I don't know what Tasofro did, but even with the fixes the users here posted, it seems my computer has deemed it unrunnable.
Oh well, I regrettably will pass from ULiL even though I want to play so badly. My God, another disadvantage of being poor and the inability to get a better laptop. 
Have you done anything with your Antivirus yet? One of the issue is because of the antivirus.
If possible, show us what error you're having all this time.
Is there anywhere I can get a tutorial as to mechanics? Written, video anything works.
Can anyone translate config menu, please? Thank you 
I'm hoping for some tutorials or whatever soon because I have no idea WTF I'm doing with Mokou. :derp:
If you guys still need it, I found someone who made a guide to the game's systems and mechanics. Credits to the original writer/uploader.
http://pastebin.com/6jdvjhSsThough it was for the web demo version, so I'll add some changes for the full version of ULiL.

[1.] What is this?
Touhou 14.5 Urban Legend in Limbo, abbreviated as ULiL, is the fifth fighting game spinoff in the Touhou series and the sequel to Touhou 13.5 Hopeless Masquerade. It features the original cast of 13.5 along with four (currently known) new characters. It also features redone movement and control, new gameplay mechanics and a community-made soundtrack with help of many popular doujin circles. The game revolves around japanese myths, and each character has attacks and a Last Word (ultra technique) that revolve around a particular myth.
[2.] Settings guide
From the main menu are Story Mode, Vs Com, Vs Player, Vs Network, Practice, Replay, Musicroom, Profile and Config.
Under Profile you will find options to tweak your profile's name, icon and controls. If you like, you can make a custom icon-- simply create a 32x32 bitmap and save it in the game's icon folder, located in the folder where you unzipped the game.
A translation of the profile menu can be found here:
http://i.imgur.com/m3smMIY.jpgUnder Config you'll find various options to the game's sound and display.
A translation can be found here:
http://i.imgur.com/3KpIvua.pngSome additions for the Full game are:
Save Replay - Save all ; Disable ; Ask me everytime
Save Replay (Vs Network) - Save all ; Matches only ; Spectating only ; Disable
Generally you'll want to keep Vsync off. This game, and Hopeless Masquerade, have horribly implemented Vsync that causes the game to chug. If either player has it on during netplay, it will slow the game down for both players.
If you're playing on a low end PC and you find that you can't get decent frames, try changing background quality to low.
[3.] Basic gameplay and Controls
Gameplay in Urban Legend in Limbo is similar in many respects to most conventional fighting games except for movement because of the lack of physical ground. Players attack each other with various abilities that reduce the health of the other player.
When one player's health reaches 0 or the timer runs out, the round will end. When a player's health reaches 0, the other player will receive a round point. In the event of the timer running out, the player with the most remaining health will win. If both players have the same amount of health, the player with the most occult balls will win. If both players have the same amount of health and occult balls, the round will result in a draw.
Matches are decided in a best 2 out of 3 format. The first player to reach two round points wins.
--Game modes--
In Story Mode, the player will move through a series of stages where they fight against an AI controlled opponent for several rounds. The first round will usually play like a normal match, but during the following rounds the AI character will gain access to various special attacks called spellcards and become immune to hitstun. Some stages even have the opponent use it right away and consists of only spellcards. During 2nd and later spellcards, an occult ball or more will sometimes appear either next to the AI opponent or within their attack. If you touch the border around it, you will deal damage to the opponent's super armor (as indicated by the pink bar near the timer), eventually making them dizzy for a few seconds and removing their super armor.
You cannot capture occult balls in Story Mode, and Mystery Spot effects will not occur. You are, however, given a set amount of occult balls at the start of each match. It will increase as you go through each stage, taking your opponent's ball.
Vs Com pits the player against an AI controlled character with a choice of four difficulties: Easy, Normal, Hard and Lunatic. The player chooses his character and spellcard, and the AI's character and spellcard.
Vs Player allows two players to play locally.
Vs Network allows for two players to play over the internet.
--Basic controls--
Character movement will be represented using the button placement found on the numpad of a typical PC keyboard.
7 8 9
4 5 6
1 2 3
6 denotes the forward button and 4 denotes the backward button. Standing still, or not pressing any direction at all, is represented by the 5 button. These directions reverse when standing on the right side of the screen, but to avoid confusion we will always assume you are on the left side of the screen. 8 represents up and 2 represents down.
The numbers 7, 9, 1 and 3 denote diagonal directions and can be performed by pressing two directional buttons together. For example, pressing 8 and 6 together will result in 9.
Aside from directions, ULiL has four buttons used for attacks and one button used for movement. All controls can be re-bound in the profile menu, and keyboard and gamepad controls may be bound indepedently.
A (default key Z) - Pressing this button executes a melee attack. Standing still while pressing it will cause a different attack depending on your distance from your opponent. Point blank attacks standing still are referred to as 5a while distant attacks are referred to as f5a. f5a tends to have a larger hitbox.
When standing next to the enemy player and hitting 5a repeatedly you will execute a short combo. The first two hits are light melee attacks. The third is a nondirectional heavy melee attack. The fourth hit is a directional heavy melee attack and holding a direction when it is executed will change it accordingly. The fifth hit is another directional melee attack and, again, will change when holding a direction. They're some of your skill attacks, and in case of Byakuren and Koishi, need no setup beforehand.
You can also perform a single heavy melee attack by pressing a direction (2/6/8) as you press A. These attacks mostly have different properties compared to the ones in the previous combo. 4a will force you to use 5a even if you're not close to the opponent. Depending on your position, some of these attacks may change, so take note.
B (default key X) - This button is used for danmaku. Reimu's needles, Marisa's stars, Kasen's hadoukens for example. Holding this button down briefly and releasing it will perform another attack. Holding it down longer will create a more powerful version of the charged B attack. This is denoted by the glowing blue aura behind your character while charging, and the second 'stage' of charge is denoted by a more intense aura. The only way to cancel out of a charged ability is to backdash with 44 or fire the projectile.
C (default key C) - This button is used for special attacks, and has various effects. For Reimu, pressing it while standing still will cause her to dash around the screen. Kasen uses to command her animals, etc. Some special attacks may require you to mash the button(Ichirin's and Nitori's 5c), can be charged (Byakuren's 6c, Sumireko's 5c), and can also change depending on your position. Test them out to see the different properties.
Using B or C moves (otherwise known as spirit attacks) requires Spirit, denoted by the flames at the bottom of the screen. You have six spirit flames by default, and they are consumed when a spirit attack is executed and recharge when not using them for a few seconds. When you run out, you must wait for at least one spirit flame to recharge to use another spirit attack.
D (default key A) - This button activates spellcards, which can be used when your special meter is charged at least to the initial threshold. You can charge it by firing danmaku and hitting with attacks and how much charge you have is indicated at the bottom of the screen next to your chosen spellcard. To use a spellcard, you need to first declare it by hitting the button once, and then activate it by pressing it again. The spellcard does more damage the more charge you have, and can be charged far beyond the initial use requirement. When you declare a spellcard, you stop accruing spellpower until you use the spellcard. Also, pre-declared spellcards will deal more damage than spellcards that are declared and used instantly.
Each character has 3 different spellcards, and you can only use one at a time. You choose your spellcard on the character select screen, after choosing your character.
In story mode, dying while not using the spellcard after declaring will deplete your meters, so pay attention.
Dash (default key S) - Pressing this key while holding a direction will cause your character to move forward quickly, and fly while jumping. On 'ground,' pressing 66 will result in the same effect, but while jumping, the dash button will cause you to continually fly while 66 or 44 will perform a short dash in the air and then you will fall back to the center. You can dash twice in mid air before you are forced to fall. Pressing dash and 8 together in the air will cause a double jump. Pressing A or B while dashing will cause a dash attack.
You can also now see the list of special attacks that your character has on the pause menu during fights. It usually gives you info on additional things it can do if it has it.
--Directional attacks--
Holding a direction while pressing A, B or C will cause different attacks and generally are used for attacking up or down.
Pressing A while pressing up, down, or forward will execute a melee attack in that direction.
Pressing B while holding up (otherwise referred to as 8b) will usually cause you to shoot your danmaku up, for example.
However, pressing a direction while pressing C will usually result in a different special attack, for example Kasen's 8c commands her eagle.
--Jumping--
In Urban Legend in Limbo, there is no physical ground and both characters are constantly in flight. Dissimilar to the previous game, Hopeless Masquerade, the center of the screen acts as the default plane characters fight on and is referred to as the 'ground.' Pressing 8 will cause your character to fly upward and then fall back down. Pressing 2 will cause your character to fly downward and then rise back to the center. This is referred to as 'jumping' and attacks performed while jumping will be referred to with a j in front of them, for example j5a. The A button performs different attacks while jumping, but B and C act as normal.
--Blocking--
Holding the opposite direction when being attacked will cause your character to block. When you block an attack, a blue hexagon shield will appear to protect you. As you get hit, the shield will gradually turn red. If all the hexagons turn red, the shield will break and you will be momentarily stunned.
When blocking melee attacks, you take no damage, but when blocking spirit attacks and spellcards you take a small amount of chip damage.
You can also push back your opponent by pressing C while blocking, but the amount of time you remain blocking before you can act again (aka blockstun) is increased compared to blocking normally.
[4.] The Occult Ball, Occult attacks, Mystery Spot
Periodically during play, a countdown will appear in the middle of the screen. When it reaches 0, an occult ball will spawn and a mystery spot will trigger.
Touching the occult ball will mark it with a color. Player 1 marks the ball with red, player 2 with blue. At the end of the mystery spot, whoever has the most marks on the ball will receive it and it will be added to the occult ball meter next to the timer as either red or blue. Occult balls are used to activate occult attacks and Weird Last Words.
To activate an occult attack, gather at least one occult ball and press A and B together. Some characters have only one attack, while others cycle through different variations of their occult attack. After using an occult attack, you will glow with a purple aura briefly. If you are attacked during this time, there is a chance your occult ball will be stolen by the other player.
To activate a Weird Last Word, gather at least four occult balls and press C and Spellcard together. Generally you need to be point blank to hit with it, and it can be blocked. If it hits, a special animation will play and significant damage will be dealt, at least 4k and all the way up to 8k if you can manage to gather 7 occult balls. Hit or miss, all of your occult balls will be consumed.
There are seven different mystery spot effects that trigger when an occult ball spawns.
Pyramids: Both players' Occult Attacks are at max power.
Stonehenge: The stage's left/right walls narrow.
Tower of Babel: Touching the Occult Ball's capture field briefly turns it into a projectile that can hit the opponent.
Yomotsu Hirasaka: Steadily turns both players' life bars white faster the closer they are to the center of the stage. White life counts as damage, and damaging your opponent with attacks will also add to the white life, but when the Mystery Spot ends it turns back into normal health. Meaning that your attacks won't count unless you finish the opponent. Large Occult Ball capture field.
Nazca Lines: Touching the Occult Ball's capture field restores a small amount of life and 100 spell power.
Hell Valley: Fogs the bottom of the screen and slowly damages players in that area.
Lunar Capital: Slows down most projectile attacks.

[6.] Network play
Under Vs Network you will find options to host and join network games. A full translation of this will be available later.
The top option will host a game, second option manually input the IP and port numbers of the host you want to join, third option lets you select among the host that you've joined before, and the fourth option connects to a game from the copied IP&Port from the clipboard. If you receive a message with no options when you attempt to connect, the connection has failed. If you receive a message with an option when you attempt to connect, you are given the option to close the connection or spectate, spectate being the second option.
If you wish to leave a game after joining, you need to hold B for a few seconds on the character select screen.
To host this game you need an open port, default port 10800. Since everyone uses a different router, specific instructions on how to port forward are not particularly helpful. Use
http://portforward.com and look up your individual device, and then how to port forward a simple game like Half-Life, but port forward the port 10800 instead of whatever numbers they give you.
This game does not have a rollcaster. As such, we are at the mercy of japanese network programming. However, so long as you play with someone in your general part of the world, you should have a playable game. Even someone a few hundred miles away from you could feasibly work so long as you both have a good connection.
Another tip is, especially when hosting, to play with an ethernet connection. Playing on wireless is prone to be a bit laggier than a direct ethernet connection.
Unfortunately, playing outside your country (or even with someone who's just on the other side of your country) will usually result in a game of turn based ULiL.
[7.] FAQ and troubleshooting
Q. Isn't this just HM2? I thought that game sucked and that's why no one plays it.
A. No. It runs on the same engine as HM and uses many of the same assets. However, it is a completely redesigned game from controls to gameplay to systems. Gone is the floaty flight that HM had, along with popularity and the strict timer. If you hated HM, give this a try. While a rollcaster will still be necessary for international and long distance play, the netplay is also slightly better implemented here and there's a bit more leeway in how far away you can be from someone and still have a playable game.
That's the system basics I guess. If you meant for general fighting tips, then maybe someone else more capable can explain it.
Still feel that the roster is a wasted potential. Number wouldn't have been an issue if they used more new characters who are more associated with urban legends (Aya, Hatate, Sanae, Kogasa, etc.) instead of bringing back characters who don't look like they fit the theme of the game...
Here's hoping for a 12.3-style update!
At this point, you sound like you just don't want to see the cast of HM returning in this game, even if you said otherwise.
What would be a waste, is if they didn't make use of the existing assets. And even then, they made drastic changes to how they all play, so in my opinion HM won't be obsolete. Right now, there are some that have a hard time keeping up with the others, but they still have the potential.
More character is always welcome, but I'd rather have a decent balanced game.
Anyway, regarding translations, where should we start?
Marisa's story is already translated, but not the rest. I'd like to know how they got the Japanese script though. Was it manually typed or extracted from the game? Because that'll make things easier.
