O mi god where can I get this?
EDIT: Where can I get the sprites for Touhou Pocket Wars?

I do not distribute.
Because, perhaps I will be punished:o

So how exactly do you extract data from Marine Benefit? And is it possible to repack the data?
Because... as I will hopefully be finishing the translations soon, we should be looking into the possibility of an English patch.

.dxa, right?

Hey everyone, I found a way to open .dxa files: http://www.mediafire.com/?hkbjrb5rjk2tbou

There is a dxadecode and dxaencode, but if you re-encode the decoded files to a .dxa again, it doesn't work properly but it will work fine if it's in a folder.
For example, say you have IMG.dxa, extract everything from it, stick it in a folder named IMG and move the original IMG.dxa.
Idk if this still applies, but you can try if you want to!

Also, the only thing worth translating in the dat.dxa is the "TitleX.png" files in the img/board directory.
Meaning the messages are probably in the .exe itself.

Good luck~!

Hey Drake, for the record one of the UFO image dump Mediafire links in the OP seems to be dead/deleted.

Ha, I had found the DX Library just a day before you posted (this time). Thank you anyways.

Thank you guy-whose-previous-name-I-can't-remember for pointing out th12.zip being broken.

I also noticed that th13e image rip was mislinked. It's probably been like that since I put it up there, whoooops.

As far as a translation goes, the dialogue is indeed not in the dat files, and a quick try to find a unicode string in the exe yielded no results, but a Shift_JIS check did. I immediately found the shot type descriptions and dialogue, so I assume all the text in the game is stuffed in there. Unfortunately you're going to have to deal with Shift_JIS.

Thanks for the info. Will probably try that.

To think that I played through the game 6 times and transcribed everything by hand... :derp:

Of course, if there were a way to automatically load everything from the wiki and search and replace that'd be perfect...

There are sort of instructions in the readme. If you've followed the instructions and can launch the game with vpatch, then you're already done.
Quote
VsyncPatch


With every newly installed patch, always make a backup copy of your score.dat files in case something weird ever happens.
This is just a general rule. While I don't think this progam has ever caused any data (scores, history, etc) to corrupt or reset,
It's always a good idea to keep a backup in case it does happen by other means.

Modify the [Window] parameters to suit your liking. You can run it windowed, and if so you can control the window width/height
as well as the position it appears on your screen and such. Pretty self-explanatory.

There are patches for some games in both revision 4 and 7. Use the latest revision of the patch for each game.

Leave a copy of vpatch.exe, vpatch.ini and the corresponding dll file in your game folder.
Do not have more than one vpatch_th**.dll file in one folder, or else a conflict might occur and the game won't launch.

Rename each individual exe file to th**.exe, where the stars are the game number, except for EoSD and Uwabami Breakers,
which must be named 東方紅魔郷.exe and alcostg.exe, respectively. Naturally this will be true by default, but if you want
to run the english-patched game then you must rename the executable from th07e to th07, and so on.
EoSD must also be launched using AppLocale or setting your system to a japanese locale.

Start the game by launching vpatch.exe.

Ammy, I personally don't really mind if people double-post in here, even if it's against the rules. It's best if I can see any new comments, and like fondue said, editing your last post doesn't notify me of a reply, which I've had issues with before. Then again, fondue's last reply was "^ This", so that doesn't exactly apply.

Anyway I did all that but little avail. As I said the only thing that works is by changing the FPS. Maybe it doesn't work on windows 7...
Aww please work I want to TAS :< Also it doesn't corrupt my game or anything, unless if I do it wrong of course.

Where exactly is it failing? Which game? What did you do to install it? Yes, it works on Windows 7, as I use it and you can see the OS I'm on.
I figured out how to play midi in games with a different device on Win7 ^^

It has to already be working if you're modifying the game's FPS, so if you can modify the FPS already it will still work if you aren't modifying the FPS. Given default settings, the game window shouldn't have a title bar on top, which is the easiest way to confirm it's working (while windowed, of course). If it isn't working, the game just won't start at all. What is your definition of "doesn't work"?

Sorry, I meant to say that most of the other options don't work. Only FPS works but I will try it all again sometime later...
And when I run UFO windowed with the patch the game crashes.

Not even the window moving/resizing? Well that's just odd.

Emarrel made the retexture patch, not me. Even still though, the answer is no. The retexture pack was made to freshen up the graphics in EoSD to stuff you can see later on in the series; "new" portraits are not that. Besides, there aren't any new portraits of all the characters, unless you want to change the heroines to newer art, and then others to PoFV art or alphes art and leave others alone, creating a horrible mishmash of styles that wouldn't look good in EoSD even by themselves. Or there's fanart, which is the very worst option possible. You can throw in different portraits yourself if you want them lol.

That was harder to do too than expected. I had to convert them twice in order to actually get them, using Hoot's archive of them since they ripped it out somehow. (they're the .M files) Took me a few weeks to figure out how to do that. EP was awesome to fix that one MIDI since I don't know how to do that stuff. :V

And as a note (for those of us with external MIDI devices or interested in them) the SoEW MIDIs were made for the Roland SC-88, while the Windows ones were made for the SC-88Pro, for proper playback. (good thing the 8820 I have can use both modes)

Hello everyone. ^^
I'm having a question about Reply #151, where a downloadlink for Touhouvania sound effects is.
Download works fine and everything, but as soon I try to open the .wav datas which are inside, my Windows Media Player says that it couldnt open the files....
Then I tried to open them with Audacity, and it says that it couldnt open them either, but that I should import them as raw data...
So I did that too, but then after importing them, those were no Touhouvania files but just some weird noises and that... *sigh* so can anyone please tell me whether I must do something special with those .wav files first?..
Because I really need soundeffects from ... uhm... Remi xD, for an own little private project I'm working on ^^. But except on this site, I found nowhere else what I was looking for.
I guess I might find something on japanese sites, but since I can't read or type japanese... :'(

Help will be much appreciated! ^-^
