Title: New Windows 10 DX8 to DX9 converter, needs testing. Fixes IaMP blurry sprites.
Post by: shockdude on March 11, 2017, 10:18:12 PM

Edit: I added the new DX8 to DX9 converter to TouhouWiki (https://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Game_Tools_and_Modifications#DX8_to_DX9_converter). Let me know if there are any issues.

A known issue with the DX8 to DX9 converter currently on TouhouWiki is that the sprites in Touhou 7.5 are blurry and awful.
I did some browsing around and found an alternate DX8 to DX9 converter by AnKor, which fixes the sprites in 7.5.

Previous converter:

AnKor's converter:

Before I put this alternative converter on TouhouWiki, I'd like to make sure it doesn't break anything. I briefly tested Touhou 6 and Touhou 7.5; can others help me test AnKor's converter and make sure nothing is broken compared to the other converter?

Welp, the original download link disappeared.
Attaching AnKor's converter here temporarily. Will consider how to upload it properly down the road.

Hosting Time: Unlimited (unless file is not downloaded for 100 days)

That's a problem. MEGA is a better option.

MEGA and Mediafire are more reliable, sure, but I didn't want to make a file hosting account for a <1MB file. Also,

it'll probably be fine imo.

so I noticed that AnKor's converter sometimes causes the main menu background to not load and be totally black. Welp.
Reverted to ENBDev's converter. AnKor's converter is still available for IaMP.
