Thread dedicated to the archival and preservation of Touhou Fangames

tl;dr: some twitterite is snitching and getting fangames taken down from Moriyashrine.

In response we are compiling all known touhou fangames into a giant torrent.

Yeah, he's an ass, but I agree our number one priority should be preservation. Focus on preserving the shrine works first. However, I'm concerned that people like him aren't going to stop at fangames and might go after other Touhou works like the doujins. It might be a good idea to back those up as well.

350 fangames in here. I'm an archive autist, have been archiving 2hushit for about 5+ years now, most of the fangames I've played came from doujingravity. I do remember some japanese-only sites I found when I was trying to find more obscure fangames, but I'm not sure I can find that anymore.
If I have time, I might help with this project, would fit with my autism. I'm the same guy that archived the Touhou Opera livestream thing a while back, hopefully I can do some magic here too.

I think it goes up to level 100, and I think every 25 levels you fight a boss. Daiyousei appears at 25, but I only tried it a couple of times so I never got to 50. You can see the level you're currently at at the bottom of the screen

After the fairies "die", they fall towards you. If you keep shooting them at that point, they'll blow up, but if you don't shoot them, you can touch them to eat them, which increases your meter. Your meter is reduced over time or by taking damage.
Fill your meter to enter rainbow mode, empty your meter to die.

The translations for FMW2 and FMW3 are here.

The FMW4 one is very incomplete, so I'd reccomend you use this one someone from /v/ made last yeasr based on the LP translation.

All of them are partial translations, but they are all very playable.


>>39227712
BTW, I'm doubtful on whether or not send the FMW files later on like they are on Moriya (plus the /v/ patch for FMW4), or send them prepatched.
In the case of FMW2, I've heard of some people having issues with the final boss, which can cause the game to softlock, though it never happened to me.

How big are the uploads? Worst case you could use anonfiles, or create your own torrent and share it when we're about to get compiling.
Adding the games into the document/list so we know what we have is priority now anyway.
I'd put forth a current plan like this:
1. Document what we have and what we got from the panic downloading at the start.
2. Check out what we think is missing, old and/or rare which could be worth preserving. Then find it.
3. Compile it into a torrent for fangames.
4. Look to other avenues (print works, music CDs, non-H doujins) if we have any energy left.

I've played it again, gotten to level 75 and I have a better idea of the game's systems now.
The game is divided into "levels", each level lasts 12 seconds, besides boss levels. Each level consists of a single pattern of fairies, and if all the fairies are gone, either because you ate them or because they fell off screen, then they'll respawn in the exact same pattern that they were in before so long as there's a bit over 3 seconds left in the level. As soon as the level's timer reaches 1-2 seconds the living fairies on that stage will repeat, and when the timer hits 0 the next level starts which marks the start of the next pattern of fairies. They'll appear even if there are defeated fairies from the previous level on screen. The icons on the bottom of the screen indicate how many fairies will appear in that level and which colors, but this isn't too useful since you have maybe a second to look at it before they start spawning.
Every 10 levels an "Accident" occurs, which is a hazard caused by another character during that level, excluding boss levels. The order of the Accidents isn't randomized, and the ones I saw were Cirno snowflakes, China kicking you, Yuuka sunflowers, Marisa(?) stars, Tenshi rocks and Tewi rabbits. The sole exception to the 10 levels rule was Kogasa, who appears at level 65. Isn't that surprising?
Bosses appear every 25 levels, and the time limit on their level is 40-45 seconds long. Unlike normal levels once you defeat them their level will immediately end. I haven't tried timing them out, but I assume that they just leave if you do. The bosses I encountered were Daiyousei, Lily White, and the Three Fairies of Light. I assume that Cirno is the final boss.
The icon in the bottom left just lets you know if the next level will be a normal level, an Accident level, or a boss level. If it's a normal level then the color indicates at least one of the fairies on that level is of that color, but you have no way of knowing the amount or the overall mix.
Your hunger meter increases every time you reach rainbow mode, and the general flow of the game is that you want to figure out the quickest way to clear the current level's pattern and then repeatedly do so to raise your meter as much as possible. If you're about to reach a boss level it may be worth not entering rainbow mode since that rapidly drains your hunger meter.

He took advantage of the situation by urging circles to pull works from Moriya while the official games were being DMCAed and doubled down on his stance in his pastebin explanation. He may lay low for the time being, but there is no guarantee that we are in the clear.

Looking at his twitter, he seems to be part of a group that wants to be more accessible to western fans and holds a heavy anti-piracy stance by urging people to buy the games, even the ones not available through Steam. He retweets another translator named IceFairy who lists alternative payment options for Touhou games and lists all the translation works they have done through reaching out to Japanese doujin circles. I have heard anons say Hakanai is trying to be the Fakku of Touhou and that seems like an apt comparison.

In short, DO NOT LET YOUR GUARD DOWN. Assume this will happen again and focus on preserving works at high risk of disappearing. The shrine is first priority, but other nontorrent hosts such as Dynasty Scans may become a target down the line.

This is NOT a call to raid. Going after them will solve nothing. The safest option is to simply have a backup torrent of everything we can gather. Preservation is key.

It's fine since we already have everything from there. All I can think of them doing now is trying to host torrents for everything, but it's not going to be as efficient as All-In-One packs that essentially advertise seeding the entire thing.

It was mentioned before, but the most probable thing they could do is have an anonymous source that totally isn't one of the admins throw up a torrent with literally everything the sites hosted. Considering how it's been hosting games for years they have more than enough benefit of the doubt that Blue or any other wannabe can't actually get a hit on them even if the admin in question is retarded enough to seed from his own house.
Of course, that's just an ideal scenario and doesnt encompass stuff that wasn't on the sites servers at the time and stuff that never was there in the first place, but it'd be a pretty good start.

imo having the raws is just as important when it comes to the printworks so it'd be double the work trying to save it all. Also iirc every other Touhou wiki also has the printworks original text. If that went away expect a global level of panic and freakouts in the fandom.

Anyone interested in archiving Moyashi Monogatari? I can't find any downloads for it on English sites. It's available on the dev's website but when I tried to download it from his google drive it required him to let me view it, if anything happens to him it could be lost forever.

I have MOST stuff already done.

https://www.mediafire.com/file/ap8q004rro3l82r/Touhou_print_works.zip/file

The file only lncludes english translations. The file also doesn't include CiLR as I'm still transcribing it and currently only have 4 chapters done. But it looks really ugly (I have no idea how to actually do stuff like that) as you can see here.

https://www.mediafire.com/file/s2dg70clgms2vtp/CiLR.zip/file

So yeah, if some of you have a better quality copy of it then please send. I will still continue to work on my transcription (don't really know if I can even call it like that).

Also I noticed that I don't have Who's Who of Humans & Youkai in Gensokyo (and the entirity of SCoOW to begin with). I know that it's on wiki but I don't really have time to do anything with it myself (I am having a REALLY busy week). If any of you guys also have a copy of it then please send.

And yeah I will be making updates in this thread, but if you want to you can finish the whole thing youselves.

SoPM and PMiSS are both in html and pdf forms.

Other than that it feels like everything else is here. FS and LE are fan-translations, not official ones. If you see that something is missing or have any problems then feel free to point it out.

Oh and also I don't have a nyaa account so someone else will have to post it there (although it would be cool if you could wait until the whole thing is finished as again, I will be making updates; and please don't post it as a .zip file).

There is no proper rip of Rainbow-Colored Septentrion yet! The one in Moriya Shrine was a really low quality MP3 Rip.
There is a better version on VK, but no download for it. Just a stream of it.

It seems that apart from the 1st new track about wolves, the 2nd track "Illusionary White Traveler" from HSiFS has different instrumentation. The last track seems to be just a copy paste of UM's "Where Is That Bustling Marketplace Now ~ Immemorial Marketeers" but poorly recorded? Hard to say if the CD itself has poorly mastered tracks or not.

>> No.39270538

>>39270368
immemorial marketeers is noticeably different in the backing instrumentals, and the trumpet starts to sound multi-layered at about 3 minutes in, which it didn't in the original
the changes are really subtle though, especially compared to the older album's rearranges which would add entire new sections or totally different instrumentation
and the reason there's no proper rip is because no one who cares about good quality rips has got hold of it since ZUN only sold it at C99 and everyone who did get it is price gouging the shit out of it

Huh you are right. at about ~2:25 onwards there is a bit more stuff going on, but its really subtle. At ~1:30 onward it seems to be mixed a bit differently, with the vocals and melody taking a bit more prominence over the synth arpeggio? I don't know if its just the VK stream but the percussion instruments seems a bit more low-fi / quieter as well.

USB3.0 has a much higher ceiling than any hard drive on the market now. you shouldnt have any problems with speed vs direct sata/sas.
As for reliability, I usually buy WD easystore externals because they (sometimes) come with asmedia controllers on their USB/sata board, which I can use after shucking the drive and sticking it in a disk shelf.

There are two reasons. The first is the person's own admitted reason, moralfaggotry. They've quite literally said that piracy of fangames isn't fair to people who've bought it, even if you quite literally have no way of obtaining the game otherwise. They acknowledged that some games would be forever lost this way, but seemed to view it as an inevitability instead of something that should be fought against.
The other reason is that this twitterite is a translator for fangames, and one of the circles whose games they've got taken down also happens to be a circle who they're currently translating a game for.

But pirated version is still the preferable way to play because Steam versions don't work with vsync patch.
Also after all these years ZUN still haven't bothered moving all the text and UI elements into some easily accessible and editable files to at least allow Day 1 translations.
I consider piracy to be mandatory for Touhou to function at all and half-assed Steam releases (that should've happened 5 years sooner) haven't changed my mind on this in the slightest. I do buy Touhou on Steam but I see it as ZUN's tip jar rather than legit game purchases.

There might be new happening quite soon considering there was news back in january that Japan starts building new anti piracy coalition with western companies to eliminate anime and manga piracy, doujin stuff can very well be in same scope.
They said that new anti piracy organization will launch around april of this year, so during or after this month we might see takedowns in nyaa or panda or even imminent death of sites like that.

>Nikkei Asia reported on January 1 that companies and organizations from over 13 countries are cooperating to form the International Anti-Piracy Organization (IAPO), which will launch in April.

>IAPO will work to curb the piracy of manga and anime and also assist law enforcement with criminal investigations in the field, especially when those criminal investigations require cooperation from law enforcement in multiple countries.

Well like news said that they are ready to turn heat on governments if police is unwilling to do anything for it, naturally countries like Russia won't give shit but small countries like Netherlands is possible to be negotiated with.
Also most of those sites are in "europe-dmca-free zones" already but as i understood they are trying to break these zones with this new coalition and if not then that's just gonna be step two.
Unless they just give up after few countries just refuses to cooperate which i doubt when there is plenty of people on board.

Yep, better safe than sorry and save your favorites while you still can.
Need for control will choke and extinguish internet as we know it some day and while there will be altenatives they most likely will be illegal eventually.
Internet was our eras wild west, which get's tamed as time goes by.

Panda is already pretty much dead with the constant dmca bombardment from irodori and fakku, the influx of faggots who "translate" but they can't even into english, other faggots that are only in for the panda dosh and upload spam galleries from twitter and pixiv, old fags not contributing that much or at all anymore, etc.

At least parodies are safe from that bullshit because not even those psychopaths are crazy enough to believe they own the rights to established series (meaning they can't DMCA those), it's only original works that are constantly at risk.

>> No.39332839

>>39332684
Yeah I forgot to mention that, it's mostly original doujins and manga from the usual suspects publishers most of the times although fakku sold some parody doujins as well if I remember correctly and irodori just doesn't give a fuck and in their quest to demolish the panda completely they had even parody doujins nuked.
