Issues fixed

Cannot resize window from 640x480

By default, there is no way to change the window size from 640x480.

Download and configure SWRS Toys^{[citation needed]}

Update Hisoutensoku to version 1.10a.
Download the SWRS Toys.
Extract all files to the installation folder.
Open SWRSToys.ini and remove the semicolon from before this line:

WindowResizer=Modules/WindowResizer/WindowResizer.dll

5. Navigate to <path-to-game>\Modules\WindowResizer

6. Open WindowResizer.ini and change the first 0 to 1, for example:

[Size]
Enabled=1

7. The game window can now be resized, by dragging a window edge.

Notes

Link to an English translation of the SWRS Toys usage guide.

Game does not detect Scarlet Weather Rhapsody

Manually set the location of SWR^[1]

Make sure both Scarlet Weather Rhapsody and Hisoutensoku are both installed correctly and are both patched up to the latest versions. Skip to step 2 if you've already made sure of that.
Find where SWR is installed, and note the full path down somewhere.
Go to where Hisoutensoku is installed, and open configex123.ini in an Unicode-compatible text editor, preferably Notepad++. Make a backup, too.
Under the [th105path] section, specify the location of your SWR installation after path=, drive letter and everything.
Save the file.
