Following the PND website, Touhou WRs set in Touhou 17 to 20 are now shown uncapped! That is, with the counterstop removed, revealing the "true" score value.
This used to be shown only on mouse hover, but it will now be shown by default.
For Touhou 20, the PIV bug is assumed to be fixed (thprac).

My website now supports Touhou 20!
It's featured on the WR/LNN pages, the survival table and the scoring page. And of course, the Tier List Creator!
Speaking of which, the Tier List Creator now has tabs, to make it much more obvious that you can also sort the works, shottypes and cards! (1/2)

I did a (segmented) TD Lunatic No Miss clear with Marisa.. that trances every single lifepiece in the game! This run is a proof of concept to show that this is possible.
A legitimate full game run of this would be insane.
See my video for how it would be done!

I made a massive performance improvement to my website!
The WR and LNN pages open considerably faster. 🎉
You can also actually see them loading, so that you know that they will load eventually, instead of seeing absolutely nothing until it's fully done. Much better!

Sorry if my site has been a bit less stable recently. I'm trying to solve a memory leak that I recently discovered. This has existed for a long time, but I recently isolated the problem to my site, meaning that it can't be anything else. It should be over soon!

Yesterday I also fixed two bugs on the Survival table page.
maribelhearn.com/survival
A fairly obscure one that would lead to duplicate data in your export, as well as one that that made it impossible to import a text file with "Not cleared" categories in it.
Page should operate smoothly now.

It has downloads to all four emulators, pre-configured for Touhou, as well as explanations on how to use them, setup guides, autofire, and font files.

I added the characters from the Touhou 20 demo to the Tier List Creator and the Slot Machine.
Also, I realised that it has been impossible to roll Mizuchi on the slot machine this entire time lmao. Now you can! As well as the FW characters.

We kick off Touhou World Cup 2025 with a bang - LoLK Lunatic Survival!
Last year, GB performed an unimaginable feat and claimed the first LNN of this category with the worst shottype, Marisa! Will our players this year rise to the challenge?

On the Gensokyo Replay Archive, I've now added the comment field to the results table.
Don't worry, it's stripped off HTML. No shenanigans like the old site.
I did this mostly because gensokyo did not support scenes, so people usually wrote in the comment field which StB or DS scene they played.

I took notice of the fact that some people were interpreting the "Player Ranking" sections on my site as a competition. This has never been the intent.
Therefore, I've decided to rename these sections to "Player Statistics", which clearly communicates the intent. It's just for some cool numbers :)

For a considerable while, my website's tables with dates in them would mistakenly attempt to convert these dates to your timezone. This happened for both WRs and LNNs.
This meant that for everyone in the Western Hemisphere, every run's date was 1 day off.
This has now been fixed!

PSA to all speedrunners - PLEASE download and upload all highlights to YouTube. Huge amounts of speedrunning history will be lost if we don't take action.
Even if you're under 100 hours, play it safe and download. It's 100 hours for now, but who knows in the future.

In Touhou 14 and 15, if you are using vpatch, having your input latency set to anything but "Fast" will make the game unable to save your options. For example, changing the volume is not remembered after closing the game.
To fix this, use "Fast", or redownload vpatch off maribelhearn.com/tools.
