Renaming it to that STILL doesn't work for me. =

You have to use applocale (Japanese) as well.

I haven't downloaded this yet, but I just realized...if the control lag is fixed, won't that make every single replay made before getting this patch not work?

Nope. Well, it shouldn't.

Just tried it, and the replays work fine. I tried playing an older replay with the vsync.exe as well as a new replay with the normal .exe, and neither of them desynced or did anything.

I've known about this patch for a while now, but I thought for the longest time that all it did was allow you to skip through replays like in the newer games. I can't believe I didn't know of the lag removal.

PCB plays amazingly. I kind of want to play Touhou now :O

Holy shit.  That feels sooooooo much more smooth.

Too bad I suck so badly now that I'm dying on Alice's non-cards and Chalk White Russian Dolls.  (Edit: and Lingering Cold.  Twice.)


Maybe I can stop bitching about the EoSD deathbomb window and finally 1cc it too.

Okay, the vpatch doesn't work for EoSD. I renamed eosde to 東方紅魔郷.exe, run it in applocale, and the lag isn't fixed. When I try to run vpatch.exe, the thing crashes. ???

Yeah...? That's what I did. And it won't run.

It works for PCB though. But I can't run it in English! D: How do you run the vpatch.exe AND have it in English at the same time?

But also, for PCB, I noticed something disturbing...there are these lines that appear constantly. Like refresh lines. It doesn't slow the game down or anything, but it's really distracting and breaks the game flow.

EDIT: Wait, I got it to work.

However, these lines really bug me. They break the flow and such. I realize it's a small price to pay for perfect movement (which is really <3 BTW), but isn't there a way to get rid of these?

Protip: rename th07.exe to th07j.exe and th07e.exe to th07.exe to get it in English.

Because the way this patch works in part is forcing vertical sync off, you will occasionally get "tearing" across frames when they don't align properly due to the lack of vertical sync. This is a mild annoyance at worst and the massive improvement in responsiveness of the games is very much worth it for occasional tearing. Just make sure that you're not using the vsync patch when recording a run for youtube/etc if tearing tends to appear, if you find this to be an issue at all.

Also, curiously enough, the tearing does not occur in IN with vsync off, at least not as far as I can tell. Need to poke around some more in the codebase to see why.

*sigh* That really sucks. Control lag or imperfect graphics? Can't have it all...V_V

But I agree the amazing control increase is worth it. I just wish there was a way to fix this tearing...

Go into the .ini, change vsync from 0 to 1.

The lag is still fixed for me, plus no tearing.

Alas, that only makes it worse. It causes one break to constantly appear in the middle of the screen. Ah well. :(

In other news, thank you so much for showing this to me. I just beat Alice only getting hit on Benevolent Orleans Dolls and Hanged Hourai Dolls. :O

sigh my comp isn't able to type japanese so I can''t rename it properly. Anybody know a site or something that lets me install the japanese input stuff? I don't mean just the font. I mean when you go under regional and languages, advanced, and check japanese, it asks for my windows xp cd which I'm currently too lazy to look for atm.

Since this has kind of turned in to a vpatch help thread, I've been able to get it to work with EoSD, PCB, and MoF (the games I've been experiencing some problems with unpatched).  It apparently also has a fix for Danmakufu, but I get an error in Japanese with the letters "UPX".  That error seems to be listed in the readme file, but that's about as far as I can figure out.

It says the .exe is compressed with UPX and needs to be decompressed first. Google gives me http://upx.sourceforge.net/. You could try that (I've never heard of the program).

Huh, I haven't heard of that before either.  But, decompressing the .exe though that program seems to have done it.  Thank you.  It's good to finally get a constant 60 FPS in windowed mode.

Most of what vpatch does is pretty self-explanatory, but does anyone know what the following entries in vpatch.ini are for?

SleepType = 1
BltPrepareTime = 4
AutoBltPrepareTime = 1
AlwaysBlt = 0

On Vista, I still can't get the patch to work with EoSD; I've tried renaming the .exe and all that jazz (as well as the whole "because Vista sucks, always remember to run everything under admin mode"). Anyone have any ideas?

I don't have vista, and I rarely use it. so I don't know if you can even do what I suggest but. Assuming you haven't already, did you try turning your vsync and TH06 exes property settings for earlier windows compatibility? (doing that never works for me with anything but other people claim it does for them, bleh.

It's worked for me for PCB, IN, SA, MoF. But It doesn't like TH09. anybody been able to get it to work for that one? Kinda a shame since the input lag on that one is about as bad as pcb too for me.
