Thread 49506421

Feel like its been a while.
Discuss and post all things PC-98!

Thighs.

I draw

Also this.

>>49506635
ha

why ZUN? why won't you bring her back?

A while ago an artist dropped a dozen Genge emotes. Got them into gifs, use them as you wish! Sorry for the lack of transparency, but white on white in a gif is not my specialty. If someone else is up for the task, i'll happily take it.
Dumpin time.

They could make for good reaction images.

And that's all i've got!
Sorry for the dump once again, I do hope you find a use for at least one of them
Back to our regular schedule!

>>49506733
No, Genge, I will not use a condom!

This has the been the biggest dump of Gengetsu since that one guy linked a catbox folder full of them or something.

>>49507224
must have been Exfodes

>>49506693
I know it's a meme and all, but why do people want her back? Touhou isn't the same now. It wouldn't be the same Mima. Don't you enjoy the old works as they are? Why would you want to assimilate into Windows? Where's your dignity?

>>49506742
Gengetsu can I have mating press intercourse with you raw and cum inside

>>49507224
>linked a catbox folder full of them
Link?

>>49506693
I'd rather Mima stay in Makai where she is their new god than return to modern Touhou.

>>49508194
A god? That's way too grandiose for her. Isn't she just your regular nuisance of a vengeful spirit?

>>49508255
>>49508194
No god, but a ghost!

>>49508255
>>49508540
Yeah it seems like i misremembered her ending in MS. She gets bored of Makai and leaves to bother Reimu again.

I love my wonderful Makai princess Louise!

>>49512253
Since MS is one big SMT2 homage, i always wondered if Louise was meant to be Shinki in disguise at some point during development.

Finally managed to get a 1CC of PoDD not that long ago.

>>49512992
>Kana
Impressive. Now do it again on Lunatic.

>>49513009
Perhaps someday I'll have that level of skill. Kana's probably pretty bad objectively, but I'd rather take her shortcomings and not have to fight Mima or Reimu on stage seven.

>>49506693
>>49508194
>>49508122
>modern Touhou
Imagine if ZUN finally decides to bring her back, annoyed by the constant requests, but she's AI generated

>>49513127
I'd report ZUN to the Gensokyo Police Department if he pulled a stunt like that.

>>49513467
>Gensokyo
What the hell?! This is the PC98 thread! The Eastern Country shall not be identified by this horrid exonym!

>>49516159
sleepy yuuka was cuter

>>49516190
All forms of Yuuka are great but reaching the boss fight and having the villainess of the game be in her pajamas and holding a comically large watch asking you what you're doing making so much noise at such an hour is probably one of the best moments in the series.

>>49516159
No one represents the comedic psychopathy of the PC98 era as well as Yuuka.

Best professor.

>>49518852
Best girl

Elis bullying...

>>49528614
I don't remember my Elis being that busty.

Is mugemilk cheaper since the new trump's administration?

>>49542873
Government subsidized raw mugemilk and gengeggs!

>>49540580
Stop pretending to be cute and innocent, Gengetsu. We all know you’re a gremlin.

This thread reminded me of this vid:
https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm15644999

>>49540580
Gengetsu after her usual late-night gaming session on her favourite pvp game where she likes to taunt other players and shout slurs at them.

>>49533416
Insider sources have told me that Akatsuki Records's next song will be a cover of Tank Girl's Dream and that Rika's popularity will skyrocket as a result!

>>49533416
nanodesu :D

Elly really fell off, huh.

>>49546888
She's a talented girl, she can be both.

>>49549010
Not in my heart.

>>49552906
Who did they get to cosplay Gengetsu? She's got a pretty nice pair of tits lol

A corpse, beaten to a bloody pulp, was found in the outskirts of Mugenkan. Neither Miss Kazami nor her gatekeepers claim to know what happened, or under what circumstances the body found its way there. A white feather was found next to the crime scene.
"Such a waste of a robust, youthful body..." claimed Elly, gatekeeper of the Makaian mansion.
However, due to Mugenkan not falling under the juridiction of the Ministry of Right and Wrong, or the many vigilantes that harbor Gensokyo, since the great Makai tourism agency incident of 1998, no further investigation is excepted to happen, and the lands' owner, Miss Kazami, has, under Article 17.1.b, given herself legal ownership of any and all corpses falling upon her territory, for, I quote, "the improvement, diversification, and enflowering of Mugenkan soils"
Stay tuned and purchase your monthly edition of "The Monthly Orange" for Mugenkan news and 59 pages of beautiful landscapes

>>49554011
This senseless murder never would have happened if the Eastern Country had some sort of grassroots network of weak youkai who could band together and support each other.

>>49554011
>white feather
Mai did it. Case closed.

Is this good enough to play it?

Makai girls' beach holiday photo!

>>49567103
How can Shinki always look so erotic?

Paizuri tier list?

>>49567519
Elly's #1 because she needed to find a new line of work after LLS.

>>49567103
Girls?
All I see are cakes, dare I say hags!

>>49567519
During the time of an incident where everyone suddenly has huge breasts at least.

>>49571002 Rika can give good naizuri, but i don’t know about paizuri.

>>49571002
>YuugenMagan
My man, I don't know what it did to your penis but I promise you it wasn't paizuri.

PAIZURI

I'm more or naizuri guy myself.

The only person Yuki would paizuri is Mai!!!

>>49577189
I should have proofread that before posting. I meant "of a" and not "or".

This thread needs more Orange.

>>49577189
Well, then, you need yourself a ~~flat~~ efficiently sized tank engineer!

Does anyone know how to make(or where to get) pc98 sounding sound effects?
I guess it's similar to how you make pc98 styled music and just experiment with that...
>>49559664
Yes, it has every game separated in a different folder. In the first game the English version also has some bugfixes. The easiest way to play the games without having to configurate anything.
If you're bothered by non perfect pixel-scaling you have to change it in display>output though.

>>49579266
Unironically, your options are FM synthesis (Which as I'm sure you know is how ZUN composed all the music.) or bitcrunching some samples until it sounds like it could be played on a 16-bit computer.
That is basically the only two ways of doing it back in the day, so you should see decent results if you do either.
FM synth is a bit of a lost art though, so if you just want to get "good enough" results I'd recommend just taking a bunch of stock sounds and crushing them down until they sound appropriately crispy.

>>49579024
Will Evil Eye Sigma be watching? This is very important

Good morning PC-98 thread!

>>49579549
Oh my goodness, it's Kana in a barrel!

>>49535980
More like the sleeping FATTY

>>49579533
Well, Sigma isn’t exactly sentient. It’s just a tank. But naizuri nearby it or even inside it can be arranged.

Who do you think gives the best hugs among the PC-98 cast?

>>49590554
Elly
Or Mugetsu if you're short or a kid

>>49579024
>>49579533
>>49580970

>>49571002
Shinki and Yumeko need to swap places.

Describing every PC-98hu's hugs, starting with the HRTP cast!
-Shingyoku (f)
Deceptively strong, shameless hug. Used to male companionship and comfortable with it, the act of a mere hug has long since become mundane. Don't get any weird ideas just because her assets are pressing against you. She's got a short temper for pervy hands, and she's got the strength to make you regret that decision.

-Shingyoku (m)
Somewhere between a bro hug and a visit to the confessional, all at once and without a word spoken. This hug's a sign that he's got your back & is willing to listen. He may start spouting vague advice, even if unprompted, but the more you think about it, the more applicable & wise it sounds.

-YuugenMagan
First contact will ALWAYS end up with you feeling a light shock of static electricity. A hug you're likely to stop sooner rather than later, from the tingly feelings you're getting from the embrace, and a feeling of being watched. A shame, because YuugenMagan is still searching herself, and as of right now, is never too far off from Elis' dastardly deeds. With a little bit of willpower that others may lack, you can win her over and make her a good girl.

-Mima (HRTP ONLY)
A two act piece. It begins with her being very hesitant, and unwilling to hug anyone. She's shielding herself from further psychological damage and betrayals that led her down to the path of the vengeful spirit. If you do manage to break the barrier that stands between the heartbroken spirit & physical comfort, you'll be greeted with the clingiest hug you've ever experienced.
Quite honestly, i'm not sure how you'd get out of her grasp without her mind going insane about it. You may be able to guide her to a couch or a bed, but you're not leaving until she says so. I hope you enjoyed her company, because now that you've opened & healed her soul, you're stuck with a homicidal ghost with a heart repaired with cheap, store brand tape, and if you so much as leave for too long, praise another woman too much for her liking, it's YOUR heart that's in trouble, and possibly on the receiving end of a knife struck deep inside of it.
Are there any positives? Well, she's kind of a broken husk, so she's probably your best shot if you wish to be lecherous and indecent. She remains unstable & unpredictable, so proceed with caution, even in this scenario.

-Elis
In a rebellious phase, coaxing her into a hug is quite the task. If she's the one offering, expect your back to be taped with a paper that says something along the lines of "Sariel/Konngara/Kikuri sucks!". Much to her dismay, her pranks tend to be poorly thought out, with powerful beings in mind, sure, but ones that have lead such extensive lives that a mere jest like this will hardly get a reaction out of them. Will never let you know because of her prideful nature, but actually really enjoys your hugs. Once in a blue moon, particularly if its time for bed, you may catch a glimpse of the elusive, innocent Elis that just wants cuddles before sleep.

-Sariel/Kikuri
Grouped because the experience is fairly similar, yet different. Starting with what they share, they're absolute giants, towering over you. If they grant you the honor of a hug, you'll be sat down on their lap & embraced by their tall, yet gentle arms. The experience is an otherwordly experience that combines comfort, self reflection, fear, and acceptance. Their embrace both bring upon a journey - one where you'll be transported, witness the horrors of hell, or the inevitability of death, yet within that peek into the worst life has to offer, a light always seems to prevail. However, this light is not all-encompassing, but merely a reminder that there is always more than meets the eye, that turning away from the horrors of life won't do you any good, yet, equipped with this new wisdom, you should be able to see that there's always more to every situation.
Quite the powerful hug, isn't it?

-Konngara
Hardened by the path she's chosen, she'll be very reluctant to give you one in the first place. This won't get you any stronger, so why bother?
If by some miracle you manage to get her to agree, you'll be met with a suffocatingly strong grab, bordering on a bear hug. She bears no ill will, but again, this isn't exactly her domain, and her grasp speaks for itself, telling the tale of a warrior commited to power above all, might makes right, after all. The only saving grace in this rather unpleasant ordeal is that you're once again pretty small compared to who's hugging you, so don't worry about that horn stabbing you, worry about your back instead (speaking of which, Konngara probably lamented your posture and body before all of this happened).

>>49571002
Kana seems more likely to laugh at your penis than give paizuri. Yuuka too for that matter.

Genocide is just another game

>>49593617
Sariel's hugs are probably cold and hard, like marble. Maybe the skin is soft, but it's stone-cold, and you'd feel the hard bones beneath it very prominently, because it's so thin. (Don't get me wrong, it feels really good, actually)

>>49591760
Eh, you’re right. It’s probably too cramped inside the cockpit.

>>49593754
She fell through a cave on Mt Ebott

>>49594179
hehe, "cockpit"

I'm THIRSTY

>>49598792
Bruh, Evil Eye Sigma isn’t from Zone of the Enders. Now THOSE are cock-pits.

Sometimes I wonder about the locations within Makai apart from Pandemonium like the Ruins of Vina and the Fallent Temple and how they would look like. They've gotta be spooky places.

I'll show Rika what a REAL one-eyed monster looks like.

>>49513540
What do you mean? The name was dropped in the game title: "Touhou Gensokyo Lotus Land Story"
But is Gensokyo where Reimu resides or the dream world.... Maybe the place is actually called Lotus Land, who knows...
>>49601931
Probs megaten inspired. But yeah, I wish we got a few more looks at Makai as well as Hell. HRtP has a quite eerie feeling in the backgrounds so they probably feel spooky.

>>49602011
What does this even mean...?

>>49602815
One-eyed monster is slang for penis, Evil Eye Sigma is a tank that looks like a literal one-eyed monster, and Rika's the engineer who built it. Given all the cockpit jokes, I thought it was appropriate to post that.

>>49602647
>What do you mean? The name was dropped in the game title: "Touhou Gensokyo Lotus Land Story"
>But is Gensokyo where Reimu resides or the dream world.... Maybe the place is actually called Lotus Land, who knows...
Not even going to comment here. What are you doing in the pc98 thread if you don't even know your basics.

Only today did it register for me that Mai's wings shift completely from angel-like to devil-like upon defeating Yuki.
Am I dead weight?

>>49607167
Gensokyo only exists in the title of LLS. Afaik Reimu's shrine is only said to be in the mountains of an eastern country and in the human world.
And don't start talking about absurd things like a CD with a killer clown or some game that's a weird LLS-MS hybrid I have already heard all those jokes

>>49607345
It's a neat little detail, guess Mai is the closest to Shinki in a way... yet she seems to also be the only one who's really nasty of MS(besides the protags).
>Am I dead weight?
For her you probably are... But we all know she's just making excuses because she sucks at teamwork.
What I always wondered though is if the white dots that fall from her wings. I like to think they're snow or glittering ice.

>>49610146
NTA, bhat reminds me, what actually is the plot of MS again? What motivates each of the protags to go to Makai?

>>49610635
but that*

>>49610635
>Reimu
a bunch of residents of Makai are visiting the shrine as a tourist destination and she's mad that she has to do her job
>Marisa
Makai is a huge place for magicians, so she decides to go touring herself
>Mima
claims the human world as her own place and thinks the Makaifolk are intruding on her turf
>Yuuka
"lmao"

>>49610251
Kigurumi cosplay or doll??

>>49612567
Doll

>>49612928
So hot. I don't like Gengetsu that much, but still, I wish a had a doll like that. PC98 naturally. No time to make it sadly but maybe in several years.

I love Mai so much
I wan to strangle Yuki while having sex with Mai

speaking of oldwork dolls check out this custom yumemi. source -> https://gajiru.ame-zaiku.com/gallery.htm
shame there aren't more. to my memory there's only a handful of fanmade figurines and the dolls are even more scant. there's some twitter guy's yumeko (couldn't find any pics on my computer but i didn't look too hard), this yumemi and the gengetsu itt. we need more, get on it, people!

>>49610666
Mima: "You don't seem to understand, this world isn't yours to conquer"

>>49610666
Completely trashing up Makai because she was bored out of her mind

>>49610666
Mima was mostly curious and then decided to bullshit her way through Makai for shits and giggles before deciding she'd rather mess with Reimu. I don't know how intentional it was but I liked Mima's character arc over the course of the PC-98 games and I like to think Marisa ended up being a good influence on her.

>>49617950
>Mima was mostly curious and then decided to bullshit her way through Makai for shits and giggles before deciding she'd rather mess with Reimu
Definitely how her dialogue comes across in-game, but it seems like that's a shift in attitude that happened once she arrived. At least, if the prologue text is anything to go by.

>Mima: "Those snobby Makai demons. Don't they know that the human world is mine?"

Mima is the funniest PC-98 character for me. She can go as far as permanently altering the Earth's rotation to have the moon eternally up in the sky just to mess with Reimu or conquering the land of demons just to later put on a mattress and pester Reimu pretending to be a spooky ghost while her shrine was being infested with monsters.

Drawing

>>49617976
I forgot about that line.

>>49617999
Yeah it's a real farcry from her HRtP and SoEW self but I like that kind of character development. Also I know she didn't really have much characterization in HRtP but she looked particularly vengeful and murderous there to me.

>>49618860
Nice!

HI ANONS!!!!!!!!!!!!

>>49618958
Stop screaming

>>49619423
WAKE THE FUCK UP YOU GREEN HAG!!!!

Tank girls?

>>49620043
Rika created this?

>>49619532
Bold words for someone in master spark range

>>49620099
If she could create all those bakebake, it wouldn't be too far-fetched to assume she could have created this as well.

>>49618860
Kurumi!

>>49620801
Used automobile goods!

>>49610635
>>49610666
Yuuka also says that she wanted to go to Makai in the prologue which also ties up with her ending.

>>49617999
Mima is wonderful, I really would love to have more of such an silly evil character.

>>49618920
She also says something like "Someone like you can't understand how a ghost feels" in the HRtP ending, being the only character aside from Reimu to say anything in the game...
So that might add to her vengeful spirit characterization.

>>49625161
I like to think Marisa still has Mimi-chan rusting in peace somewhere in her home.

Marriagegetsu!

>>49631606
hi forgotten makai people from th5 ending...

>>49631026
>blue eyes
>that boob size
Something's wrong, I can feel it

>>49631727
>blue
Blue genges are good too. Though that one is actually pink...

Someone come up with a mnemonic to help me remember which one is Mugetsu and which one is Gengetsu.

>>49631727
That artist draws Genge with a random eye color every time.

>>49631771
Mugetsu starts with M
Milk also starts with M
Mugetsu is the one with tits

>>49631786
M(ugetsu) is for Maid! G, however...

>>49631983
I'd rather Gengebutt smothering my face

>>49579403
>samples
iirc this was rarely done, especially back in the day, since even kinda shit samples took up crazy amounts of space compared to FM sound effects
>>49579266
use bambootracker and play with the synth settings until you have the sound you want. if you've ever used bfxr it's similar to that.
>>49590554
idk but i need a ghost hug from mima ASAP

i love pc 98 threads :)

Apparently in Japan there is a PC-98 exclusive convention. Was held a couple days ago. Hopefully I'll be albe to attend in the future.

>>49645474
what's it called?

>>49645474
I don't know its name but I saved this image a while back

>>49646530
>>49646584
It's called 幺樂団カァニバル
Yogakudan Carnival, if the translator is correct.

>>49645474
Yeah, my mutual Orangefags are over there selling their items and posting all the stuff they’ve bought. I have some of their stuff already, but it would’ve been nice to be there myself and meet them and buy a whole lotta other stuff.
Maybe one day…

>>49646961
That Orange sealed glass is very cool!
If I get to go to a Japan 2hu convention, i'm absolutely hunting all the PC-98 and newhu (HSiFS onwards) merch I can get.

>>49646961
I'm always surprised to see that there are actually quite a lot of Orange artists and fans, certaintly more than I would expect from a stage 1 boss of a forgotten game. Honesly sometimes it feels like she's more popular than Mima and Shinki.

>>49647037
We Orange fans are a dedicated bunch lel

>>49647037
Orangebros control the PC-98 scene from the shadows. Kana Anaberal fans are the ultimate puppet masters behind even them.

>>49646749
that's actually really cool, i'll have to keep an eye out.
>>49647037
it probably helps that orange resembles a certain someone.

Have a strawberry!

When are Yumemi and Orange teaming up to form the Fruity Girls?

Who-range?

paizuri paizuri paizuri

>>49660581
Please do not bully my wife by excluding her like that. She deserves better.

>>49645419
>use bambootracker and play with the synth settings until you have the sound you want.
Thanks, I tried it earlier and wanted to know if there was an easier way, but all I found was a harder way (PMD without a graphic interface just text, which I guess is closer to what pc98 composers did)... So guess I'll keep messing around with it.
>iirc this was rarely done
Yeah, there are just a few retro games that used them and mostly for recording some voices iirc.
But I think anon was just talking about getting an easy passable result.

>>49671235(me)
>But I think anon was just talking about getting an easy passable result.
>>49579403
>That is basically the only two ways of doing it back in the day
Nevermind I completely failed at reading. Can't really think of anything that devs would gain much aside from voicelines in retro games.
Bamboo tracker also has a sample track but I wonder how many pc98 games actually used it.
I guess I'll try to go with FM, going by the MS music room I assume ZUN mostly used 5 FM channels and the 3 SSG channels for the music leaving one FM chanel for sfx.

Mima is the fossilized wonder who we'll meet in Touhou 20

>>49671296
>>>49579403
TA, I was thinking about how most, if not all of Doom's SFX are just really crispy samples taken from a stock sound album. Maybe not applicable to the PC9800 in retrospect, but it was technically an option is what I was thinking, even if it was much rarer on the 16 bit machines.

>>49663965
Coming right up!

>>49673790
Even that artist has fallen for the Gengemilk virus

>>49671235
same anon from earlier, something else you could try, if you don't mind being limited to a pre-defined set of instruments, is compose your music with modern MIDI tools and use the ym2608 soundfont to play it back or record the output. tracker programs can kinda suck and if all you wanna make is standard music they can be a little overkill.
>>49671296
>Bamboo tracker also has a sample track but I wonder how many pc98 games actually used it.
rusty immediately springs to mind, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkDgnNr4kIw
>>49673277
the pc98 as ZUN knew it was a 32 bit machine too, even HRtP requires at least a 386. big difference here is HRtP requires about 600KB of free memory while Doom required 4-8MB, a not-insignificant percentage of that likely being dedicated to the sound.

>>49673910
While Mugetsu usually has big boobs there is no consensus on Genge's chest size

The correct way to interpret "The two of us put together are actually a full-fledged adult!" is that Muge is a titcow and Genge is so flat her chest is concave, and if you add them together you get a reasonable bust size for a human woman

Mugetsu? Gengetsu? No thanks, I'm a Muchacha kind of guy.

>>49674879
kek, I love that

>>49673277
>if not all of Doom's SFX are just really crispy samples taken from a stock sound album.
Now that I think of it yeah, makes sense for gun and monster noises if you want them realistic, maybe some things like the item sfx are not samples but they all sound very sample-ish
>rusty immediately springs to mind
Those are some really crunchy lines, but it's a neat detail.
Even the NES used voice samples sometimes like in Double Dribble:

>>49674687
Thought you would say that one is tits and the other ass.

Elly is my favorite pc-98 hu. My friend loves Kurumi.

>>49676106
You both have great taste.

>>49676106
My favorite is Yumemi. Though Rika’s a dark horse.

>>49680647
She's my favorite too.

>>49676106
Rika's my favorite 2hu in general, not just 98hu. I like Shinki a lot too, though.

>>49680647
Total Rika love, Extra Love!

>>49676106
I like Kotohime

>>49680952
I remember you from the ai threads, you're cool

>>49681023
You too, Rika friend, I saved a lot of images from that last thread.

Huge ass Genge?

>>49676106
Who is your friend? I need to meet him

>>49682434
I don't have a huge ass Gengetsu but hopefully this huge ass Elly will make up for it.

>Elly's ass is so fat it dragged us down to page 10
Impressive.

>>49684620
huge indeed

I've been liking Elis a lot more lately. She's probably my favorite HRTP girl now.

>>49688595

>>49693410
Yeah, sure.
Sounds just as much as a fun time as what I was thinking...

>>49694355
I promise i won't misuse them again.

Has anyone played the games in a crt?
I tried MS stage 4 with some shaders to expecting even worse visibility, but contrary to my expectations the blurry bullets seemed easier to see.

>>49701840
Almost like old games were designed to be played on CRTs.

Genge tries to act cute to get subs to her gaming channel

>>49705503
What's with the color gradient in hair? It's a Lost Word thing, right?

>>49705632
>It's a Lost Word thing, right?
Yes, probably

>>49705872
That's a funny smile.

>>49705872
Is that the face she makes during Gengetsu Rape Time?

>>49706428
cant beat THE smile

>>49710434
Kotohime's smile is so bright she causes epileptic seizures. Now that's one impressive smile.

Everyday I check this thread for Rikas and see none...

>>49711465
I will post the strongest Rika i have just for you.

>>49710547
It really is funny that 3 games in, when SoEW had figured it out and so did PoDD's other bombs, Kotohime destroys your eyes with a significantly flashier bomb than everyone else's.
Truly a pecular gal, that Kotohime.

>>49715982
I wouldn't have her any other way.

>>49711465
It’s tough, since she’s just not popular. At least we have Rikanon.

>>49711529
This is awesome, I don't think I've seen this one before actually, thanks!

>>49718186
>Rikanon
Yeah, I suppose. But even if I can just make Rikas at will I still wish she got more legitimate artwork from other people.

>>49719522
>This is awesome, I don't think I've seen this one before actually, thanks!
Any time.

my favourite yuugen fanart

What the hell is icemilk magic anyway?

>>49722786
Really cool use of negative space.

Spawnkilling Genge and muting her on makaispeak!

Genge should pay more attention to Miss Yumemi's classes instead of daydreaming about videogames. Very dumb girl. Also very flat.

Perfection

I really, really like this Kurumi face. Please tell me there's fanart of it.

>>49728071
>Please tell me there's fanart of it
I don't know any. Here's an Ellyface though

>>49724532
I don't know, I'm inclined to believe very smart and very flat might be a better combo.

Kurumi's a fun gal

If you want to go easy, there's a YM2608 soundfont. You will use this in a DAW of choice (I use Ardour, personally.)
https://musical-artifacts.com/artifacts/2175
Another option is to get the VOPM vsti in a DAW of choice and then import these instruments into VOPM.
https://pastebin.com/J4b9SkJE
This is a really authentic sounding option while being somewhat easy to setup.

The YM2608 is the soundchip that is used throughout the PC-98 touhou series (save for the YM2203, which was used in Touhou 2 and 3). (The YM2203 is similar to the YM2608, but it has fewer FM channels and less sound features.)

But if you want to make authentic PC-98 music which may be played back on a PC-98, then learn how to code in PMD MML. PMD is the main music driver that Touhou 2-5 uses. (Touhou 1 uses MDRV, but that's another story entirely.) PMD is what communicates the hardware to the software. MML is music macro language. Back in the day, the music composers were also programmers. Be forewarned that coding in MML is absolutely fucking tedious. When you actually compose a song for PMD, it will run on an actual PC-98, provided it has a YM2608 or an 86 board (an entire sound module.)

Resources.
Here is the official PMD mml manual translated in english.

Here is Masahiro Kajihara's (creator of PMD) official website.

If you can understand nip, then Masahiro Kajihara also has a youtube channel showing him composing FM synth music.

https://yewtu.be/watch?v=aeYVqMd7rkM - Hertzdevil illustrating what coding in PMD mml looks like. When I did this myself, I kind of ripped off his setup. Essentially, I set up a Windows XP VM. You will need FMPMD2000 to play back the compiled MML files, which are .M or .M2 files. You will need the PMD driver itself. MC.exe is what you will be using to compile the .mml files you create.
http://www5.airnet.ne.jp/kajapon/dat/PMD48O_F.LZH - This is the entire package containing what you need to compile .mml files.
To make this less tedious, you will need MuMML.
Basically, MuMML streamlines this process. Whenever you save the .mml file you are working on, it will automatically compile it, so that you can play it back using FMPMD2000.
https://battleofthebits.com/lyceum/View/PPMCK - MuMML may be found here.
You can make your own instruments in MML, but it's rather a confusing and tedious process. If you want to use the instruments that ZUN uses, then they are listed here.

Not really necessary but may come in handy and still interesting to read.

Not necessary either, but if you can read nip, this is a fun read.

Yumemi! She's my favorite!

>>49753702
Thanks a lot for all of this info, it's really interesting. I really should get serious with learning nip...

Having a joystick port in a soundboard seems a bit wacky. But idk, older tech has it's charm.
And the games feel so nostalgic even if I haven't played...

>(save for the YM2203, which was used in Touhou 2 and 3)
Huh, guess it now makes sense that the sound effects get muted that much in PoDD then, kinda funny to have a sound downgrade from 1 to 2 though.

>Be forewarned that coding in MML is absolutely fucking tedious.
Sounds like it...I doubt I'll get into coding true pc98 music. Maybe bambootracker, but I doubt I'll be able to handle coding sounds/music.

>>49738327
Bit sad that people can't post anyone pointing without thinking of jaks but it's always nice to see art of pc98 stages

>>49767239
>Huh, guess it now makes sense that the sound effects get muted that much in PoDD then, kinda funny to have a sound downgrade from 1 to 2 though.
I forgot to include that Touhou 1 did indeed utilize the YM2203.
But, I'll note that Touhou 1, 2, and 3, have arranges in the Mystic Square music room where the OST is arranged for the YM2608.

>>49757548
She looks really eager to tell us all about Jesus.

>>49768508
>But, I'll note that Touhou 1, 2, and 3, have arranges in the Mystic Square music room where the OST is arranged for the YM2608.
Huh, guess the reason why music sounds brighter and fancier in LLS onwards is mostly because of the added channels.
Although PoDD also sounds a bit brighter than SoEW and HRtP imo.
>>49722786
Pretty sick pic honestly

>>49757548
>>49768866
Listening to Yumemi-sama's endless ramblings about jesus and science and ultimately chickening out of asking her out!

Yumemi is dreamy.

Know what? Fuck you. I'm unhagging your auntie.

>>49780756
Man, auntie used to be so cute. Bet she pulled guys in by the handful. Right?

Meira?

>>49786567
Right, and Kana's mansion is a booming household entirely comprised of easily frightened scaredy cats.

Do you guys think Yumemi and Mima will ever face legal percussions from locking the moon in place that one time or nah?

>>49788154
There was no law against moving the moon(before they did at least).
But Yumemi might be charged for heresy(science) but I think with the help of extradimensional rights she might avoid any repercussion.

>>49798088
>extradimensional rights
That made me chuckle as an Ace Attorney fan.

>>49798088
No shot. The Parallel Police already have an arrest warrant out for her

>>49724056
It means when you suck it out it comes out cold instead of warm

Incoming ICBM!

Is this on-model enough?

>>49815733
Absolutely not, the Yuuka I know wears a tea towel as her overclothes.
Nice work though, it is actually very good.

>>49815733
Flat, long hair, green eyes, pants? Yep, it's makai genocide time.

>>49798113
Nice, someone got the ref. Interdimensional laws sound like a mess, honestly.
>>49808318
What do you mean? Moving the moon in a different world is out of the jurisdiction of the parallel police!
It's not like like she caused any imbalance between parallel dimensions or anything... I'm sure she's innocent!
