I don't remember who the hell was asking for this(we saw it in a nicovideo) but I just found it. Was it Slowpoke? Don't remember.

First download there. See what you can do with it, it's great.

umm what is this?

Basically, it's a program that you link to your Touhou game folders - when you launch it, it'll give you a menu of all the Windows Touhou games. You just have to select one to start that game up.
When you launch it for the first time, the .ini file will pop up - change the directories near the top to the directories of your games, and you should be good to go.
You can even change the graphics if you want.

wow this is hella usefull
all it needs it fanmadegames and music lol
-
you mean a folder filled with program shortcuts and playlists

It'd essentially boil down to the same function but I'd imagine it's a much fancier interface. It would probably bloat down the process of opening up the games themselves but it'd be a nice piece of eye candy, if you were on a major Touhou kick and continuously swapping through a whole bunch. I just have a couple questions:
1. Does it work with demos? I don't have the full version games yet.
2. Is it possible to set it up so that when you quit out of a Touhou game, to go directly back into the launching program, so you can try another? It'd probably be too much of a hassle to bother opening it up every time if not. Sounds like a cool concept though.

It sounds like it'd be more useful if it were a desktop buddy that doesn't use much CPU to run.

I have this. It's called Steam.

Yeah, it was Slowpoke (and me) that wanted it. I just want it for the novelty factor after watching the Touhou Busters video. =3
Also, thanks for the link. Works pretty well actually.

I have this. It's called Steam. It sucks, and was forced onto me, so I don't use it.

What's your username then? I don't think I've added you.

It's fun and all, but I'd rather it stayed up so that I can go between games without loading it again.

well i have link to the touhou games up on my desktop. (litterly... the first row on my Desktop are only Touhou Games, The folder where i keep the Games... and the trash bin)

A front end app like this could be useful but it lacks quite few things. When you quit a game the front end should comeback, the text should be customizable and it should be possible to add unofficial games. I tried adding a th13 field in the .ini but it didn't work(not that I expected it to) so the author will need to update it whenever new game comes out.
If you are interested in a front end like that you should check out some arcade front end, they are often completely customizable and work with any exe. Example: http://malafe.net/index.php (http://malafe.net/index.php)

This way is better for me, though, since I use a dock and I only want one Touhou shortcut in it.

I've added launchers for all my Touhou games to my desktop dock. Otherwise this would be useful.
