===Patches===
 +
Patches for the full game can be found under the section "バージョンアップ差分DL" (Version Upgrade Download) from the game's official website. Download the patches marked as "ver1.02f" and "ver1.02h", then install them in that order. You may need to rename the game's executable as ({{file|th06.exe}}) to "{{code|東方紅魔郷.exe}}" and run the patches under [[Microsoft Windows#Non-unicode applications|Japanese Unicode settings]] to properly install them.<ref name="updating th06">{{Refcheck|user=AmethystViper|date=July 10, 2018|comment=}}</ref>

 +
===Retexture Patch===
 +
{{ii}} 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.

# Download the patch from [https://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Game_Tools_and_Modifications#Retexture_Patch here], then extract its contents to its own folder.
 +
# Copy the {{file|th06e_ST.DAT}} from the Retexture Patch folder into <code>{{p|game}}</code>.

# Next, chose which preferred hitbox type you prefer from the Retexture Patch (Visible Hitbox or Invisible Hitbox) and copy its {{file|th06e_TL.DAT}} and {{file|th06e_CM.DAT}} into <code>{{p|game}}</code>.
 +
# Finally, chose your preferred soundpack you wish you use from the Sound folder (Original, Perfect Cherry Blossom, Imperishable Night, or Subterranean Animism), then copy its {{file|th06e_IN.DAT}} into <code>{{p|game}}</code>.
 +
# Now launch the game. You should noticed a drastic change with the game's visuals.

Essential improvements

Patches

Patches for the full game can be found under the section "バージョンアップ差分DL" (Version Upgrade Download) from the game's official website. Download the patches marked as "ver1.02f" and "ver1.02h", then install them in that order. You may need to rename the game's executable as (th06.exe) to "東方紅魔郷.exe" and run the patches under Japanese Unicode settings to properly install them.[1]

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[2]
  1. Download the patch from here, then extract its contents to its own folder.
  2. Copy the th06e_ST.DAT from the Retexture Patch folder into <path-to-game>.

A fix is required for the game to recognize XInput D-pad and analog triggers when assigning controls.
Use XInput Plus[3]
  1. Download and run XInput Plus.
  2. Set the Target Program to th06.exe (or translated variations thereof).
  3. Go to the Key Assign tab, then go to Left Stick and assign it to Multiple Key, then check Left Stick and DPAD.
  4. Go to the DirectInput tab, and check Enable DirectInput Output, and set Guide Button to Button 13.
  5. Click Customize, then assign the following for these drop-down menu respectively:
    • Left/Right Trigger as Button 7/8
    • Back/View and Start/Menu as Button 9 and Button 10
    • Left/Right Stick Button as Button 11/12
  6. Click Apply then OK to save settings and install DLLs. The game should be able to register XInput D-pad and analog triggers as DirectInput buttons.

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.[5]

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.[6] 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.
