Forums: Index > Touhou Games > I have a problem playing every touhou game.


Hi its the first time I post something here so tell me if I'm doing something wrong.

I use a Mac OS X.6 and want to play touhou. So i installed Windows XP SP3 with Bootcamp and with Virtual Box. I then downloaded a pack of touhou games 6-13 from the pirate bay.

However whenever i launch one of the games, the following happens:i get the title screen picture without the menu options, i can hear the bgm and the sound effects when i use the arrow keys, but i have to navigate blindly through the menus. When i somehow manage to launch the first level, i hear the music, can use bombs, can hear the enemy shooting, can hear myself dying... But I cant see anything because the game is still showing me the title screen picture. I haven't tried this on every game yet, but it does so on EoSD, PCB and IN so far.

I doubt my computer is too weak to handle touhou graphics since it can handle Starcraft 2's (despite them being set on low). The problem occurs on both bootcamp and virtual box. I've tried downloading the game from two different sources now and i still get the same problem. Has anyone experienced the same problem as me or has a solution? If no one has I can still become the worlds first Touhou blindfolded player. :)

I'm not to sure because I use Windows, my friend however used to have the same problem. He says that he uses Wine. TskikageZainin 7:07 AM, March 04, 2012 (UTC)

Well problem solved now I got crossover games which allows me to open executable games on mac.

General Solution 1: I know that there is already an answer, but this is what I recommend. 1) Download Wine. Set it up. 2) Open the .exe file. It should ask if you want to run or package. Run, don't package. Otherwise you'll be doomed and have to redownload. When you've run it, it should play. If the screen is white, just restart. Glitches: EoSD music is warped. EoSD text is messed up. PoFV sometimes does't let you save replays when you 1cc. SWR and UNL don't load. MOF-UFO don't have good text. GFW has the missing text glitch, like usual.

This might work. I play PCB, IN, MOF, SA, StB, and UFO without problems, for the most part. ----Sparen (talk) 02:35, March 8, 2012 (UTC)

Note: Ten Desires is incompatible with Wine Version 1.2.3 ----Sparen (talk) 04:21, April 22, 2012 (UTC)


Devilscry613: I had the same problems. I tried updating/reinstalling directx, re-downloading, and changing the local and compatibilities. Nothing worked. I then figured I should try to update my video card driver. I don't know how to do this on a mac, but as soon as I updated the driver and restarted my computer, all the games worked perfectly!
