I'm unable to run THCRAP with Wine I cry.
At least the pre-packaged patch works.

Yeah, I managed to run HSiFS with its standalone patch[www.thpatch.net], but "regular" thcrap just doesn't want to cooperate. Even running with the corresponding Proton version and the game's wineprefix didn't do the trick, so I don't know what's up with that.

That's a real shame. I don't know what to do.
I'm hoping for a genius to show up because I'm lost here.

Edit: maybe I'll ask on the thcrap discord.

I just got my steamdeck and I'm trying to get it to run with the english patch as well.
I can run the standalone patch with proton experimental compatibility and add that as a non-steam game but that's not what I want. I want to be able to click the green play button on the game I purchased on steam, and run the english patched version of the game.

On windows, I can put in launch options like
"C:\Steam\steamapps\common\th18\th18 (thpatch_en).exe" %command%
And this will work.

But on linux when I do the same
"/run/media/steamapps/common/th18/th18 (thpatch_en).exe" %command%
This doesn't work.

And again I was able to run it as a non-steam game. So am I doing something wrong with the launch options? If I can just get the launch options to redirect it to the patch.exe then it would seemingly work.

Thanks, my dude. It worked, even though I had to move my Touhou games and the THCRAP files into my home folder (didn't work when they were on a separate drive).
Might be related to permissions, so I'll check about it in a distant future but, for now, it works.

Nice

Can you share how you got thcrap installed? I tried running it and I got the error that .netframework isn't installed so I tried following the instructions to install that using the .sh file but then it said wine wasn't installed.

I just placed the contents of the thcrap.zip into ~/.local/thcrap. Then it launched with an error message saying that I needed to execute "thcrap_configure.exe", so I created a wineprefix in my home folder to do just that. I couldn't finish the configuration since it crashed when trying to locate games, but then I could play the games perfectly.

Don't know what would cause this issue with .netframework but isn't that related to mono? I think I had this problem when I tried back in the day. Maybe it was winehq's fault. I installed Wine from my distro's deb package this time.

Gonna search a bit later.

I'm a bit late to this party, but here's a guide I just published on this very topic:
https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2909925037

It's a python script that automates downloading and running thcrap.

Should work for other ZUN-made games, too. Let me know how you fare if you try.
