Portable Fairy Wars

Like Double Spoiler, Fairy Wars stores userdata in the current user's Application Data folder. This can cause problems when a user wants to run the same state from multiple logins, or multiple computers. To keep things in the Fairy Wars directory, there is a simple fix: Create a notepad file, rename it to a .bat extension, (let's call it touhou128.bat) and put the following:

@echo off
md "%CD%\user"
set "APPDATA=%CD%\user"
start th128

Similarly, create one for custom.exe by making a custom.bat and putting

@echo off
md "%CD%\user"
set "APPDATA=%CD%\user"
start custom

There! Now, whenever you start Fairy Wars, the profile data that would be placed in your Application Data folder is instead placed in your Fairy Wars directory.

Difficulty Level Names

Like most of the other Windows games, each of the difficulty levels have a short summary.

  • Easy - Super easy. Don't make fun of me!
  • Normal - Normal. This'll be easy!
  • Hard - It's hard, but no problem!
  • Lunatic - Ultra hard! I'll turn 'em all into pure ice!

Spellcard Medals

This game has a medal system for spellcards.

  • Bronze - Card beaten, but you died, used a bomb, or ran out of time.
  • Silver - Card beaten without dying or bombing.
  • Gold - Card beaten without dying, bombing, or freezing any bullets.

Unlockables

To unlock extra, you must reach all 6 endings, without continue, using any difficulty mode.

Bugs

  • When performing a deathbomb, the bomb counter on the bottom left of the screen isn't affected, thus displaying an incorrect number of bomb.
  • When started on an average North American locale computer, the dialogue boxes will usually be shown as empty. To make the dialogue display, use Microsoft AppLocale, or SBApplocale.
  • custom.exe has a tendency to refuse to start. If you experience this issue, try setting compatibility mode to Windows 2000.
  • Sometimes when defeating an enemy (be it a boss or just a normal fairy) in the middle of their attack, the attack will continue "until it's finished". Dialog does not stop this, so you might have to dodge danmaku while reading!

Replay Issues

  • When selecting a replay to view and selecting a replay of stage C2-X, it will incorrectly display as C1-X in the stage selection.
  • On the pause menu of a replay, the third option of "Replay Again" opens the in-game manual, while selecting the hidden option one step lower will replay the replay.
  • There is an issue with the Replay menu where it crashes when you have a misnamed replay (for example, you saved a replay for Route A1 and the replay registered as B1). To fix this, save another replay.

Fun Facts

  • This game is the game with the largest number of spell cards—250 in total. This title was previously held by Imperishable Night, with 222 spell cards in total.
    • However, since some spell cards were re-used across each route (Ice Dissolver, Fairy Overdrive, and Three Fairies in particular), it only has 214 unique spell cards.
  • Most of the Spell Cards' names are written in Katakana. Only one doesn't have any in its name.
  • In the music room and stage music name display, 妖精大戦争 ~ Fairy Wars is misspelled as 妖精大戦争 ~ Faily Wars.
