Issues fixed
Game will not install on Windows 10
The game's installer executable may not work under Windows 10, even with compatibility fixes and running under Japanese Unicode Settings. It can however still be manually installed by simply copying the game folder (th06
) from the CD-ROM to your computer.[1]
Fullscreen issues on Windows 10
Players have reported the game runs at an uncapped and unstable frame-rate on Windows 10 when played on fullscreen mode, even when using game's internal frame-rate cap enabled.[3] Other potential issues include the game not displayed properly on fullscreen (i.e. game window and title bar being visible on fullscreen) and DLL "Entry Point Not Found" errors.
Download ENBSeries DX8 to DX9 Converter and extract its contents to <path-to-game> (recommended)[3][4]
|
---|
[GlobalSets] UseD3D8to9=1 This allows other files that would modify d3d8.dll to be loaded by renaming their extension to '.asi'. |
Download DirectX 8 Fullscreen Fix and extract its contents to <path-to-game> [citation needed]
|
---|
Another option is dgVoodoo, which converts DX8 to directx11, and allows tweaking such as increasing resolution, anti-aliasing, and texture filtering.[citation needed] |

|
Alternatively, download the Touhou Patch Center's Unicode vpatch DLL and extract its contents to <path-to-game> .

Mods
Retexture Patch
- Requires the latest official patches and English fan-translation patch.
- Enhances the overall look of the game to be comparable to the series' later installments with cleaner, higher resolution assets.
Installing the Retexture Patch[1] |
---|
|
Hitbox Patch
- Displays the player's hitbox whenever the Focus key (⇧ Shift) is pressed like later games.
- Loaded through d3d8.dll, use either the vpatch or Ultimate ASI Loader for speed issues.
Practice Mode Replay Patch
- Allows saving replays from practice mode stages like in later games.
Real Hitbox Patches
- Makes bullets' size more accurate to their hitboxes.
Touhou Ultra
- Makes the game harder by making bullets faster and in larger quantities.
Touhou Vorbis Compressor
- Can save up to 80% of the game's disk space by compressing the game's BGM music files into Ogg Vorbis with little if any effect on the quality.
