Portable Double Spoiler[]
Starting with Double Spoiler, data (such as config, scores, and replays) are stored in the user's profile directory. Some people might not want this, and instead want to keep things in the DS directory to keep things portable. Here's a fix: Make a batch file (let's say th125p.bat) in the same directory as th125.exe, with the following contents:
@echo off md "%CD%\user" set "APPDATA=%CD%\user" start th125
Then run th125p.bat, and everything will be stored under a user directory under where th125.exe is, rather than the usual Application Data directory. If you want to keep your progress, then copy/move your Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\ShanghaiAlice (for Vista and 7) or Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\ShanghaiAlice (for XP) directory to <DS directory>\user\ShanghaiAlice.
If you use the above method, you should also create one for custom.exe, let's call it customp.bat
@echo off md "%CD%\user" set "APPDATA=%CD%\user" start custom
Of course, you can change "user" to anything. If you need multiple profiles (for example, if more than one person uses the computer to play the game), you can make .bat files for each of them by changing both occurrences of "user" in each to, say, the person's name.

Bugs[]
- After completing the last scene of a level, if you select Save Replay, the game allows you to select Next Scene, which is normally not possible. If you do so, you proceed to the first scene of the next level, but it still thinks you are on the previous level and doesn't give you credit for that scene if you complete it. For example, if after scene 2-6 you select Next Scene, you proceed to 3-1; but it counts it as 2-7, saving a replay will show 2-7, and you don't get credit for 3-1. If you do this on SP-9, or on EX-9 with Hatate, the game will crash.
- If you select Next Scene on SP-4, the game will proceed to the rest of the level with Aya as the playable character.
- When saving a replay you can choose from 25 replay slots, but in the replay viewer you can only see the first 20.
- When viewing a replay and holding Ctrl to speed it up, the photos often look much lighter than they should and/or are missing a border.
- On stage 12-6, it is possible to simply randomly die without being hit. If this continually occurs on retry attempts, return to the scene selection menu and select it again. Replays of this stage also desynchronize: it might end up with your character dying due to a glitch, even if you originally captured the scene.
- If you watch a replay of Hatate, then one of Aya, the character shown will be Hatate. The opposite happens if you watch one of Aya first. Watching a replay of the same character twice in a row will show the correct one.
- custom.exe has a tendency to refuse to start. If you experience this issue, try setting compatibility mode to Windows 2000.
Fun Facts[]

- The word "Spoiler" is misspelled as "Spoier" on the jewel case cover.
- Double Spoiler is the first non-fighter Touhou for Windows which does not feature Marisa in the program icon.
