Wait, how different is this from v0.06?ZUN has a changelog of it here: http://www16.big.or.jp/~zun/html/th07_update.html
Out of curiosity, why are you asking about that particular version? The earliest I found besides this one is 0.07 and 0.08e.It's the version Arcorann linked a while ago, which was used for atypical challenge #17.
It's the version Arcorann linked a while ago, which was used for atypical challenge #17.Ah, I see. I wonder where they found it, I wasn't successful in finding that version, though then again, I didn't put in much effort there since my focus was finding 0.01. I guess the differences between the two are probably minor ones, though I think I saw in the changelog (based on terrible google translate) that the power on some of the shot types were tweaked, and IMO, MarisaA unfocused is really strong, possibly more so than focused. (I haven't really tested that so don't take my word for it)
Ah, so this is the one with..."Freeze Actress", was it? Sounds pretty neat, so thanks for the work in finding this! It's really been that hard to find this one, has it? Go figure. Looking forward to dying to stuff because I haven't touched the shmup Touhous in forever, but this is something I at least ought to play a little of for the sake of saying I did.
I can't run the demo versions of PCB, how come? :(Are you getting any particular error messages?
Yes, the error window has DirectInput and other japanese characters in it.Run custom.exe and check the box next to the option with DirectInput in the name (I believe it translates to "No DirectInput joypad" or the like), then click the rightmost button in the bottom right corner to save the changes. Might work.
How would you feel about uploading all those old Touhou demos and trials to archive.org? I think it's the perfect place for this kind of obscure, hard to find stuff. Jason Scott would be proud of you.I didn't know you could actually do that. Maybe I will, I just have no idea how to go about something like that.
Man, the game FPS is always at 30! <_> (any suggestions on how to fix this?)The first option in custom.exe might help, the one with the 60 in it. Also make sure your refresh rate isn't checked at 1/2 in there too. If only vsync could work...
Looks awesome! Lol I hope it actually works in Wine.I haven't had a chance to test that yet, actually, because Wine on my Mac is being really dumb, where one dependency is not compiling for some reason. I'm still working on it. But I wouldn't see why it wouldn't work, the game is very similar to EoSD at this stage, given the many similarities and the format of the files in its directory.

It also has a midboss card for Alice on easy/normal that does not exist in any future version (later demos had a unique midboss card, but it was different from the one in this version). And a lot of spell cards and attacks are pretty different.
What I'm wondering now, is if there are hidden secrets in the demo's code that could be found through hacking. I have no knowledge in that kind of thing, but it'd be neat if we discovered something Rin Satsuki-esque.

Might work.Still not working, it gives me a somewhat(?) different error instead.

What OS are you running? If it's a recent version of Windows, have you tried using Compatibility Mode to play it? (Right-click the .exe, look for something like "Troubleshoot Compatibility", and follow the prompts.)Oh nvm it's working now. I just need to extract the file >_<
Not SURE if that'd help, but I figured it's at least a start.
