English Patch – Steam Solo

Overview

This guide will help you patch Touhou Tenkuushou – Hidden Star in Four Seasons to English.

Introduction

Touhou is finally on Steam. However, since we didn’t get an official translation, we’ll have to patch the game like usually. We will be using THCRAP (yes) for this.

Downloading THCRAP

Note: I tried using the standalone patch, but it doesn’t seem to work on the full Steam version.

Touhou Community Reliant Automatic Patcher (THCRAP) can be downloaded here.[www.thpatch.net]
Either one works.
The site has instructions on how to actually use the patcher, but since we just want to patch the Steam version of TH16, and for this guide’s sake, we’ll be using my way.

Extract the contents to where you like. The directory doesn’t matter.

Begone, Moon Runes!

Right, let’s get into it.
Below is a list of all the things you need to do to have your game running in English (or why not your native language).

Run thcrap_configure.exe.
If you want something else than English you should choose it now. Scroll up a bit to see all the available language packs.
After choosing the language you want and pressing ENTER, you can now choose a secondary language. If you previously chose something else than English, now is a good time to choose it.
You will now be asked for a custom name for the configuration. I always leave it blank for default.
In the browsing dialog, select the path where your Steam version of Hidden Star in Four Seasons is installed. For example, “C:Program Files (x86)Steamsteamappscommonth16”.
The game is now being patched, please wait warmly.
You should now have some shortcuts in your THCRAP folder. You can run these from wherever you want. I personally put them into the Steam directory because why not.
