As I mentioned in the last post, thanks to the guide from Bob64 I was able to get my Netbook up and running with my XP Pro.
So what I have been doing now is installing some of the programs I need, copying a lot of files and solving some unexpected problems.
Namely the issue with TH06-09.5 running in 20-30 fps or just simply crashing/glitching when executed. I managed to figure out the issue behind this, which was that I have RocketDock installed.
If you don’t know what RocketDock is, it’s a program which enables you to use a nifty little dock like the one seen in Mac OS. So the workaround for this problem turned out to be to turn off the RocketDock before running TH06-09.5.
This solved any issues with low framerates and glitches, and the games are now running smoothly like they were before. The Touhou games released after TH09.5 doesn’t seem to have this issue however.
It seems to be a colliding problem with the transparacy used by the RocketDock and the coding in the old games, perhaps by the old dx library used for them.
Anyways, now when I’ve almost got all things together on the Netbook I will soon be able to post the pictures of it like I wanted. I just wanted to make sure to prioritize fixing the computer before playing games and tending to the image uploads.
To make up for it, I’ll make a bigger update to the photo gallery with a bunch of new photos that I haven’t had time to upload.
