eosd is running at 20fps all of a sudden for no reason
help

>>22116215
ok all of my touhou is capped at 30fps what the fuck is going on

stop using w10

>>22117383
What should I use instead?

>>22117611
install gentoo

>>22117618
I wonder. Is it possible to customize a Gentoo machine for the sole purpose of Touhou?

What is your most hated bullet?

>>22118401
Those arrows Mayumi uses

>>22118401
the ones that glow

>>22118401
probably the lasers that close in on you in EoSD stage 4 or the giant orbs from the same stage

>>22118401
Knives

>>22118401
This one takes second place. First place is Shou's lasers.

>>22118401
fuck curve laser

>>22118401
Pic related has caused me immeasurable amounts of grief.

>>22118401
Arrows, knives, curvy lasers, squarish ones.

>>22118401
Those big circular bullets you see in patterns like Doremy's nonspells. They look like the kind of bullet that would have a smaller hitbox than it appears, like bubbles or okuu nukes, but they aren't and it always gets me.

>>22118401
Music notes in DDC

>>22120163
>but they aren't and it always gets me.
Remember bullet hitboxes changed from TD onwards.

Post your favorite danmakufus! Serious, trolly, even undertale crossovers if you like them.

>>22121016
Who would win in a fight, bananas or cheetos?

>>22118401
knives, they always have bullshit hitbox
>>22118517
nigga just start from a corner and strafe to other their hitbox doesnt last as long as their graphical representation.

>>22121097
Danmakufu is a shit engine and should stop being used for anything.

>>22114521
pc98 too hard, artificial difficulty like arcade games

Tried some Touhou again a few years after my last attempt. Think I got the hang of clearing the title screen. Maybe playing lunatic straight off the newbie train isn't the best way to learn? Music is, as always, pretty nice.

>>22121796
stop playing soew

>>22121796
Mash z with ReimuC in SoEW

>>22121796
>artificial difficulty like arcade games
Git gud, gaming in general without arcade style fuck-yous is just a tutorial for tutorial mode

>>22118401
The little white dots, because my eyesight is shit and I don't always notice them while dodging other, larger bullets.

>>22118401
The big circle ones. Their hitbox combined with the fact that they obscure your character somewhat as well as them usually overlapping with, and in turns obscuring, other bullets (usually more big circles), has killed me more often than it should have.
That one Eirin nonspell (and to some extent her Game of Life/Lasting spell) is a total nightmare because she starts sending these fuckers in diagonally crossing patterns, which you can't see because they all obscure each other.

>>22121725
why is it a shit engine?

>>22121097

A simple theme fitting for Junko executed very creatively. Also Junko is one of my favorite 'hus but that's another story.

>>22122617
poorly optimized, you can have a kickass pc and games will still slowdown

>>22122599
I don't know, grazing bullets from inside their graphic just makes me feel cool.
The visibility on Eirin's spell is pretty bad, but i never had any issues on Remi or Yuyuko at least

>>22121097
I don't know what a danmakufu is and that video was cringe as fuck. Have some music barrage instead.

Is there a vpatch or similar to bump the resolution of hisoutensoku?

>>22128727
There isn't, stop asking this shit, Chilean.

About how long does it take to go from beginner to pulling off a Normal 1CC on LLS

>>22121097
First card is stolen from Len'en. Then shit cards until the body change ones. Then an Ichirin+ Asshole touhou copy, only easier.

>>22129743
I wouldn't say long, since stage 5 isn't difficult. Just beware of Yuuka's master spark. I had my 1cc, after a couple of runs.

>>22129743
1 week

>>22129743
>LLS
this game is piss easy, maybe a day or two

>>22131817
>>22131485
>>22130295
I did it, about 3 days. I am a pro now

I am very close 1CC soew. Fuckin Marisa's stage always messes up my run though

>>22134948
>Fuckin Marisa's stage always messes up my run though
It's mostly a matter of streaming. If you don't feel bad about it, you can safespot the midbosses by standing on top of them, but remember that the aimed glowing balls can still hit you.

>>22118289
Definitely and it shouldn't be too hard either.
1. install gentoo, do it.
2. install wine and X.
3. write a script that runs on login and asks for game number.
4. xinit /home/anon/th$game/th$game.exe -- vt1
If you want to go further you could maybe write your own launcher using ncurses.

I'm only now getting around to Wily Beast and Weakest Creature.
Did anyone else have an issue with MarisaOtter's ending crashing? I didn't get to save my replay, but it counted as a clear.

>>22137459
Huh? That's strange. It worked fine for me.

>>22137521
Apparently it's not just MarisaOtter, it happened on my MarisaEagle clear just now, too.
It freezes, then closes, as soon as the credits roll is loading in. I get one frame of the loading screen, and then nothing.
I think my copy of the game is just broken in some way, sometimes it also fails to start up. It's odd that it didn't happen on my Reimu clear.

>>22134948
>>22135375
I did it today. yay

>>22135524
When I installed wine on gentoo + japanese fonts, the fonts didn't actually show up in programs running under wine. They just show up as blocks. Which is weird, because it shows up fine on wine when using mac. Using LANG="ja_JP.UTF-8" on both platforms, of course.
Sucks, I wanted a Gentoo touhou machine.

at what point am I no longer a secondary

>>22137963
when ZUN officially recognizes you as a superplayer

Friends, I finally 1cc'd IN on Normal with every team on FinalA and B! (but not yet with the solo characters)

>>22137837
>I did it today. yay
Congratulations, which shot type?
>>22137966
>when ZUN officially recognizes you as a superplayer
Man, I always knew that Evil Eye Sigma clear message was worth all that effort.

>>22118401
Keine's lasers
The animals Mamizou uses
Hecatia's fucking moons

>>22137837
What fonts did you install? I can run Touhou the way you did without problems except for resolution differences.

>>22138098
Congratulations! Which team did you save for last?

>>22138298
Netherworld team, I went through them in order (though I started with Border Team FinalB and Magic Team FinalA)

>>22138376
Which team ended up as your favorite?

>>22138675
Tough one. They all have ups and downs. All i can say is I liked Scarlet team the least.
I think I'm gonna go with Netherworld team. They got both high single-target damage and large spread which made Stage 4 a breeze compared to the others, they even have a Malice Cannon wannabe. Well, all teams do to some degree but Netherworld Team's Malice Cannon seems to be second strongest only topped by the actual Magic team.

Although I like Border Team's bombs more. Magic Team may have Master Spark but it also includes Alice's bomb which I hate (same goes for the other two teams to an extent) whereas i like both bombs of Border Team.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! THIS SHOULDN'T BE HAPPENING /jp/!

B type

>>22138172
kochi-substitute, ja-ipafonts, vlgothic, mplus-outline-fonts, basically every font they tell you top install on the Gentoo Japanese Fonts page.

EoSD and MoF won't open in fullscreen for me, and I'm too retarded with regard to PC matters to figure out why this happens. Does anyone here have the solution? I am using Windows 10 and downloading the .exe from Moriya Shrine, if it matters.

>>22139486
Make sure wine has the fontconfig use flag enabled, and the fonts probably need the X use flag too.
If that doesn't help, try running 'locale -a' and see if there aren't any japanese locales in the list.
Also If you want I can post my configs and scripts somewhere. I want to see this Gentoo Touhou machine come to fruition.

>>22139547
Did you launch with vpatch.exe or the normal executable?

>>22139904
I click on the .exe file called "th## (thpatch-en."

>>22139973
If it just shows a black screen, then try using vpatch. Instructions and download should be available on moriyashrine or the wiki (or just search engine it)
If it works then simply change the English exec to th##.exe

>>22138906
I personally found Scarlet teams focus shot to be very interesting to use, but I can see why you don't want your shots to be 'interesting'.

Not gentoo as far as I know but someone put together a touhou arcade machine with a menu and everything back at AWA '13. I've always wondered if he uploaded that launcher anywhere for making your own machine.

>>22140879
That's not why I dislike Scarlet team actually. I found Sakuya's shot (the unfocused one) to be weak which made going for Last Words during early fights a pain in the ass, and I don't like their bombs.

>>22141276
Sakuya's shot is very weak, I never really went for last words with that team, and I also used Remilia for stages, since she can easily cover two parts of the screen with her ability.

>>22139547
If you have Nvidia drivers go to Nvidia Control Panel -> Adjust desktop size and position -> Perform scaling on -> select GPU

>>22139973
Probably a no-brainer but have you tried running as an administrator?

>>22139611
Yeah I have those flags enabled. Guess it doesn't really matter since I'm playing english-patched versions anyways, it's just little elements here and there that still have the Japanese text.

m-mystic square is significantly more intense than everything else on the pc98 up to this point

My controller decided to die, so I'll be taking a break from the main games, this is where my progress stands rn.
Whenever I can play again I'll learn TD for NBNT, complete that chart and finish off IN and SA (which is what I had intended to do this month but oh well).
How is your progress going on anons?

>>22144877
No PC-98?

>>22139547
Do you have the thcrap patched version of EoSD? I don't know much about that patch for this game, but start by doing this >>22141399 (nice Cirno dubs). Does it crash? Try running the main exe in Windows 7 compatibility, or if that doesn't work, try win xp (I don't remember if it's needed). Try running it as admin too, but that probably won't help.
Make sure the file names are in proper Japanese, not some garbled shit. Use vpatch with the single necessary dll. Also make sure that the directory path doesn't have non alphanumeric characters or characters with diacritics.

For me, when I move my EoSD folder to a different location and start vpatch, it crashes first, then it works from then on. It also crashes upon alt tabbing back.

>>22144877
Got a normal Legacy 1cc and I'm not quite sure where to go now.

Finally, what was ZUN thinking when he was making Heca's nons. That stuff is made from nightmares.

>>22147297
you say that like the spells are any better

>>22147326
Hecatia spells are either complete jokes (like the first one) or total bullshit (Lunatic Fucking Impact)

So, do these games get easier after Mystic Square?

>>22150746
Probably. QoL changes like being able to collect all the items and see your hitbox always help.
>>22144929
I played LLS and MS way back, but they dont work very well in my pc, I tried all the emus.
Maybe I'll go back to them after I fill the entire chart I posted, but that will take long and this is also for LLS and MS only, I have no interest in the first 3.
>>22146340
Maybe it's time to try out PoFV and GFW now that you have more experience, they are great games anon, they just take some time to get used to.

>>22150746
Some of them are, some of them aren't. Overall I'd say Windows is harder than PC-98, if only because of the total joke that is LLS.

>>22150746
Not the patterns themselves, but visible hitbox, easier item collection and practice mode helps a lot
LLS is still easier than most windows game though, and SoEW is too jank to rank

I think I have a problem

>>22151494
I don't get it. What's with the discrepancy between the in-game histories and the practice histories?

>>22151505
It's spellcard practice. I've tried over 1000 times on one of them only to win 13. I can do it with ease now, but it took me a while, and once I got good I quickly lost interest.

IN is my favorite game though. Mokou is overwhelmingly cool.

>>22150900
>Maybe it's time to try out PoFV
I was thinking about that, but I'm not sure which shot to pick as my first one. Which one would you suggest, anon?

>>22150900
You know, since you really like PoFV, I think you should consider PoDD as well should you ever choose to visit the PC98 games. I'm personally not a fan of the phantasmagoria games, but I find 3 to be more fun than 9.

>>22150746
Assuming you're playing on normal, I would say MS is slightly on the easier side compared to the rest of the series. I find many of the later games harder mostly because their resource systems are unintuitive to me.
My personal ranking goes 15 > 12 > 11 > 14 > 2 > 13 > 5 > 6 > 7 > 10 > 8 > 4, in order from hardest to easiest and not including phantasmagorias/games I haven't really played.

Beat Koishi today. I thought this extra stage was going to be one of the harder ones, but it only took me like 5 hours, even Ran took me longer.

Do most people consider Flan's stage easier or harder than this one? Because I really struggle to get past Ex-Patchy

>>22151755
Assuming you only have the first 5 girls then I suggest Reimu or Marisa, they are not hard to use and very good. Also check the key configs if you feel that something is off when you play it, the game has 2 different control schemes and it can throw some people off.
>>22151787
I really dislike PoDD anon! Lack of focus is already bad enough but I can't look at the game, too much stuff going on.
>>22151954
People consider Koishi one of the hardest extras to be mainly due to the lack of resource gain until the fight itself. Other than that, people that go for no miss consider it one of the easiest since there is not a lot of random things, spells are easy to memorize and the nons are kinda not even there.

>>22151954
What the fuck.
Flan is mid-tier at worst, Ran is EZ-modo, Koishi is so hard she actually killed my motivation to play the games at all.
>5 hours
Guess I'll die.

>>22151954
I consider Flan harder these days, but as >>22152418 pointed out Koshi is pretty reliant on trial-and-error (especially towards the end of the fight). She was definitely harder for a first clear.

>>22151787
>but I find 3 to be more fun than 9.
Many people, myself included, have this opinion, but I can't understand why. Why do we find PoDD "more fun"? PoFV is better from a technical standpoint, but there is something that just "isn't the same". What is that something?

>>22153047
I can only speak for single player, but I like PoDD more because it feels like there's more hard fights besides the final boss. In PoFV you're just twiddling your thumbs until Eiki.

Any complete save state for IN and SA?

>>22154003
https://mega.nz/#F!r8hWmCrD!oOkBNotI88acvlhlKUXZiA

>>22118401
these little pieces of shit with their wonky ass hitboxes and moving patterns in ISC

>>22152418
>>22153047
Ironically, my opinion on PoFV is exactly what Yuyuko anon think about PoDD. It feels more cluttered to me and there's too much stuff going on, whereas PoDD feels simpler and more straightforward. Regardless, I'd rather be playing Twinkle Star Sprites than either.

>>22153081
Honestly, I don't have much trouble until I get to Chiyuri, then I start getting curbstomped. I think I've done a play through with most of the characters and it always goes the same, I do really well until Chiyuri, then I either lose to her or Yumemi.

Whats the best danmaku fangames out there?

Resurrection of Heaven's Liquor

>>22152418
Wow, I just cleared it with Marisa! Never thought I would clear PoFV. It was so close.
