Shot button lock in SA.

[Critz]

Does someone know a way to fix a bug in SA that causes Reimu/Marisa to shoot constantly without holding the Z button? It happens to me from time to time and I wouldn`t care in any other game, but in SA I can`t use teleport, autocollect, tengu dash and change element when it occurs. It happens rarely if I do not press any buttons except Ctrl just before, during and just after dialogues, but still happens. It doesn`t even react in menu and I have to confirm choices with Enter. I`m playing on Windows XP.

Also, is there any way to watch Stage 4 replay in MoF and Stage 6 replay in SA that are not practice runs? Even if I load from the previous stage, replays still desynchronize and player character dies hitting the bullets he actually didn`t...

Are you using a laptop to play it, because some laptops have issues with buttons and touhou. (like some can only take 2 or 3 at a time, which makes bombing very difficult)
Also, you do have version 1.00a for SA correct?

No, there is no way to fix this, as ZUN hasn't made any patches for that.

I do have 1.00a version and I`m using a desktop.

Are you sure that it isn't your keyboard? Maybe that key is getting. You can experiment and change the key layout and have Z be a different key, like A.

Played around with pad config and the bug still appears. Is there a keyboard config for this game? I tried turning "use directinput..." option in custom.exe, and still the bug just happened again...

There is a menu to change the keyboard buttons on SA's option menu, for key config. I tried messing around with it just now but I can't get it to do anything. Unless you can get it to work.

Also, did you try messing around with the input latency on the config.exe? Try some of the other ones and see what happens (but keep an eye on the fps) Also be warned of SA freezing up, you'll need the task manager to close it if it does.

One other note: you DO have the d3dx9_37.dll file installed in your windows folder directory right? Without it, the game will do weird things, or so I've heard. (correct me if I'm wrong)
