Just watch the anime.

Go in order.

We have one of this theads almost every day now.

If you want something easy to hold your hand while you get used to it, Imperishable Night or MoF.
If you want something more challenging, PCB, EoSD or SA.
In the end, you should play all of them though.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

>>1923288
FFFFFFFFFFFF RAGE XD

Don't be a newfag and start from TH1 to 5 (find an emulator for the PC98, usually the games and emulator are in the same pack).

If you skip these and rush to the colorful and bouncy PC titles you'll lack fundamental knowledge of Touhou universe.

>TH1 to 5 (find an emulator for the PC98, usually the games and emulator are in the same pack)

How the FUCK do I get this to work?
I've had this for the longest time and this emulator does nothing for me.

>>1923312
Didn't most of it get retconned away? Specifically Reimu.
Not worth it, start with EoSD

Start with IN, it's best for beginners

>>1923319
Run the emulator (anex86.exe) and load the games (.hdi extension)
What problem are you having exactly?

what

>>1923333

Running Anex86.exe gets me that settings thing.

Load up Highly Responsive to Prayers in the HDD slot, and check the HDD -> FDD (same results if the box isn't checked anyway).
Start.
BLACK NOTHINGNESS.

Considering only easy and normal. PCB is probably the hardest easy mode Touhou, and MoF is fairly easy on easy/normal, and the bombing system in MoF/SA is more lenient. Well, sort of. You get more bombs, but lose power per bomb. I find it easier because during the stage a bomb will recover all or most of the power it took, so memorization of the stage isn't necessary unless you're scorerunning or something.

>and the bombing system in MoF/SA is more lenient.

FUCKING WHAT

LOSING A FULL SET OF POWER FOR A ONE-TIME BOMB IS A FUCKING GYP

>>1923395
From the standpoint of Easy I would find PCB to have more initially overwhelming cards than MoF, not to mention a much worse stage four for someone who doesn't know the spawn points. Still, I wouldn't call MoF a free handout.

Also, would you happen to know where the Let's Play Danmaku anon went?

>>1923404
Strange, this is mine.
I didn't need to check/uncheck anything, just load the game into HDD and put anex86.bmp in Fonts to display japanese...
Mess a little with the config options and try again.

>>1923451
In MoF you can bomb once per level with no penalty since there is no difference between full and one level below full.

>>1923458
>and put anex86.bmp in Fonts to display japanese...

Wait what?
I don't have this.

cock

>>1923468

STILL nothing.

>>1923451
A "full set" of power isn't that much. Think of it as every enemy who drops a large red powerup as dropping a bomb, and every 20th small red.

>>1923482
fuck, you're one unlucky son of a bitch
I didn't try othe emus but if you want to...

EoSD. There is no substitute for starting with that one aside from the PC98 games.

Seriously. Play them in order.

Huh, turns out it was a problem with the game files, not the emulator.
Go figure.

BUT HOORAY

>>1923499
FUCK YEAR
now go bounce that yingyang like the motherfucking fist of the north star

>>1923506

OH MY FUCKING GOD THIS IS THE MOST EVIL YIN-YANG ORB EVER

IT'S RAPING THAT POOR MIKO OH MY GOD

>>1923531
Stage 10 Boss in Hell Route is Mima, Marisa´s sempai.

>>1923914

I fought her.

Beat her.

And then WHAT THE FUCK IS WITH THAT KIKURI.
I damage her maybe 1/3rd of the time the Orb hits her, and her danmaku catches me off guard too much.
Feh.

So then I gave up and played Mystic Square. And it's actually quite fun!

>(the game)

Why is it when you run the games in Anex86 the sound is so horribly asynchronous to what's happening on screen? There's like a full second lag between something blowing up and you hearing it pop. NP2 does a much better job with that in allowing you to set the sampling rate and buffer.

I first played IN and understood shit, so I played from 1 to 11, best experience possible

>>1923531
oh ho ho ho

>>1923956
I also like the font better, and it sometimes pulls stupid stuff like this. All the games run like shit in Anex86. In NP2 you can set the clock and multiplier to make sure it runs smoothly. All I can see in Anex is just a bunch of switches, and I have no idea what they do.
