule 4.11
[skips irrelevant (a) and (b)]
(c) If the home team scores the winning run in its half of the ninth inning (or its half of an extra inning after a tie), the game ends immediately when the winning run is scored. EXCEPTION: If the last batter in a game hits a home run out of the playing field, the batter-runner and all runners on base are permitted to score, in accordance with the base-running rules, and the game ends when the batter-runner touches home plate.
APPROVED RULING: The batter hits a home run out of the playing field to win the game in the last half of the ninth or an extra inning, but is called out for passing a preceding runner. The game ends immediately when the winning run is scored.
*The "approved ruling" was applied in the Robin Ventura "grand slam single."

If it is a homerun, then all runs count, if not, then just the first runs counts. The only exception to the rule is a homerun such as Robin Ventura's fifteenth inning grand slam single against the Braves in Game 5 in the 1999 NLCS, he hit a grand slam, but was held to a single after Todd Pratt, the runner headed to second, turned around and grabbed Ventura after Roger Cedeno crossed the plate to win, Ventura was awarded a single and 1 RBI. Look up Grand Slam Single to find more about it.

A homerun is the only way all four runs count. The game would be over with any other hit, where the ball stays in the ballpark, after the first run scores. The hitter could have hit the ball of the top of the fence and would be given a single, a game winning RBI, and three runners would be left on base.

4-0
On home runs they count all the runs.
If the batter would have hit a 3 RBI base clearing triple, only the first run would count. The games ends on the first run scoring and it would be 1-0.

The ball is out of play and dead, so the team is entitled to all four runs, but -- and this is important (I'm talkin' to you, Robin Ventura) -- the batter and runners must tag all bases in proper order for the runs to count. Gotta do things properly.

with a home run - all runs count.
Any other game winning hit - when the winning run crosses the plate that will be the last run that counts.

good run! you ran a million.4 miles in 10 and a million/2 minutes divvid some time via a million.4 to get the time in step with mile 10.5/a million.4 =7.5. for this reason you ran at a speed of seven.5 or 7 and a 0.5 minutes in step with mile.

In current baseball rules it counts all 4 runs.
