This article holds info about existing tools to extract or modify the data of the Touhou Project games.

All of the tools are built for Windows only, however some have source code included and therefore it might be possible to get them to work on other platforms.

If your computer has trouble recognizing Japanese words related to Touhou, see the Input Method Dictionary.

For more information on the inner workings of the games, see the Technical Information pages.

thplay - 東方蓄音機 (Touhou Gramophone) (Japanese)

bgmforall - BGM For All Version 1.1 By 野风信子 (Chinese)

FBPLAY - A player that supports a wide range of games including TH06-TH11. Unofficial versions support up to TH13.

Title files [ edit ]

There is a common format for files that store information about BGM names and their positions in thbgm.dat files. The usual naming convention is titles_thXX.txt. Note that older versions of software may not fully support TH13 title files due to the reduced sample rate for spirit world versions in that game.

Here are some sources of these files:

DX8 to DX9 converter Download Purpose Various essential Windows 10 fixes. Touhou 6 EoSD unlimited FPS fix, Touhou 7.5 IaMP crashing fix, and more. Extract files into game directory. Features Enables exclusive fullscreen instead of (borderless) windowed fullscreen on Windows 10. Reduces input delay when used with the Vsync Patches.

Enables compatibility with various screen recording and streaming software (e.g. Open Broadcaster Software).

Enables compatibility with various third-party graphics tools (e.g. MSI Afterburner, SweetFX). Known issues: Touhou 7.5: Character sprites are blurry due to poor sprite filtering. If this is annoying, use AnKor's converter instead. Supports

Vsync Patches Download Purpose Reduces input delay (game responds more quickly when a button is pressed).

For EoSD, please remember to install (and run!) the game in Japanese locale, or the filenames will be gibberish and the patch won't be able to find the main program. Failing that, you can use vpatch_th06_unicode.dll instead of vpatch_th06.dll, and rename the program to 東方紅魔郷.exe.

Fixing the display glitches for PCB cherry values above 1 million and UFO scores above 2 31

An option to select full-screen or windowed mode upon game startup, in older games that did not already have this feature

The ability to resize the game's window to any dimensions and/or remove the title bar in windowed mode
