Or you could just get ftp://touhou-online.net/Jeux/Touhou%20PC-98.zip and have a perfectly configured, English-patched Touhou PC-98 package without doing anything. :)

that, and in my experience, the english patches for the PC-98 don't work properly, or come out with janky font

considering i've ran like, at least 2 dozen tests (sets of 10 startups per file), and the file was the only one that failed the test when double checked and all

Here's a new build with the latest libpng, but if that doesn't fix anything, I really have no idea. http://nmlgc.net/thcrap-Onyx_Arrow.zip

No, that's not necessary. Simply overwrite all thcrap files as before and use the existing shortcuts.

Nazeo, we've long found out that it crashes when thcrap is processing lang_en/th14/title/player_02.png, and it's probably not libpng's fault either. (It was once.)

Onyx_Arrow
it's not like the game is too demanding, especially since it's followups work fine
22:10:29
Nazeo
I feel SOMETHING on your system is interfering. I want to isolate what that something could be.
22:13:00
Onyx_Arrow
i honestly doubt it's a system based bug, since if it's a system thing, then it should affect all 3 games, but it only affects the one
22:14:20
Onyx_Arrow
the english has a slim chance of working for 14, though it crashes at the startup of the game more times than not
22:15:18
Onyx_Arrow
i'm assuming that a safemode boot is going to reboot my computer, and i'd really rather not reboot it
22:23:40
Onyx_Arrow
i want to upgrade, since i want to play games, and so i can do some art without constant tablet driver crashing, and so i can get back into coding
22:25:19
Onyx_Arrow
i learned some really, REALLY early java in highschool, but that was years ago, and i've forgotten a lot of it
22:26:02
Onyx_Arrow
i know a small amount of python, though only enough to make chat bots on a basic level
22:36:04
Nazeo
Ah... that would involve many languages. Whelp, python is a pretty good place to start.
22:45:35
nurupo
you'd likely need to learn c or c++ for game development, which are a lot unsafer languages than python or java
22:47:07
nurupo
the last ones are libraries. sdl is generic miltimedia library, allegro is game dev library
22:57:03
Onyx_Arrow
i really only want to make 2D games anyway, since 3D games by one's self is similar to development hell/personal suicide

If you trust your compiler and use a modern version of the language, you will have a whole lot of issues just not happening, simply due to the static typing.
23:14:24

And that’s why I wouldn’t start a new software in either, Haskell or Rust are a lot more safe than all of the languages you cited, which means if a program compiles you can be sure it won’t crash.
23:18:45
Onyx_Arrow
i'd rather learn what i can about any languages i can just so i can work around issues as they come up
