Regarding the issue with it not working on some emulators due to a wrong gdc clock speed: I managed to fix it for me by setting it to 2.5 MHz using this reddit post https://www.reddit.com/r/pc98/comments/eahn6z/how_can_i_change_the_gdc_clock_speed_in_neko/ Idk if that's what Spiritboob was refering to, but okay.

alright so I legit just helped someone with this, so imma just copy and paste what I said to them, kapiche? Ahh! Sorry once again for the late response, some laptops or computers don't have this dll for some reason. You can get it online at places like: https://www.dll-files.com/d3dx9_43.dll.html There are other sites, but I've found that this one works the most. After downloading the file for your computer (If it's for the 64/32 version or whatever you'd like it to be if it supports both), just insert the dll file into where the game location is. As you can see (although this is a different game) I've added it directly into the area in which the game calls for the file. You may have multiple dll files that you need to add, but I doubt it. After running the game again, it should work (but you might have to reinstall because you might've crashed your game when you ran it last time. Try not reinstalling and just playing the game first though!) BIG NOTE TO YOU If you couldn't understand this post, or it was too confusing for you **LET ME KNOW** so that I can fix it, or walk you through where you get stuck. Once again, sorry for the late reply.

@MLG_Shigu it's fine, there's no viruses, i've been playing for quite a while and nothing has happened.

ThPatch's translations are injected directly from their site, that's why your anti-virus is triggering, we can't do anything about that because they don't do standalone patches anymore. I thought this was written in the description already, i'll fix that.

I've been noticing that almost every Download being hosted has a bunch of virus warnings, even when previous iterations didn't have any virus hits. In particular BScope.Trojan.DarkHotel has been a consistent hint. Do the Admin know anything about this, because I'm sure a False hit shouldn't be so consistent. Here's the VirusTotal link itself :https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/4d4f2ec081019f92b7c41022080a02aacc3e42c0e57c340ce3eafc663149885a/detection I found this same problem on the Touhou 12 and 16 downloads. I would advise not downloading anything until this gets addressed.

To play this game, follow the directions on this website: https://46okumen.com/pc-98-emulation/. I went with the first option (there is a second one). Worked for me, should work for you.

get good

Whenever I try to extract the file I get a data error for thbgm.dat and a CRC error for th17.dat, even after re-downloading. Am I the only one ? I have similar problems with downloading other games from this site as well

Hello, I am having an issue with this download. It might just be on my end, but the file thbgm.dat refuses to extract (in its entirety). Archive manager says it is 445MB in size but when I extract the whole folder, the extracted thbgm.dat is only 43.1MB in size. This results in the game's music glitching out shortly after Eika's theme starts playing in the game. For the rest of stage 1, the music is replaced by the sound of static. Then, starting from stage 2, the music stops entirely. I've tried troubleshooting this problem in the following ways: -Downloading the ZIP file again. thbgm.dat still doesn't extract successfully. -Extracting all ZIPs on a Windows 10 computer, Windows 7 computer, my personal laptop (which runs Linux; I thought that might have been the issue so I ran it on Windows as well---with the same results), and my phone. thbgm.dat is still corrupted. -Running extracted files on a Win10, Win7, and my personal laptop. The glitch I've described still plays out in the same way. The game runs fine, but it'd be a shame not to hear the music while playing. Another thing of note: the music room is completely corrupted. The only thing that will play is the title theme. Upon finishing the game on normal, the unlocked songs all display as corrupted text and don't play.

I love how half the comments are people talking about the files being corrupted, and the other half is people complaining about danmaku "unfairness". Do you not see the "hell" in "bullet hell"? The Touhou series is generally regarded as one of the most balanced and refined series of BH shooters out there. if you are having problems with the diff, well, that's on you. you either don't have the mentality to understand spell card patterns and the like, or, you just haven't played/practiced enough. my best recommendation is to go and try to beat TH06 on all diffs 'cept luna. once you can do that, start working on 7-10 simultaneously. once you can do all that, congrats, you should now be able to attempt playing this game. Touhou is a series that's meant to be played chronologically. The series requires practice, literally any game with a basic understanding of game design requires practice to be "good" at. most likely you just haven't played enough, or you have shit perception. Now as to the people with corrupted files, the people uploading these files do so on their own time, and have no obligation to fix everyone's complaint if the file works for them. the game runs, and overtime the file will be updated by other admins/mods or the same person. Don't expect these files to be golden as soon as they're released on this site. maybe here's an idea, try helping out, and seeing what you can do to improve the file quality, maybe see if you can de-corrupt the files, or give your working version of the game to a staff member here so they can sort it out. also, ik i'm bad with caps, so, sorry if the caps (or lack thereof) makes it hard to take what i'm saying seriously. i'm too lazy to move my hands in an awkward position bc of hand problems I should probably take the time to fix that tho.
