What it is

Touhou Koumakyou ~ the Embodiment of Scarlet Devil (2002) was the first Windows game in ZUN’s Touhou Project series. It is a 32-bit Direct3D 8 program.

th06 “aims to perfectly reconstruct the source code of Touhou Koumakyou ~ the Embodiment of Scarlet Devil 1.02h” (th06 README). The README adds: “For a functioning port of the game to other platforms (Linux, modern Windows, etc), see the portable branch.”

Current status

  • Decompilation: very active (last update 2 November 2026).
  • Portable port: working, on its own branch; no ready-made releases.

What you need

  • Your own copy of the Embodiment of Scarlet Devil, version 1.02h. The README asks you to copy the original 東方紅魔郷.exe (checked by SHA256) into resources/th06.exe.
  • Build tools: Python 3, and on Linux or macOS msiextract and Wine for the original toolchain, as the README lists. The portable branch has its own build steps.

We do not link any copies of the game.

For the five earlier PC-98 Touhou games, see ReC98, which is reconstructing their source code.

FAQ

Can I play Touhou 6 natively on Linux?

Perfectly reconstructing the source code of Touhou 6 v1.02h, so that it compiles back into a binary identical to ZUN's. The portable branch builds on that work.
