because everyone needs to try it at least once.So, here, hopefully we'll have a guide that tells you everything you need to know about making Touhou run at higher speeds.
Currently, I've made the following games run successfully at 90FPS (YouTube links for video evidence when available)
Embodiment of Scarlet DevilPerfect Cherry BlossomImperishable NightMountain of FaithSubterranean Animism
Undefined Fantastic Object
Although I haven't quite tried it yet for StB, DS, PoFV, or GFW, I'm pretty sure that you could get them to run faster if you use their appropriate vsync patches; the only ones which I'm not sure have vsyncs yet are GFW and DS.
But why would I want to play faster than normal? It's already hard enough as is!Because playing at 90FPS is fun and masochistic, but aside from that it makes for a good challenge and it's a great way to improve your skills. I beat EoSD Extra at 90FPS and then ran through a normal run. I ended up with a 2D1B run, much better than I have ever done.
Now, firstly, get yourself the vsync patches
here courtesy of Drake. Drag them into their respective game folders, etc, etc. Just follow the directions in the readme for more information.
So, you've placed the vsyncs in their respective folders, you've renamed the version of the game you want directly to "thXX" or "東方紅魔郷" for EoSD. Now what?
Open up the vpatch configuration settings and adjust everything so they look like this:
[attach=1 width=150]
(Or at least, those are my Imperishable Night settings. It should work the same for EoSD and PCB)
Now open up your config for the various games. In order of 6-12, take a look at the following thumbnails (click a few times to expand).
[attach=9 width=50]
Embodiment of Scarlet Devil[attach=3 width=50]
Perfect Cherry Blossom[attach=2 width=50]
Imperishable Night[attach=4 width=50]
Mountain of Faith[attach=6 width=50]
Subterranean Animism[attach=7 width=50]
Undefined Fantastic ObjectOr, that's how they work for me. Generally, I haven't had any issues with playing them at these settings; you don't need to use Cheat Engine to run SA or UFO properly.
FINAL NOTE: They do not work in windowed mode. You MUST play them at full screen or else it'll just run at 60FPS, which sometimes leads to problems in recording them (for me, I can only record them windowed). You can get around this for 6-8 by setting the ReplaySkipFPS to 90 and holding control while recording, but there's always a problem of legitimacy especially in EoSD where there isn't even an FPS tracker. You can't really have much of a legitimacy issue in UFO or SA, though. The spellcard timers still keep track in real time; for example:
[attach=5 width=50]
[attach=8 width=50]
