If you're new to Touhou, this thread is for you.
What is Touhou?Touhou is a series of vertical-scrolling shoot 'em up games from Japan. They're all made by a single guy named ZUN. It began all the way back in 1995 and has since given rise to a massive fanbase that produces an extremely large amount of derivative works. If you wish to learn more about Touhou, then head here:
http://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Touhou_WikiWhere can I download the games?All of the official games can be downloaded here:
http://moriyashrine.weebly.com/official-touhou-games.htmlIf you have anymore questions, feel free to ask them in this thread.

Reading a wiki is all well and good, but if you're actually new to the series it would probably be best to learn about lore and characters from the game itself first.

>>4492You won't learn any lore by playing the games themselves, the only thing you will get are characters and their interactions
Atleast that was my personal experience when I first got into touhou, played all the games and only understood the general plot of the games vaguely and knew next to nothing about the lore until I started interacting with the fandom
No.4503

No.4505
>>4503The endings are quite hard to get in most games(except POFV and the fighting ones), so it is pretty likely that a newbie won't see them for a while
Also I always found the touhou mango to be bland and boring Prefer to play the games and fangames instead, but maybe thats just me

Okay, so I'm new to touhou and have been playing the newest ones (10-13). But I want to clear them all on easy, since I'm a huge casual and I don't have enough free time to play until I can clear them on harder difficulties.
My question is, am I going to lose much in history/good gameplay if I don't play the games from the retro era?
And the second question is not really related, but where do you guys find touhou merch? I've seen some people around here post them, but I can only find it on ebay, and I don't have an international credit card (and I live in Brazil), so I can't buy from there.
Thanks in advance.
No.4591
>>4583I don't consider 6 to 9 to be "retro".
6, 7 and 8 are the most popular ones, since they have the main characters which are recurrent in later games, 9 is also kind of popular, but it plays different.
6 is somewhat rushed since it's the first windows one and ZUN had to expend time making the engine, but all of the characters and music in those are very iconic and it's still good overall.
7 is one of the most praised in the community, it has very good gameplay and it's mostly polished, the characters and the music here are very very iconic.
8 is one of my favorites because it has a lot of content and characters to play as, it's somewhat easier than others because it's easier to bomb your way though and the spell cards aren't as hard as 7 or 11. Taking that out is still one of the best in terms of overall content and polishing and also has the most varied amount of iconic characters in one game that isn't a spinoff.
9 is somewhat a spinoff, it's basically like a sequel of Touhou 3 on Windows. It's a PVP game (You can play it on multiplayer online) where you fight side to side shooting at things and throwing spell cards at each other. In Singleplayer you progress through every stage like you would progress in a fighting game, it's definitely the easiest Touhou to 1cc by a longshot.
I would highly suggest playing those, on the other hand the ones from PC98 are considered separated from the windows ones and you will probably not lose anything important in terms of story/gameplay. Even ZUN admits if you put the two eras side to side there are inconsistencies in terms of the story, so there is that.

Hey guys. First-time player here. Well, not exactly, but whatever.
A friend of mine sent me a folder with a few Touhou games. He has told me to beat some of them, under certain conditions. If I manage to win this, I'm getting 25 bucks.
These are the terms:
>I have to beat three games. One of them must be Touhou 10. I can choose the other two. Character is also my choice.
>I must beat them on lunatic mode.
>No continues.
>I need a replay of the three playthroughs.
>If I also manage to beat the secret boss, I get 5 additional bucks.
>I have to beat them before May (because it's his birthday and whatnot).

I want to get into Touhou too. I'm quite a noob when it comes to gaming, but I decided that I want to play Touhou because of all the praising it gets.
When I start a series I always tend to start from the very beginning so I don't miss out on anything important. But I just discovered that each game is inconsistent and some don't have sequels, so now I'm pretty clueless on which game to play first. Someone in this thread mentioned which games he thought were worth playing, but I'd like it if all of you posted which games you think are worth playing, so i can get a more reliable idea on which games I should play.
I went to the site mentioned in the OP, but I'm having difficulties with the PC-98 emulator.
I opened the .zip file in 7zip, then I opened the .exe file, and I was presented with the top window in <pic related>. When I pressed 'Start' the bottom window appeared.
I have no idea what I'm supposed to be doing.
I would really appreciate it if someone helped me with this.

Of note
After posting trends stabilized and the GETball influx was wiped from our UIPs, /2hu/ is slightly fluctuating between a stable 73 and 78 unique posters.
We are also currently highest ranking Japanese flag board on the site. and our ratio is .1PPP.
This is explained as intermittent query and response type posting from a wide range of users scatter across multiple times zones.
Of note
The Meiling youkai discussion resumed last night off board on /int/. While this represents and excellent opportunity to draw fellow primary posters to the home board, it is also quite strange that the best 2hu related /2hu/ thread wasn't actually on /2hu/.

Time to open the case file on the second worst poster, the Hungarian Okuu secondary. I enjoy using the word secondary with regards to it as it seems to trigger it and send it off on fits of rage.
The key thing to look for when identifying the Hungarian Okuu Secondary(HOS) is that besides it's obvious lack of understanding of the workings of Gensokyo, is that for the most part it doesn't even seem to care about Gensokyo. If you notice here

When confronted with it's own secondary nature such as in the chain of posts following
>>13207
After being called out for it's obvious complete lack of understanding in this post
>>13208
It pretends to that it didn't make the post with this post
>>13212
While still trying to force it's head canon. When backed into a corner by posters mentioning that Kaguya being the Kaguya-hime of legend is a well established fact and part of the back stories of other characters it attempts to say that it got the information second hand lulz from another poster in the board months before
>>13217
Strangely enough HOS didn't show up in my records until just before the getball thing began. :^)
Also of note is the fact it doesn't see anything wrong with roleplaying
>>13178
And so of course it dabbles in it it's self.
>>13326
The honking of the last few days can be laid solely at the feet of one buttflustered hun. Of course now that he is being called out he will pretend to be an epic ruseman, and that it was trolling. A typical sad last attempt to salvage some pride when it has been completely broken.

what's the difference between holding shift and not other than it moving slower and your hitbox showing. do you do less damage?

is it fine to start with embodiment of scarlet devil?
No.26807
>>26796
I'm starting out with EoSD myself as the first game I want to try and 1CC.
Using shift is supposed to increase your damage, I believe, but narrow your shot spread. Hence why it should increase damage.
The blue boxes add up for score, and the red boxes increase your power level.
The only advice is to git gud. If you potentially have a learning disability like I seem to, then that could take months, but don't give up. Other people can beat a touhou game in two days, but if you compare yourself to other people then you will crash, burn, and never play again. You should get replays, they're more helpful than youtube videos because they won't have shit quality and you'll be able to see EXACTLY what you must do in order to get through certain sections of the game.
I'm starting with EoSD because it's the first canon game, whether you want to do that as well or not is up to you, but I also suggest beating EoSD first because it's harder than others in the series, so it will make you do well when you pick up the other 2hu games. Good luck.

Marisa A is really tricky, but if you hold down at the bottom of the screen the options will overlap with you so that you get maximum forward damage. Knowing where to set up the options to shoot from safety is also important.
Really though I recommend a different shot type, such as Reimu A or B. Marisa A relies on too much memorization.

Everything made by ZUN is canon. This includes games (everything numbered at least), books and music CDs.
PC-98 games are canon (ZUN himself has confirmed it but people kept retranslating it to make it seem like he said they weren't) but for anything contradictory you should look to the modern games for canon - which was also confirmed by ZUN is roughly the same sentence.
Inaba of the moon and Inaba of the earth is generally considered non-canon due to ZUN being only loosley involved.

I'm not sure why you'd bother with installing even if you had the original discs, though.
It's much easier to just grab the files themselves from the internet and decompress them into a folder - a bonus is that they come pre-patched, more or less.
Side note: change System Locale back to English before patching. Translation patching works well enough for me on an English Locale, so I don't find a need to keep it in Jap Locale.

Newcomer here (sorta) trying to broaden my perspective. It's been about a year since I discovered Touhou, but the ONLY experience I have with Touhou is clearing some of the main games and listening to fan remixes. When I look around online, I of course see people who are into the characters and such a lot more than myself.
So where should I go from here? Like, people seem to know the lore and character personalities very well, and I just don't get the same intimate impression of those things from the games alone. Do you only get that from reading tons of doujinshi and fanart?
Where do I even start and are there even more areas I should be getting into?

Does anyone get screen tearing when playing windowed? I'm using the vsync patch but it doesn't seem to help and might actually be causing it. Also is there a way to play fullscreen without stretching, like a pillarbox (with black bars on the sides)?
No.36027
>>35791
Of course it causes it. The vsync patch is there to disable vsync. Vsync is what prevents tearing. And applications can't use vsync while windowed, so they will tear. My advice to you is to get a monitor that matches the aspect ratio of the games. Since the games are 4:3, you will probably need a CRT. Otherwise, you can try playing windowed and stretch it out to fill your monitor. I think there may be a way to play fullscreen without letterboxing. But I don't know exactly. Try checking the configuration for your graphics driver. There may be an option for it.

No.36250

You can use the vpatch to cap it. Every game until 13.5 is set at a native 640*480 resolution. There's no way to change it although you can stretch it. You can stretch it with the vpatch. The newer games let you play at 1280*960 optionally.

I wanted to get into Touhou and downloaded EoSD after playing IN for a while.
I downloaded the version from the link in the OP and extracted it into a folder and ran it.
Once the game starts loading, it gets stuck on the loading screen and then stops working.
In windowed mode I can hear the menu music after a short while but the game will still be stuck.
I have tried running it with Japanese locale or as an administrator, but no change.
I use Windows 8 as my OS and I doubt further specs will be needed with a game as old as this.

That doesn't seem to change anything I'm afraid.
Vista mode didn't have the program get the "X stopped working" label but it still refused to react to anything and I doubt with this game's age that it would need multiple minutes to load, so it must've frozen as well.
No.37719

Okay, now something really strange is happening.
I tried setting the game to fullscreen after having changed the compatibility mode and it seems to be able to start now.
Problem is, the game runs at an incredibly high speed, probably due to my modern PC by 2002 standards running the frame-based timescale system into the ground.
Turning on the 60 FPS limiter option in the config .exe will just result in the game crashing after starting it without any loading screens or music.
If nobody has any idea on what could be wrong, I'll try getting the game from a different source.

So, I'm having fun playing the games, but don't seem to encounter the heavy lore everyone is creaming themselves over while I was playing them.
Most games only have those short character interactions between fights and that's it, the games also seem too short to show the player and meaningful amount of story.
When I played through IN I had no idea why the moon was hidden/replaced by that fake one and for what purpose, I had no idea who those bunny girls and that pharmacist were, I read that they're from the moon but I don't know shit about the lore and don't know when and where this plotpoint was established.
All I know about the overarching story of 2hu is that there is an enormous plot point related to the moon and that Gensokyo is in a parallel universe locked from the real world with magical monstergirls named Youkai killing people and eating them and that's literally it.
Where do most 2hu fans get their lore knowledge from, should I just play more of the games?
I'm really curious about the story and it seems to be fairly rich.

Dear Boss Fairy,
I'd like to suggest a strict zero tolerance policy towards /pol/-related content on this board.
No matter its original designation or purpose, every non-native /pol/ thread in which /pol/-related content is introduced into tends to derail into a putrid amalgam of pseudoscience, opinions presented as facts, and general rudeness.
While I have no hard evidence on the relation between origin and quality, I have yet to see a humble and polite /pol/-poster, and I believe a lot of other fairies (and Anons) have made a similar experience, which is why I am lancing this proposal and what I would like to appeal to.
I understand that this is what the "Hide" button was designed for, but determined posters are notoriously hard to contain, and while the current situation is comparatively mild, a rising pph and total user count may make /2hu/ a more attractive target in the future (again).

Sorry, I don't see the connection.
Seacats are related to /jp/ and its derivatives - there's a cultural link between them and Touhou. I don't see this link with /pol/.
Additionally, regarding their (his?) presence on this board, interaction often ends light-hearted if humoured and taken humorously. In contrast, people tend to become very abrasive when /pol/ is involved.
>>38259
I have never been to either /pol/ or any board directly affiliated with it, as they are to absolutely no interest to me, and I don't violently inject my topic of choice into every other topic I come across. This kind of very basic politeness is something I expect as a common courtesy.
As I have posted, I'm aware of the "Hide"-button, but I've also said why I still think there's a precedence for taking action.
I understand you suggest applying for janitor?
