Help with Touhou 6-9 on Windows 10 [SOLVED]
« on: October 04, 2015, 05:52:03 AM »
Hello, this is my first post here. You see, since I've upgraded to Windows 10, I've had problems with Touhou 6-9. I looked them up, and saw that someone created a DX8 - DX9 converter, and people were saying it was working for them. I tried it out, and at first I got this error.



So I installed the .DLL, and I got this when I tried to boot the game.



Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks.

One quick Google search later: http://www.techcrises.com/how-to/how-to-fix-error-code-0xc000007b-in-windows-7-8-8-1/

It shouldn't be too different in W10.

Your computer is missing the DirectX9 libraries. Touhou games are made using DirectX9 so you need to have them installed in order to play.

Try that.

In addition to installing DirectX 9, if you want to play the games in fullscreen, use the DX8 to DX9 converter: http://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Game_Tools_and_Modifications#DX8_to_DX9_converter

Edit: Reading failure, didn't notice you're already using the converter. Yeah install the DirectX End User Runtime and that should be enough.

Btw how did you install d3dx9_43.dll? I recommend removing the dll before installing the runtime.

I should also add that when I was re-installing my games on Windows 10 that if you try to install with the Wav music it fails to work, so what you will have to do is install with just midis to get the files created then install again for the Wavs to work. It's a bit of a pain but this was the only way I could find to get it to install properly, I know it may not pertain to your issue directly but just wanted to throw that out there in case someone was having a different issue.

I don't know about those suggestions, I upgraded and had no problems. As a matter of fact, EoSD worked better than it did in 8.1, and PoFV doesn't have random crashes. But everyone's setup is different so...

I got it working with Touhou 6 and 7, but 7.5, and 8 are still having issues, and 9 seems to be having it's own unrelated issues.

EDIT: Turns out there was an error extracting the converter with 7.5 and 8. They're working now.

How's your fullscreen mode? Mine is horrid, still trying to be in full screen but showing the window box as well.

The fullscreen issue is what the DX8 to DX9 converter is for.

I have recently gotten Windows 10 too.
I have the physical copies of 6,8, and 9 (which install the correct DirectX libraries, straight from the disc), so maybe my case is a little different, but...
When I ran the "Classic Era" (I hate calling it that) Touhou games, I was just fine.
(Aside from EoSD, which ran at "lightning speed" when it was in fullscreen for some reason)

Though, what everyone else seems to be saying is correct.
The DirectX files seem to be missing, though typically they come with Windows by default anyway.
Meaning, if you upgraded now (from a previous Windows) and they don't work now, W10 probably screwed up your installation of DirectX.

Also, I noticed your issues seem to be from EoSD (or at least in the pictures you sent)
EoSD is the buggiest of all of the older Touhou and Touhou-related games (aside from Seihou which was annoying to set up on W10, to say the least.)
Because of this, it tends to have the most problems.
My advice to you, is once you take care of your DirectX, run the game in Windowed mode.  It tends to be less buggy that way, for whatever reason.

(Forgot to read later, so...)
PoFV errors are particularly weird to handle, but the same logic still applies.
Do you have any further info on the PoFV errors, so I can help you?

Actually, I just needed to run Touhou 9 in compatibility mode in addition to the DX8 to DX9 converter and it worked fine.
