Touhou Games

7Zip can extract it withont having to reconbin it first. Just open the first part with it.

2 more questions:
Just drag the image over EDITDISK.exe
Click OK.
Extract all files from the my archive
Drag OP.EXE and REIIDEN.EXE into EDITDISK's window (You'll see a bunch of files)
Click on Yes to All (A) on the window that pops up
You're done! Just load the game in ANEX86 and enjoy!
*can someone interpret this please(Touhou 1)
I got:
1.Drag image to EDITDISK.exe(im assuming image is the .hdi file)
2.click ok(easy enough)
3.Extract Files to my archive(this is where im confused is there a command for this and where can i find it?)
4.Drag OP.EXE and REIIDEN.EXE into EDITDISK's window (those are the ones in the patch other tha the read me right?)
5.click yes to all(easy)
6.how do i use annex86?
and...do I need Japanese region settings?Sorry for being a noob,and thank you if you help.

You sounds very confused. First off, Embodiment of the Scarlet Devel is touhou 6, is native to windows and should not require the emulator at all.

I actually recommend starting with Touhou 10: Mountain of Faith. It's somewhat more difficult to complete than earlier games, but it's also easier as a whole. What I mean is prior to 10, you could jack up your life count and when you used all of your lives you continue exactly where you were. However, in MoF you get stuck with 2 lives and when you continue you're sent to the beginning of the stage your were on.

The end result is you really learn how play by working your way through TH10 because you can't slop it, but it's also got the easiest gameplay so it's not excessively difficult to complete.

Also, IMO MoF has some of the best fights and music as well.

Now that i've given the pitch, installing is pretty simple. Download all the files, and extract them using 7-zip (freeware program, google it). You can't mouseover with 7-zip like you can in winrar, but finding and extracting the files using the 7-zip console interface shouldn't prove too difficult. With your extracted files, download the patch run that. There should be a TH10e.exe file that is the translated game. There should also be an english configuration utility, you'll want to set it to fullscreen. Lastly, if your framrate seems a little skippy, like it's randomly jumping between 40-70hz, run the game in win98 compatability mode. Some of the touhou games (not all, and I don't know why) are jittery on my machine and it's because they're confused about my dual-core cpu. For a little while I was biasing the process to one CPU, but win98 compatability does that for you automatically, and you don't need to redo the setting every time you run it.

d3dx9-31.dll was not found?Upon recommendation i re downloaded MoF,but when I try to run it it says this.Any suggestions?Should I redownload the whole thing(this didnt happen before though)

that's not a game error, it's a system error, one that is easily fixed. If you want to go the most trustworthy route, install the latest directx from microsoft and do a full install (I'm guessing you have a partial dx install coming from a game that didn't need the entire dx library).

Alternatively, you can find the individual file (easily googled) and put a copy of it in your
\windows\system32
folder.

thank you so much!

I played 11 only, but i always wanted to get used to all the characters, particularly remilia, flandre and sakuya, from just looking at their pictures. Playing the game in order will introduce them all right?
Sorry for the odd question

They all have their first appearance in TH06, EoSD. In order to reach Flandre you have to know, to a certain degree, what you're doing.

Good job Nacho.. i see you like Touhou, how about Touhou Doujin? i got link for it, just fo to my profile and you'll find it..

If people are interested, I did a video walkthrough of touhou 10 normal difficulty. It's got some decent insight at times, other times it's scarcely any better than "lol try harder".

Check it out, lemme know what you think, and if it's worth doing for other games.

It's more of a playthrough with a bit of commentary. I watched the last part and you basically died and bombed your way through it, not showing the key movements to the individual cards at all. You also do a lot of unecessary movement in order to dodge, wasting a lot of damage and making you deal a lot longer with shit than you'd have to, not really walkthrough material.

Well, I thought it would be more authentic to use an actual playthrough than to splice together the best of a handful of videos, so I went for one that seemed solid.
It's not in the annotations, but in the desciption of the first video:


Okay next question, not trying to be defensive but rather looking for actual constructive critecism.
Was I really "not showing the key movements to the individual cards at all" ? Because if I wasn't able to show it, then maybe my understanding is fundamentally flawed.

I've toyed around a bit with the Kanako fight in response. Wall 'o Text condensed.

Rofl i'm so noob at the bullet hell agmes



Liking them =]

watch with annotations

general strategy should apply to lower difficulties too

what is the software i use to join the files? (forgot the name)

this one, maybe...
Hjsplit

* as far as i know, it's the best alternative to split or join file

Thanks for telling me =D.
