>I'm looking for a prepatched version of this game.
It took me a week to find a version of SADX in 2010.
With the site deaths this year, you're asking for a needle in a haystack.
Try one of the torrent sites, use a VPN if you're a burger.

>>31502693
I personally think this game is better than The Genius of Sapheiros. Is there a translation patch already? It feels like a decade since I played the game.

>>31510339
Been doing just that. Pouring through every site I can. Even testing some of the Japanese site and updates interchangeably.

Just thought there has to be a /jp/ with the partial translation patch, of course?

>>31510415
A partial translation was released for 2.11. More of a gameplay geared translation patch rather than story; which I personally don't mind since I play these while I work.

Hopefully a kind and lucky soul will show up eventually to help out.

If I find it myself btw, I'll go ahead and post it here. Maybe archive it somewhere for when someone goes looking for it.

Its really great game, and just like >>31510415
i think it might been even better than GoS, shame that it never got full translation and same praise as GoS.

I have physical copy of the vanilla and i also atleast had it as file somewhere with expansion and item/skill translation patch but no idea where, been sometime since i played it.

>>31514520
I've actually been playing GoS and fell in love with it.

If you find that file anytime, be sure to post it here if you can. I'd really appreciate it, and so would others I imagine.

Holy shit, I'm a fool!

I may have gotten it working. Going to test it out a bit and post a link of the game pre-patched with the most recent partial English translation.

>>31510339
>use a VPN if you're a burger.
Why?

Here you all go.

Touhouh Gensou Maroku - The Devil of Decline most recent partial English patch: https://mega.nz/folder/c94zTayb#ADDdIdaCPtWyig9TFLd_rA

For anyone who gets lost like I did. If you're on Windows 10 use this Locale Emulator when launching the game or editing configs: https://github.com/xupefei/Locale-Emulator/releases

>>31523346
Thank you!

>>31523346
So did you forget change your locale or do you need locale emu for it to work on win10? I was about to actually ask did you change locale but i guess that worked out without me asking.

>>31530440
I had assumed I wouldn't need to emulate the locale for config changes seeing as this wasn't necessary for the other untranslated versions I tested. Turns out it was completely necessary.

After getting it all working with changed controls I patched it with a more recent English patch. Not sure how much it changed really, but I definitely noticed some menu options and the starting summaries for when you chose your leader were translated on the recent patch. So I thought I'd toss it up, along with an explanation in case anyone got stuck as I did.

>>31531043
So you actually need emulator and changing system locale normally wont do it?

>>31531319
I'd imagine changing your system locale would be enough.

I usually just use the emulator once in a while, otherwise I've rarely had to bother changing my system locale thus far when playing anything. Just a small mistake that tripped me up for a while. Turns out the issue was as small as changing my locale when editing my configs.

>>31531458
Ok, its just that i prefer to just change it instead of using emulator.

>>31522284
900B makes you a felon for piracy, even though that was the fucking charge before.

Oh shit i didn't notice this thread
I've been looking all over for the sequel to this game, nightmare of rebellion
I don't suppose you have that too?

>>31545907
Didn't you find it in one of the other threads?

Bump for the sake of how good these games are.
I remember hunting down patches for genius of sappheiros. I've actually got a patch running that's newer than the one on moriyashrine I think. You just need to run the game with a certain version of Locale Emulator so your inventory doesn't look buggy.

Hope you find what you're looking for op.

>>31553008
Yes and no, it's on nyaa but with no seeds
Sorry for being an annoying faggot but it didn't sit well with me to let this stuff get swallowed up by time, anons in archives from circa 2014 seemed to enjoy it a lot

>>31553008
Not that anon but what you mean with other threads. Also found my old installation of DoD and lots of other touhou fan games, there is some old folder with nightmare of rebellion with dodgy looking crack and keygen, also its like 8GB folder so i dont really have means to upload it anywhere unless i somehow manage to put it on catbox in 10+ smaller rar files.

>>31553527
I also asked in the 2hu gameplay thread, i guess that's what he meant
You could probably zip it and throw it up on MEGA or something though
The cracks and keygens seem par for the course because apparently that game came with nasty DRM and took a bit of tinkering to get around

>>31553238
>it's on nyaa but with no seeds

>>31553771
What is it anon, am i missing something

>>31553815
leeches

>>31553896

>>31553613
I do some tinkering if i can actually get it somewhere, it seems i have already installed version of it that is only 5GB, funny thing is also that i never actually played this game past intro. This main menu theme sounds actually good like in DoD. Hard to believe people dont have these saved, considering how much it have become clear that various thing slowly getting purged from internet.

So i attempted to upload it to litterbox in 6 parts since it have 1GB limitation per upload but it seems that uploads get timed out before upload is complete, so i guess i start checking other options, been drinking some so take it easy with me and also i hope we could again have those doujin/fan game threads that had lot of discussion about these great games.

I really hoped DoD had new game + or way to recruit some of the 2hus like suika, eiki or kogasa earlier so you coud use them more in game, i mean you also could just rush to them from start of the game and skipping everything else but it can be hard to get them with low level team and without certain shikigamis another solution would been that starting teams actually varied more than they do now.

>>31557157
Godspeed you glorious friend! Mega gives you 16 gigs free when you make a free account and GDrive gives you 15 I think.

>>31562195
>>31553613
>>31545907
So here you go then, i tested just title screen so no idea how functional it is past that, tested on japanese locale win7, no idea about win10 or such and i did test download so it worked for me atleast. its preinstalled version that i had, no idea can it cause problems on other systems, also i will nuke the link in a few days so if someone feels like making more permanent solution feel free. If need comes i can also upload installation version with weird crack keygen bullshit.

Oh well, time for me to get more drunk, have good new years everyone

GoS is still the best Strawberry Bose game. DoD is great too, but it's kind of quirky. NoR I never played long enough thanks to it having a mountain of DRM and there being little options around that on release, no idea if things got better after some time or after its expansion, but from the little I saw of it, it didn't look like anything amazing. And from there on I have no idea what they've been up to, all I know is that the mountain of DRM never stopped.
I wish they brought the Vita versions of the games to Steam, I wouldn't mind not being a pirate for once.

>>31567005
i too hope steam releases, even though we will get new wave of newfags no doubt, vita version of GoS had eirin as playable if i recall correctly which is great, also other improvements.

>>31567005
also did NoR have expansion? Since i been unware of such thing.

>>31567751
https://wp.gensoukyou.org/genmuex/
Looks like it.

>>31567962
well okay just to note everyone that this >>31565744 upload is vanilla one.
But i guess good luck finding expansion since we hardly found even vanilla.
we really need /jp/ archive or something like that though since it seems people wont keep this stuff safe.

>>31565744
>https://mega.nz/file/5AxFmY5A#sgP_IDx1tHXqzqpCcWx_lBTsH-9BwltBNkGnJYhAG2E

You are the best. Going to play this and get smashed too.

>>31568147
I'd love to hunt down files and compile an archive of /jp/ treasures.

>>31568528
hopefully it works just as it should. either way happy new years.

>>31567962
>>31568147

I'm working on tracking it down.

If I find it I'll post it.

>>31571650
well good luck my friend, doing /jp/ related archive also might be a thing we should do, considering state of internet for last few years, it wont get any better most likely.

>>31565744
I'm the original anon who started asking around for this, just woke up
Thanks a lot, seriously
I know a lot of this stuff is gonna become lost media and we'll never see it again but it's great to salvage what we can, so thanks a lot
Happy new year anon

I may have found the 2.09 build of Nightmare of Rebellion. If everything works I'll apply the partial English patch and upload it here for all the non-Japanese speakers.

>>31590560
Damn, that'd be great
Originally i didn't expect this to have a translation at all

on the topic of sapheiros, what does 3.1 have that 3.0 doesn't?
i couldn't find 3.1 but i figured it wouldn't make that much of a difference to play on the older version

>>31590752
Found a download on a Korean Blog. The download's translated into Korean so I'm not sure if applying the English patch will cause some conflicts, but it's worth a go.

>>31590957
If it's a partial patch then even if it works, you might end up with english menus but korean story text so even the nihongo speaking anons wouldn't get that much out of it
But it's worth checking out

>>31590887
Good question. I wasn't even aware of a 3.1 build.

>>31591036
It is. I'm still searching high and love for a Japanese 2.09 version, but I'm tired so I think I'll take some z's while the download finishes.

Happy New Years

>>31591200
Happy New Year and thank you for your work
Rember to take it easy

>>31502693
Bump

>>31545446
What?

Thank god the thread's still up.

I tried to patch the Korean translation into partial English and also tried to update the vanilla version in the thread up to build 2.09, but my efforts have bore no fruit.

Does anyone know how the DRM works on NoR? Strawberry Boses games are all 50% off on dlsite, and I was thinking about grabbing a copy from there and authenticating it before applying the patch, but I just want to be sure it will work.

>>31604739
Awesome Moko dude
They seem like a good friend to have

>>31565744
Thanks dude.
Word of advice, you can sign up on yandex and use burner emails that way.

>>31615179
I'm not quite sure but the answer is definitely in the archives, it has something to do with having to generate a license based on your PC's configuration so that's what the keygen was for (and crack too i think)
BUT the game that was already preinstalled and uploaded in this thread worked for me just fine so maybe just patching it on your side and reuploading it might work
It's a elaborate DRM but it's also several years old at this point so who knows

>>31615179
>>31633057
The game is also on nyaa and there are some tips in torrent's description on how to get it running

>>31633057
>>31633085

I see. That's unfortunate.

I didn't pay much mind to the Nyaa torrents since they had no seeders and the mega links were dead.

I'm going to go through some of the steps with the NoR build posted here again and see if maybe I missed something. If it doesn't work then I'll grab a copy from dlsite and see if I can get it to work.

>>31633785
Thank you for your work, i tried downloading the torrent a few days ago but as you can guess it was dry
I also went through some threads from 2014 but none of the mega links i found had the game in them, they were mostly going through the effort of figuring out how to crack the game
Good luck on your side cute feet

>>31634412
Thanks.

So I think there are some conflicts with the crack in the vanilla download, that make it unable to be ran after updates, but I just bought the game on DLsite and am downloading it now.

Hopefully I can get the patch to work, but if not I'll still upload my copy for future /jp/ers to tinker with.

Taking a nap while the downloads finish.

>>31637154
Rest well and thank you for the effort, i hope it wasn't too much of a bother
The crack might be the biggest problem yeah, i guess the "worst" case scenario would be that the english patch works but there'd be no way to play without actually buying the game, i suppose we'll find out after you upload it
I don't mind buying it but for archival purposes it's a bummer since one day it might just disappear from DLSite to speak nothing of hardware breaking and no longer having the authentication
Anyhow we'll do what we can and cross whatever bridges when we get to them, maybe the crack and keygen themselves can be made to work with this one, if it comes to that i'll reread the archives and see how they did that to begin with
Have a good nap

Safety bump.

Great news. I got the partial English patch to work, and haven't run into any problems.

The upload's pretty big, so it might take a second to upload

>>31648229
Hell yeah
Now let's just hope it'll work on any machine
Fingers crossed
How big is the folder?

>>31648631
5.82 GBs.

If it doesn't work I'll upload the original file too.

>>31648699
That's still half the size of genso wanderer so not too bad
Don't wanna sound like a broken record but thanks for the effort and dedication, it's been quite a journey

Alright. Here's Nightmare of Rebellion with the expansion prepatched to partial English.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1HK8EEMqM5T42LG9J8DefbQFs-kfAfbYf/view

Also here are the .Tarc files from before I patched them. Just replace the respective .Tarc files to get the game back to its original state.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Vknvp3yEEhBBi-VgSchYfYEBY-GfpGNU/view

I hope these work for you guys, not sure if this will all solve the DRM stuff, but it's worth a go.

If it doesn't there is a 50% off sale on DLsite and new users get a 300 yen off coupon and a 18% off coupon, so it's not a total loss.

We should do more threads where we just hunt games down.

Do you all have any other games you've had your eyes on that have proven to be elusive? I wouldn't mind giving a helping hand in trying to find them.

>>31652504
what's the process like after you buy it?
do you just download the installer and run it? i'm really curious how it generates the license

>>31653367
When you download it, you'll get a set of 9 .rars, one of which is actually an exe. What you'll do is either have your locale set to Japan or run the emulator linked earlier in the thread to run the exe(If the bar looks stuck when they're unpacking; just leave it like that till it's done.)

When you have the game installer unpacked you'll want to run it and it will give you a field of questions to fill out. They're in Japanese so I'll type them out in English for non-Japanese speakers.

1. Type in any preferred E-mail.

2. Confirm that E-mail by typing it in again.

3. Enter any preferred username(No idea why.).

5. Type in any preferred password.

6. Confirm that password by typing it in again.

7. Enter the serial number given to you from the page where you were given your .rars.

Once all this is done it should begin installing the game. From there if you want the partial English patches then go to this link https://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php?topic=19674.0 and replace the files downloaded with the respective files in the games Packages folder.

After this you're all set to go.

>>31652595
It's probably better to wait until the current shitposting dies down, needing to bump threads every two hours for a topic as slow as this doesn't feel right.

>>31661884
Will it ever die down though?

>>31667429
I really want to hope it will.

Hope will drive a man mad

>>31610397
You get your fancy stimulus check but at the price of becoming a felon if you watch or stream pirated content as a burger. Pirating in general was already a felony charge, but for some stupid reason they passed it again to broaden the term.

How complete are the partial translations, in terms of gameplay? How complete are the corresponding versions of the games?

>>31652504
As expected it throws out that the license isn't correct, but i'll tinker around to see how it was done way back when and get back to you if i find something out
On another note, with how these commercial fangames have been popping up on steam more and more, there's always a slim chance Strawberry Bose would eventually throw them out there, maybe even outsource a shoddy translation, but a translation nonetheless

>>31698633
For NoR You need to add
127.0.0.1 accounts.hachikuma.net
127.0.0.1 accounts2.hachikuma.net
To your host file, according to archive.
I remember from time to time getting the invalid license message again. You just have to use the keygen again though.

>>31681242
It will also push a man forward.
At least your going somewhere.

>>31502693
bump

>>31703366
Does the keygen work with the latest version?
I don't suppose you could link to it

>>31710333
I found a possible candidate on this Chinese forum, yet I haven't figured out how to elude the Chinese captcha.

Here's the blog http://155384.co/thread-157132-1-1.html



>>31661884
Isn't it better to continue contributing to non-shitpost topics? If we just wait then the board will become filled with nothing but shitposts, and that's not cool.

We should be continuing legitimate discussion to oppose the wave of feces.

>>31712461
I've come across that forum yeah
Seems like you need 100 social credit points to access the download, for all we know it might be hiding a dead link anyhow
I looked through the page's source and couldn't find much insight into bypassing it
It's quite an elusive game for sure

>>31713390
Well; I also found this in the archives

NoR license generator https://mega.co.nz/#!uMtHBT6D!UHG4wQ0NDeGFvNtTMJUuunLHHnpxEzaK2ySKmQXSHRo

Not sure if it'll work as I can't test it now though, but... progress?

>>31713482
Wow
That actually did it
Block the two addresses in the hosts file, delete the old license.dat in the patched game from the mega, throw in the keygen, make a new license, and voila
You might have to run the game a few times since sometimes it shuts off instantly, but i got it to work
I'm glad that all of the effort paid off, the 2014 anons are smiling down at us

>>31713976
Fuck yeah!

Late Merry Christmas /jp/!

Going to archive this mega with a text file of instructions for future anons.

Great job everyone.

>>31714308
Great job, seriously
It's nice to have the entire Strawberry Bose trilogy all neatly zipped up, even translated a little bit
Sapheiros and Devil of Decline are easy enough to find but this last one was a real rollercoaster, feeling really proud

>>31713482
Yes, this is the keygen I used. I was gonna upload it, but guess it's not necessary anymore.

By the way, in case someone is interested in Banquet, here.

It already have the english patch, a little more updated than in Matsuri. I believe in this version is easier to recruit shikigamis the more of them you kill, also post game bosses have unique sprites now.
Please don't mind the half assed image put together in paint.

>>31714521
Hell yeah, thanks a lot anon
It must be second christmas, didn't expect to be grabbing the latest version of that too

https://mega.nz/folder/gpQHlaKa#lyZip1x9uv9jNVP0MCiNzQ

Here's another archive of the license generator with added instructions from >>31713976 for future anons incase the other ever goes down.

>>31714521
Thank you!

This is like endless Christmas.

>>31714647
Oh shit yeah speaking of instructions i forgot to say anything about locale emulating since my PC is already in japanese locale, but i guess that step should be a given
It was a fun couple of days, gonna go to sleep happy, thanks anons

Splendid work, many thanks to the Anons who made this possible!

>>31714521
Didn't that one also have a ton of DRM? Good to see that a download for it finally showed up in any case.

>>31720638
I think so. It's weird, I tested on another pc before upload it.
The normal launcher might give you the invalid license message the first time, but after using the hml_laucher it doesn't. You only need to use the normal launcher once to map your gamepad though.

>>31715114
Thanks again!

>>31703736
True.

>>31721756
This, yeah
I downloaded it last night and it threw up the wrong license message, then i messed around and ran hml_launcher once, and since then everything worked as intended
As far as Strawberry Bose is concerned we should be done, i guess my Sapheiros is 3.0 which doesn't seem to be the latest since i think the latest translation is for 3.1, but that's not the biggest of deals i guess
There's also Mugen no Spellcard which isn't a part of the trilogy, isn't translated at all and doesn't have a license bypass as far as i'm aware, so i haven't been looking into it so far

I'm not even too into playing fangames (bc I have a hard time finishing games/toho fangames tend to be difficult) but I would hate to see these fall through cracks. You all are wonderful.
I'll see how much space I have on my spare computer and archive what I can.

>>31747634
Thanks anon, that was basically the intention, archiving stuff in case it ever goes poof or if there's ever a purge
They might be fangames that not many of us played and maybe not too many will be interested in, but i think that makes it even more worthwhile to preserve, because they were so rare and all

thanks anon, I never played these games or even heard of them until today. But I'm gonna check em out and enjoy them.

>>31523346
Is the story fully translated by any chance? Thanks for the sauce anon

>>31757602
Nope, just a partial translation for gameplay and such, but this post has a finer translation >>31714521

Started playing The Genius of Sappheiros thanks to this thread

>Waited a full hour to recruit Byakuren
Well that was unusual

>>31758529
It is weird how that's done. I really only play these games while I work so I just payed attention to work for an hour. I don't if it's worth it to use her where I'm at though. I'm down with the buffs and debuffs, but I'm in the forest getting Alices dolls and my comp is Reimu, Marisa, Sakyua, Patchouli, and Sanae, which has been working out really well.

Thing is I love Byakuren so I don't really know if I should use her anyways.

>>31759820
Well eventually you will need multiple teams in dungeons anyway so leveling up everyone is necesessary at some point.

>>31759820
Byakuren is the only source of dark magic damage other than Satori after you start grinding her spells, which is a good way to deal with human enemies through the whole game besides Nitori's guns. But yeah, you'll need everyone so it's good to change your party often, and don't forget you can do it in the middle of a dungeon too so don't be afraid to spend all your SP and then swap in someone who has a similar role.

>>31714409
This.

>>31565744
Fuck, I saw this post way too late. Can anyone else upload it again? Please.

>>31779182
You could just grab it here >>31652504

For original Japanese just replace the .Tarc files included in the download. It's explained in the post.

and use the license gen here >>31714647 to get rid of the DRM Fuckery.

I'll also check my pc for the original rar from the post, but I may have deleted it.

>>31771228
Patchouli have light and dark magic too, royal flare is light magic and silent selene is dark if i recall correctly.

>>31784014
Patche

>>31779415
Oh, I hadnt noticed. Thanks for pointing it out.

Does Sappheiros have missables like items or quests? Can you return to previously cleared stages?

>>31796324
Two things I know of.

You can recruit Byak and Mokou immediately through an esoteric series of acts.

Byak: Go to the shrine where you meet Murasa. And. Sit for one hour.

Mokou- Go to the Bamboo Thicket and go Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right.


Also there are vending machine codes for Rinnosukes shop, but it's not recommended you use those on initial playthroughs.

>>31803388
also good to note that bamboo thicket wont appear until you talk akyuu. dont know did you have to talk her even twice, i recall she talked about mokou and after that thicket appears. also its famous konami code that is used to get mokou.

Also those are not necessarily missable since you will get mokou and byak to join you at eientei if i recall correctly, but if you want to level up them earlier then it is good to pick them up at start. Also i remember that some of the items in later stages are hidden really bullshit way, mostly orihalcum pieces that you need for top tier gear.

>>31796324
I'm pretty sure that there is nothing that you can miss forever, a patch even added the ability to rematch the final boss, just to let Satori learn her attacks, and you can visit previous areas every time you want

>>31803388
>>31804061
Excellent.

I don't suppose anyone could link the latest version of patched sapheiros?

>>31804351
Try downloading the 3.0 version from moriyashrine and apply the 3.1 patch from https://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/The_Genius_of_Sappheiros

>>31804715
Isn't this patch just the translation for the 3.1 version?
I didn't think it updates 3.0 to 3.1

>>31805199
Try this, it's the full English 3.01 version
https://litter.catbox.moe/m43yvv.rar
feel free to reupload somewhere else since catbox will eventually delete it

>>31715114
>i forgot to say anything about locale emulating
You reminded me I forgot to do that. I can't be arsed to change it back though. Locale Emulator does the job well enough.

>>31714521
Finally found the list of changes from 2.0, since the official site doesn't seem to be working.
https://w.atwiki.jp/maroku/pages/351.html
It's less than I expected (mostly just a few balance changes) but it might change things slightly for a replay of the game.

>>31819959
Thanks you!

How do you scan the enemies that are "too strong"? Tried reducing their HP without killing them and the scan still failed.

>>31824125
You can scan only enemies that are lower (or equal?) level than aya if i recall correctly, so grinding time, also prety sure you get scans from bosses automaticly in 3.0

>>31825011
Thanks. And talking about versions, I was playing 3.0 and switched my save to 3.1, did the game really get smaller? Went from 700MBish to 595MB.

I thought maybe anon uploaded the wrong version by mistake but no, the readme does say Weekend 3.1.

>>31825213
dunno, i have 3.01 version and its 616MB

>>31816504
Well it seems to that they made it easier to get shikigamis to join, i remember that i killed like +300 metal yukkuris to get it to join back in day and also grinding yukkuri sisters/king yukkuris like a mad man without getting one.

Kinda funny too that they buffed spear skills to be faster considering remi was already fastest character in game even though you can use any weapon on any character but i guess she is still considered spear user since she starts with one.

>>31826010
Here's another page with the changes.
http://blog.livedoor.jp/maroku/archives/38152272.html
Basically, if you get to the amount of kills related to the percentage of a rarity without recruiting a shikigami, the next time you kill them you'll be guaranteed to get them. IIRC most yukkuris are rank E, meaning 1/256 chance per fight, so if you don't get them after 256 kills you're guaranteed to get one.

>>31825295
That's simply because the 3.0 version hosted on moriashrine still contains a 128mb backup folder (probably pre-translated files)

>>31806339
>>31819959
Just opened my eyes, thanks anons

>>31826361
Another thing I noticed: you can see at which level shikigami skills and passives unlock, and holy shit this is extremely helpful.
I don't think I'll be able to resist beating the game again, time to put everything else in the backlog.

>>31830681
Pretty sure that was in 2.11 already, or maybe i just been dreaming and having dejavu. I too have hard time resisting to start marathoning whole trilogy again or rather playing through GoS & upgraded DoD again and playing through NoR first time, shame that my backlog is already like hundred games long.

Well since we're talking about fangames, what others did you anons enjoy?

>>31839212
The Gensou Shoujo Taisen games and the Labyrinth of Touhou games are really good.

>>31844015
Labyrinth of Touhou is the shit.

I've been playing 2, but I once read that the first was better balanced, so I'm going to play that one immediately after.

>>31839212
Touhouvanias, Super marisa land and new super marisa land for platforming itch.

Megamari and Takkoman for megaman type of games.

Marisa and alice's trap tower and Nitroid are also nice puzzle platformers.

I really liked Takkoman and Nitroid even though never finished Nitroid and they are kinda more obscure and not so well known like touhouvanias, marisa land games or rpg games like LoT and GoS

Also lots of good OSTs in fangames i must say.

Did I miss something?

>>31844015
Hmmm, bad luck
The Moriya link to the full Labyrinth of Touhou 2 seems to be broken
I wonder what's up with that

>>31839212
One I always enjoy playing now and then is Touhou Rhythm Carnival. Luna Nights is also a fun one but I think just about everyone knows about it.
Also, building on your question I was wondering if anyone knew of any Western fangames that are good? I've done some searching but all I've seen were games that can be completed in 10 minutes and projects that are currently in development.

>>31887096
maybe one of the anons here has it archived, it was Labyrinth of Touhou 2 - Plus Disk version 1.203 i believe

>>31888595
>games that can be completed in 10 minutes
saddening...

>>31889451
Done!!!

Speaking of good OSTs in fangames. This song caught me completely off guard; blowing my mind the first time it dropped solid.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MLBf27n7_QU

>>31897528
You're amazing anon, thank you thank you!

>>31897528
>Speaking of good OSTs in fangames. This song caught me completely off guard; blowing my mind the first time it dropped solid.
Yeah happend to me too, really good piece.
Also thanks for patched LoT2 i had only vanilla without eng patch.

>>31897528
this appears to be the base version of labyrinth 2, i think plus disk's latest version is 1.107 and the exe has プラスディスク in the name, but i may be wrong
either way thank you very much

>>31853366
What are some Touhouvanias you'd recommend?
The only one i know is Luna Nights

>>31900081
as i understand with touhouvania people always mean orginal two touhouvanias, Koumajou densetsu and Koumajou densetsu 2 Stranger's Requiem. Luna nights might be castlevania/metroidvania style game but i dont consider it as touhouvania since by touhouvania people usualy always mean orginal ones.

>>31898840
The 1.107 patch is on the official site and its translation is on http://www.shrinemaiden.com/index.php?topic=28.60, but I can upload my game folder if anyone wants it

>>31905274
sure, that'd be great

koish

>>31905274
Hey anon, if you're still around then that would be very appreciated
Looks like Plus Disk is a separate version that adds a bunch of content and new characters, so it'd be neat to have if you could share it
Otherwise i'll keep looking around for it, it's on DLSite for what it's worth so it's not lost media by a long shot

>>31934004
I'm uploading it right now, I just realized that there is a problem with the fonts on Windows 10 and I was trying to fix it

>>31934463
I saw something about that, something about needing to install extra fonts to run the game properly. "You will need to copy the dfminc.ttc and hgrpp1.ttc font files to your fonts folder".
Seems like both of these fonts are also in the folder of Labyrinth 1 that was uploaded here a few posts above, so they should be easy to get ahold of. Worth a shot

>>31934463
>>31934890
Nevermind, my bad, that's for Labyrinth 1, duh
For Labyrinth 2 it seems to be "meiryo.ttc"

>>31934004
Done!
https://litter.catbox.moe/5kv463.rar
>>31934980
Yeah, I figured that out and added meiryo.ttc and meiryob.ttc from Win7 in the game folder, if you're using Win10 just open those files and install the font
You will still get some minor issues, but those were also present on Windows 7

>>31935403
Amazing work anon, everything works as it should
Thank you very much!

Can someone write a tl;dr guide for dummies such as I?

>>31966506
Did you set your System Locale to Japanese?

>>31966856
considering he have problem with every game its most likely the cause.

>>31849276
For the original games, LoT2 was much more balanced I think. Post game for both was a mixed bag, but the Ver 2 last boss of LoT1 is insane compared to LoT2s. I haven't played the append disk of LoT2 so I can't compare those.

>>31819959
Now we just need the PSP version to get translated. OH wow, it has a PS4 and switch version now too.

>>31900367
These look neat, interesting artstyle for a 2hu game for sure
I'm more partial to the metroid kinda exploration / power up based gameplay though and it seems like they're more akin to traditional castlevania if i'm not wrong

>>31502693

Is this cover art by the guy who did Moetan?

>>32026687
Yup, POP did all cut-ins and cover/title art. All the tummies are delicious (especially the final boss).

Any other fangames worth playing that haven't been brought up yet?
I've seen Genso Wanderer get recommended here and there, it does look very cute

>>31876583
No, I was just poking fun at the game for being a grindfest when no game differs.

This isn't the thread, but in FMW - Version E, Sakuya is having her way with me.
She is murdering everyone one by one. It doesn't help that she gets her HP back each time she uses a spellcard.

Yup, looks like I went all in my DoD new version run. No idea if Xia's first fight got nerfed because I kind of fucked up a lot against her but still managed to beat her in the first try, shame she still has no weaknesses and way too much RES though.

>>32076357
Actually, judging by >>31826361
>朱麗/HP45005555,INT100110,攻撃力200215
They buffed her instead. What the fuck.

>>32028772

Can you post that?

>>31988947
I found that the PS4 and Switch versions of GoS perform significantly better than the Vita version. The load times on the latter are horrendous.

Speaking of which, I dumped the Switch .nsps of GoS and DoD. I downloaded them directly from freeshop a year ago, so I'm not sure if there are newer updates., and whether the dumps work (you might have to force installing unsigned code).

Might as well post the sprite rip (from 2.0 so it doesn't have any of the new bonus boss sprites) that I have no idea where I found it: https://files.catbox.moe/f4y82d.7z
Also, I just found out that >>31714521's download has a patch applied that displays more detailed information about skills and makes learning them easier, but I don't mind that at all.

>>32077675
Wouldn't surprise me, seeing how much more BS they made nightmare of rebellion after version 2.

>>32081046

Cheers.

Got curious and found this thread: https://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php?topic=19674.0 (didn't even know they're still alive, what the fuck)
>See, in GoSV, they made it so that your stat growths start about the same, but at level 70 they're about the level of the PC version's level 99, and then go further beyond that to level 99, where some characters actually manage to cap their most powerful stats.
I remember the 3.0 experience curve making it easy to hit level 70 way before the end of the game so what the fuck. I'm curious about the result now, I guess that means I'll have to replay GoS too soon.

>Devil of Decline
>Nightmare of Rebellion
I'm happy you guys are happy, but

I just want Genius of Sappheiros V

>>32090225
>Genius of Sappheiros
Worth a play?

>>32097000
Easily the best RPG they made.

>>32108828
Maybe little harsh to say "easily" condering Devil of Decline was also really good and probably only reason it didnt get so much praise was that it never got translation and because of that not as many people played it, cant really comment on NoR since i never played it past intro. But yeah GoS is their masterpiece, there is no denying that.

>>32109547
I agree that DoD is very good, it's just that I find GoS to be even better due to how well the growth system works and how each character is kind of unique (unlike in DoD where it's all about the shikigamis, and the playable characters aren't much more than piles of stats). Not saying that DoD lacks depth, it's just a different kind of depth that I personally didn't find as satisfying as GoS, despite the fact that I've replayed it far more often.
I'm in the same boat regarding NoR too, hopefully I can get the link in this thread to work so I can finally give it a try.

What are some PORN fangames?

>>32080607
I don't have either console, but its good to know someone has those.

>>32131523
All of era.
If you can call them that.

>>31652504
>>31713976
Oh shit it works. Fuck yeah piracy.
Better get done with this DoD run as soon as I can, I'm a bit excited now.
>>32131763
I'm pretty sure that the Switch is easy to emulate so someone should give them a try, not me because I've yet to try that out so I don't know how to set it up.

It's nice to have an archive of these things.
Please, everyone, create as many mirrors as you can.

>>32146166
I tested both games in yuzu, seems to work fine. I can provide my key files and a firmware.

download the key files (2 .keys files)
https://mega.nz/file/2AQwmBYJ#yvMpsmJ72zVv8EO2W0Y9qhPFShHsjrhw7gF7rrnpWog
download the firmware dump (219 NCA files)
https://mega.nz/file/KNImyBgL#cIMf3hVSUcaO4G0hln5StsMTokoPEZH6XSNwgat-Q2s
get yuzu
https://yuzu-emu.org/downloads/

install, then enter those links in the address bar in windows explorer (linux users see the yuzu quickstart guide):

%appdata%\yuzu\
create keys folder, copy both .keys files here
%appdata%\yuzu\nand\system\Contents\registered
dump 219 firmware files into this folder

launch yuzu, use the "install to nand" option on the top left and select the .nsp game files. Then just doubleclick to launch

>>32151865
This thread keeps giving. Are Switch roms hackable enough for someone to be capable ofinserting the translations into them yet?

>>32157807
of course. Just recently some translators finished a layeredFS mod for Nocturne HD, for example. In the case of these games though I don't know what complications could arise.

Poor Tenco.

Question if anyone knows for sure
When I played DoD last year I had attempted to boost my drop rate as much as I could, spending hours grinding Star Platinum for the Thieves Gauntlets, promptly upgrading them to Ninja Gauntlets when I eventually got them.
So the question is if I could go back to killing Star Platinums for another Thief Gauntlet or can I not have both Thief and Ninja at the same time?
Also I never could figure out how to kill Yukkuris, even with Sakuya buffed Tenshi double casting Tenshi Funnels still felt like I was only killing one out of every ten encounters

>>32163250
Not sure about gauntlets, but for yukkuri killing you want to have physical multi-hit moves, they are prety much immune to all magic, there is also some shikigami with great yukkuri kill moves cant just recall other than one of the password character called melon-chan that had thousand needles or something alone those lines called attack that is prety good yukkuri killer iirc, not sure if some other shikigami have that attack.
https://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Devil_of_Decline/Characters/Melon-chan

>>32163250
>So the question is if I could go back to killing Star Platinums for another Thief Gauntlet or can I not have both Thief and Ninja at the same time?
Yes, you can get another drop after upgrading it.

>>32080607
>I found that the PS4 and Switch versions of GoS perform significantly better than the Vita version. The load times on the latter are horrendous.
How much?
>vita
Discontinued. no hope of improvements.

>>32172510
you mean, how much worse the vita port is compared to every other version? Stage and battle transitions all take at least 5 seconds. With the latter it's really jarring to stare at a empty battlefield for a few seconds before the actual fight starts. Both these are spontaneous on PC, 1-2 seconds on PS4 and less than a second on Switch (same for yuzu).

Just a few seconds anon, I mean come on! is what you might say, but the way GoS is, it stacks up quickly and saps your will to play when you remember what the original was like.

So anyone doing any challenge runs? I been trying to get 100% run done quite long time now on both GoS and DoD but i usually get bored half way and after sometime when i come back to it i just start new save and same thing repeats. 100% meaning all drops/treasures, items crafted and all shikigamis on DoD and on Gos All drops/treasures, all satori skills and all items crafted and i guess all formations even though to this day i am not sure how to get all hidden formations.

>>32172981
also all aya scans on GoS which i forgot.

>>32172981
I went for all shikigamis (other than yukkuris) and all Satori spells (other than the really obnoxious support ones) on my runs, but I can't imagine how grindy getting all drops and crafting should be given the material drop rates.

>>32172653
>less than a second on Switch
How in the hell?

>>32184773
Going for all satori spells on older versions was really something considering some of the spells could only be gained by mind controlling boss and using their skill on satori and her learning rate was also only half of what it is in current versions iirc.

>>32189906
worse optimization, console performance, I don't know. RS2, EasyRPG and Atelier also performed worse on Vita.

>>32193469
i guess it have something to do with fact that it is older console and handheld console but i guess switch is handheld aswell.
t. actually owning switch but never used it

>>32191591
I remember there being a patch for 2.0 that changed the learning and drop rates, (not so) fun times. And then they implemented all of that into 3.0.

>>32193469
It's an old console but the fucking switch is a mystery when the 4 pro exists. PC makes sense but that varies.

>>32213134
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVnbF3s4WB8

>Why is OUT so fucking good
I don't know. I'll probably look for some other stuff they composed as well.

>>32222182
it's worth noting that the switch port was developed last, so they had plenty time to optimize.
Note that I played the PS4 port on the standard console, so I can't tell if it performs better on pro/5.

Why didn't you faggots introduce me to this franchise sooner!?

>>32246865
>Why didn't you faggots introduce me to this franchise sooner!?
Sorry dude. Like what you see?

>>32173107
Kimeemaru disturbs me.

What games would Nitori play? Would she just create them and nothing more? She's practically a jack of all trades.

>>32162165
I think Meiling is facing the wrong way there.

>>32172653
I played the non-weekend version of GoS several years ago, maybe a couple versions before then. And it had massive memory leaks.

>>32205239
There was also a custom patch to increase rates too, I played before it even existed and getting some skills were a god damn pain.

>>32277216
I remember, the people in threads back then all reported a plague of bugs. As if the game wasn't fiendish enough, imagine getting a crash during the credits. Thankfully the game saved after the final boss died

https://nyaa.si/view/1058859
You guys might wanna check this out
I dunno what all is in there but it might have some rare fangames

>>32280646
I don't think I ran into that many bugs other than the memory leak. There were a few strange things in the last level of the main game, but I don't think they were really bugs.

Angra is always such a pain, glad to be done with her on the second try.
Now time to see if I remember anything from the post-game.

.

>>32280780
Nice find.
I don't check the sites often but I'll see what it has.
It's easier than hunting things down one by one.
>Touhou 12.8-16
>2018-07-21 10:25
The others can be found with relative ease.

So this is the end? It was a nice thread, hopefully we can find room to have more like it if mods ever fix the mess they've made and /jp/ goes back to its usual speed.
Until then, have a last bump from me.

>>32332798
>So this is the end?
No. I haven't gotten around to playing it yet.

>>32087078
>(didn't even know they're still alive, what the fuck)
Imagine my shock, I forgot about that site.

>>32087078
you really didn't need high stats to even beat the expansion, but that extra dungeon at the very end was fucking crazy hard. I only made it a few screens and quit.

so, for either GoS or DoD, or both, which boss gave you the most trouble?

I felt legit despair with the pre-expansion final boss in GoS. For countless attempts I felt so close and that I was just missing a tiny bit, and then I got creamed anyway. So I was at a complete loss how to approach it until I decided to funnel all my attackers into party 2, disregard all defense in phase three and dump all my hardest hitting attacks + timestop without bothering to keep land element at neutral. That did the trick

>>32384862
In DoD first stratum tower boss, until i learned that second stratum boss is way easier and first one becomes easier after you get ability to recruit shikigamis with satori which required you to beat atleast one tower, also the fact that you get good light elemental shikigami Ran from second stratum which is really good aganist second stratum tower boss.

I really like the look of first stratum tower boss though, kinda like yoshika and that jiangshi style is always been close to my heart.

Also Bosses in vanilla GoS in last dungeon where you need to split in three parties back in day when i played through it without expansions, i needed to use some cheesy bullshit to beat one them with pretty much solo sakuya iirc.

>>32385380
It's like Bose made Xia take forever on purpose because you can nullify most of her damage with Water Wall and Psychic Field, so they gave her no weaknesses and a pile of defenses to chew through. It's pretty cruel for her to be the first boss you'll find exploring though, I wonder if her being the last boss you're intended to fight despite that is also a reference to something like most of their games. She's a fucking cute indeed.
As for which boss gave me the most trouble, I can't recall everything perfectly right now so I'll go with her as well. Even knowing about this cheesy strategy, she still hits really hard and will usually kill the backline in one hit when she feels like ignoring your frontline for no reason, not to mention how you need to keep an eye on your land levels since her spell card can also inflict instant death once the water level is high enough.

>>32388210
Xia? i though her name something different or atleast wiki told her name was Sha Juri, and she is beatable as long as you have ice/water barrier but you really need it for her aoe attacks. Otherwise just overleveled hus and nuke.
Also funnily enough name of those intro bosses are along with something with nigger, or atleast what i got when i tryed to translate that shit.

.

>>32390435
Her name is 霞 朱麗, Xia Zhuli is what the translation went with.

>>32390435
Powerful shoulders.

>>31667429

>>31888595

>>32424146
>boats
They faded from memory.
How long was the /b/ flood

.

DoD's balancing really seems to be entirely centered on hitting elemental weaknesses and making bosses have them with debuffs, it's silly how much your damage increases by doing that.

>>32446624
>it's silly how much your damage increases by doing that.
How much? Rough estimate % wise.

>>32456540
For instance, a normal hit using the Ice Sword against Mima (not a spoiler since she's in the fucking cover) was around 140 damage, a normal crit was around 700, and a hit after making her weak to water was around 1400. Maybe that's why so many bosses don't have any weaknesses, you're supposed to force them using Special Missile, Magical Hammer or Lick.

>>32433045
not very, a month or two

>>32280780
Dug around a little, a bunch of stuff in the torrent is outdated, for example all the strawberry bose games are inferior to the ones we already found over the course of the thread

I still don't know what the fuck this option does

>>32459185
>a normal hit using the Ice Sword against Mima was around 140 damage, a normal crit was around 700
>maybe that's why so many bosses don't have any weaknesses
That certainly sounds like fun. Is there anything that boosts the crit rate?

>>32478571
Bro it's just the settings

>>32469434
Well, is there anything else or is it a manual hunt?
