Scarlet Weather Rhapsody English Patch v1.0
After several months of hard work by a group of dedicated translators, editors, and programmers, the English patch for Scarlet Weather Rhapsody is finally available! To download, just click on the image above or on either of the mirror links below. Just make sure to have SWR itself updated to the latest current version (1.06); you can download the patch from Tasofro’s website here.
You can check out the official page for the English translation patch here.
Big thanks go out to mauve, Halbarad, Rotals Nartnona, _dk, Akira, TMN, and Mefidex for all their hard work on the patch!

Hooray, finally it’s done.
This is a perfect reason to unzip the archive and play SWR~
What the fucking fuck?
This is the best news ever
Thank you. : )
I love you, mauve and hal.
and the others that I didn’t know worked on this. I love you, too.
Holy shit.
Holy shit.
I…I…have a reason to play SWR now. D:
I CAME
Use the brakes!
Now in all seriousness
OMG!!! Thank you so very much for this. My thanks to the translators! Finally!!! Thanks so much! And thanks for posting the links for the download here a well.
For whatever reason, it won’t install for me. I select the directory where SWR is located, and then the OK box grays out.
Teruyo: The exact check is that it looks for th105.exe and th105a.dat, if it can’t find either of those it won’t let you install to that location. The common problem here is that you have renamed the program to something else, and this is not acceptable for the mod.
Awesome! To those that made this happen, thanks for this awesome work. You guys are trully loved! Thank you!
Can I ask for some advice here? I know I need an up to date version of SWR to play, but I can’t get the version 1.06 patch to work, it always gives an error at the point where the progress bar first shows up.
Patching problems are fairly common, unfortunately.
Make sure to remove kanji from the game’s folder name, as it screws up japanese software somewhat. Look to see that it puts th105c.dat into the game directory, if it puts it somewher eelse you will have to copy both that and th105.exe over manually. Nothing much I can do about this.
Yesh~
Ah, thanks for your help, it was putting the files into a different folder, but I’ve moved them over now and everything works fine.
Some part of the install didn’t go through well. All my data is gone! And my data from the Japanese version, too!
Since 12.3 is essentially just an expansion, can we expect to see another English patch soon like how Subterranean Animism’s came after Mountain of Faith’s was made.
Regarding 12.3, if we do it, don’t expect it soon. There’s a possibility of a lesser mod for it, eg Weather names only, but a full translation is definitely a ways off. SWR was a ridiculous amount of work to make a translation mod for, and not just because of the dialogue. It’s been a pretty draining experience and I think a lot of us want to work on other things for awhile.
People will definitely be getting on UFO though.
Nice. Finally, we’ve got all the Windows games for now.
Only one tiny problem, though–If you try to run the patched game without the update patch from Tasofro, it says something along the lines of this:
“SWR not Patched!
A patch can be downloaded from
http://tasofro.net/arc/download.html”
The thing about is that the http://tasofro.net/arc/download.html link is no longer available on Tasofro’s website. They apparently changed the link to the update patches to:
http://tasofro.net/arc/index.html
Changing this to show the proper link should help people who may otherwise not be aware of where to look in order find these updates. Be sure to do the same for the IaMP english patch, too.
Thanks a lot for this translation. Now I don’t have to guess what to select anymore! =D
My balls just asploded.
Yes! Now I can mess around with options without fear of deleting my profile!
OMFG
I love whoever translated this forever. I’ve been meaning to play this game for a while, but the shooters have me hooked. Now I have an excuse.
My eyes just popped Tex Avery-style. AWESOME+1!! You guys rock!
I’m having trouble patching my game to 1.06. When I try, it keeps telling me that I have invalid characters in the filename even though I don’t.
[...] Gensokyo.org [...]
Love this update. Love love love it~
Haven’t played SWR yet, but Thank you very much for all the awesome work on the patch!
I’m having trouble installing this patch. The patch gets past the check for installation folder, however it gives an error saying unable to open file for writing. When i look in the folder, these files aren’t even there.. anyone any idea’s?
all touhou game(full version) is now patched
WTH,translation patch don’t work >__<. WTF!!!
BOO-FREAKING-YAH
MY LIFE IS COMEPLETE
Thanks to all who translated this game!! :] Now, time to play some SWR!
OMG… you guys are god!!!!! THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN
THAT’S SO FUCKING AWESOME, THAT I HAVE TO WRITE IN CAPS!
HELL YEAH!!! XD
The installer is the same one I used for IaMP’s English translation.
It sounds like the people having trouble installing don’t have administrative privileges or something. I’ll have to look into this – In the meantime you should be able to force it to run at that level, sorry.
Er, not force it I mean, allow all access to the directory that contains SWR. Sorry.
I can force the installer to all-admin but that messes up the installation of desktop-related goodies and whatnot. Looking at UAC plugins, dunno if I’ll do anything with them or not though.
Great news!
Thanks for the translation! You guys rock SO MUCH!
Marisa(wins) Vs Yukari
Why is it called \” weather rain”\
when it rains and the sun is shinning
is that correct?
Oh, great!
It’s unfortunate that it was released so close to 12.3, but this is still very much appreciated~
@Immac: read the readme.txt that comes with the patch. It says:
“weather rain (vs Yukari):
Sunshowers are called weather rain (天気雨, tenkiame) in Japanese.”
\”weather rain\” … pointing out this one too, but for different reasons. The translator left in the quote escaping backslash in the translated text
Actually, I think he was referring to the \” part. Shouldn’t be slashes there. Looks like two other win quotes have the same problem, so probably a genuine bug here.
Hope that’s the worst of it, really.
I’m getting “Error opening the file for writing” whenever I try to install it. I have no idea what the problem is.
I covered this above. It’s a Vista UAC thing, I’m looking into it. Just allow all access to the SWR directory and you’ll probably be fine.
Does the color palette mod still work with this?
Woo! Now I can play SWR AND understand what’s going on. Thanks very much!
yes im refering to the backslashes, also
Suiaks scenario, Battle Vs Iku, is she supposed to say
Quickly, the these clouds
are getting thicker and thicker
???
and BTW thanks for this patch, thanks you very much!
woo this is good news indeed
Before installing this english patch, you should DL and install all tasofro released patch for SWR. Even not installed SWR(copy paste folder) detected by all the patch. I’m running in vista, else, i dunno…
Finally!!! Some of us can play swr without using fully brain searching mode for the meaning of these moonspeak word.
I had no problems installing it in vista, in fact i have never had an installation problem on vista, just turn of the UAC and vista works like a charm.
I downloaded both the patch and the update, and patched SWR and tried to open SWR, but it said that I had to update it up to version 1.06, and then the japanese version of SWR automatically opened, along with a window that said “Could not hook into th105.exe Do you have GameGuard or something running?” I’m sure I patched SWR up to v1.06 before patching it with the English Patch, and that I don’t have anything like GameGuard running. What’s up?
Open your tasofro folder->th105, is there th105 inside of th105 folder? if so, move all the file to the parent folder(where it contain original th105.exe), if you install the patch up to english patch, at least you see th105a.dat, th105b.dat, th105c.dat, th105e.dat. It must placed together with th105.exe.
Something wrong in the english patch’s exe, there are no profiles, and it crashes when i try to create a new one yet in the untranslated one, everything’s the same
Nevermind, i sorted it.
Thanks for the patch <3
@DaiaX — I can’t seem to find “th105e.dat” anywhere…
Nvm, I found it, but it still won’t work and still pops out those messages…
I don’t get what’s wrong….
Nvm, I finally got it to work
Thanks!
boo! Somethings wrong i cant play it, i go to install the patch and i cant even click the next button after choosing a place for it to install to >__< what should I do?
nao: This was noted earlier in the thread: It looks for th105.exe and th105a.dat in the target location, if it can’t find them then your install is messed up. Most likely you renamed the th105.exe or something, which is wrong.
Anyway. I’ve noted all of the text issues brought up so far, if there is another release they’ll be fixed.
Thanks a lot, excellent work !!
Hooray!.jpg
Thank you very much for this patch, I gave up on alt-tabbing to touhou wiki from SWR to get the story mode translations, but now, I don’t have to!
Hello,
I’ve SWR Ver. 1.02 and i want to patch it to 1.06 for the ENG patch.
My problem is that i cant patch 1.03 so that i can patch to the next Ver.
I clicked on the patch then i click on next where it shows the browse selection then again Next and afterward Install then it shows me a error with kanji’s that i cant read and some wierd symbols –> /:*?”|
I’ve tried many things to install the patch but none of them work.
sorry for my bad english but what it wrong with it?
Is there a thread for FAQ installing SWR english patch in forum/wiki? if not, someone need to start create it(not a forum type myself).
@Hakurei- normally the patch target to “th105″ folder, not “tasofro” folder, or where it contains th105.exe. You may want scroll up the comment, hope you can find solution.
When is 12.3 released?
Perhaps I’m ignorant and didn’t notice this before (on the unpatched version), but why is there Hebrew below the names of the stages on the stage selection screen?
@Chaos
Your guess is as good as mine. If anything else, it looks nice.
Well it was targeting
C:\Documents and Settings\Eric\Bureaublad\Touhou Scarlet Weather Rhapsody\th105
Ive even create a th105 folder and put all the files in there but non of them works.
Thanks for everything you do, gensokyo.org!
Awesome!
The only thing I find weird is that whenever I try playing the patched version of the game my antivirus insists on that it’s ”malware”.
Why is this? :S
So how come when I trie to DL the 1.06 patch the brows button takes me right to the Tasofro file in C: but when I go to look for it in C: myself it’s not there at all. Even a search for Tasofro wont bring it up. What’s the deal with that?
Umm, maybe it is hidden… i dunno(hands up)
BTW, there is MU link for Touhou 12.3 – Unthinkable Natural Law (Hisoutensoku), you may want to check the forum (it is rude to post the link here)
Best.Update.Ever.
gensokyō <3
Thanks for it. Cheer for Hisoutensoku.
Looks like I need to replay some stuff. o_o;;
Holy cow! THANK YOU ALL FOR THIS TRANSLATION! *-*~
I love this game so much that I was playing it front-to-back without knowing a cent about the card effects or the history… Used the mod, played a bit of Marisa’s Story Mode on Lunatic (just for the lolz) and OH MY GOD, EVERYTHING MAKES SO MUCH MORE SENSE NOW! (or not. hehehe, story mode os so much fun x)
Damn, I want to pay the creators and translators for all the fun that this game is worth. LOVE YA ALL!
お疲れ様でした
I cant still install patch 1.03
nvm for somehow i can now patch it to 1.06 + eng patch :S
Why does Aya look so evil in the screenshot? D:
@Hakurei: Most likely you had illegal characters in your path..
Hooray!
At least, I wil be able to witness the ending of one of the touhou games for real!
Now, it won’t be just the glory of finishing, I’ll be able to understand it!
I’m really grateful, and now, to thank the translators!
ok i was able to get the patch installed…but it still says SWR not patched…which mean i was supposed to update it to 1.06………thing is…that was already done before i added the english patch….any ideas? XPPPPPPP
never mind i was able to get it working… thx ^^
I got the exact same problem as “1234321″ below: I already patched my SWR to 1.6 and installed the english patch successfully, yet when I try to run it an error pops up saying “This requires SWR v1.6, please patch to that version”, then it launches the japanese version witch then immidiately crashes (intro theme starts playing but screen remains black).
DaiaX has already replied to this problem with the fix but I didn’t quite get what he meant… Do you have to move all the files inside the “th105″ folder to the SWR folder where all the original files are? Or do you have to take all four th105a.dat, th105b.dat, th105c.dat and th105e.dat files that are in the SWR folder and move them inside the th105 folder? I haven’t tried anything yet cause I don’t want to screw anything up, so…
The crashing on an incorrect detection thing really should have been caught in testing on my side. Oh well, it’s harmless anyway.
The problem is that the 1.06 patch is not installing correctly for you: If you do not see 1.06 in the title bar of the game, it is not correctly patched. When this happens it puts th105.exe and th105c.dat in the directory where it actually installed to, and you can just copy those to the place where the game actually is. It’s a common problem with Tasofro’s patch installer but it has nothing to do with our code.
Problem solved, thanks for clearing that up for me!
I’ve been struggling for 2 hours, and I can’t:
-Find a full version
-download ANY patches
-find some .dll file
-find th105e.dat
I really want to play, but I can’t get anywhere…
For some reason I cant click play when I get to the menu, it wont let me play D:
I got a problem with the English Patch. Whenever I defeat Suika as Reisen Inaba, no message appears afterward. Dialogue appears in the original Japanese, but not in the English version.
Looking at the files, it seems that we missed a common win quote.
Wonder why no one brought this up before.
Its a good thing I noticed it. And its not just Suika, but I think a few other characters has this problem, too.
I could not update my SWR game to version 1.06. I redirected the patch to the “th105″ folder. After that, nothing happened; when I ran the game, it still said version 1.01. I don’t know what to do; the patch didn’t come with English instructions. Please help.

Patching tutorial above.
Just wondering – would you be able to toggle between English – Japanese?
@KyuuA4:
There’s no “toggle” feature to the English patch. Just run the Japanese .exe if you want Japanese or the th105_e.exe for English. Speaking of the patch, how’s the update progress?
Having a bit of trouble here, I can’t even seem to get the right version of the game. I try to start it up to test it and I get an error, this is before and after patching. I know where to get the patch and I’m looking at the tutorial and all, but does anyone know a place I can find the game that works for sure?
When I try to start the one I have, I get: ‘This application has failed to start because d3dx9_33.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.’
Ha, nevermind, just found the file. In case anyone else needs it: http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?d3dx9_33
I just put it in the game folder and now it works.
What? Finally good news! I can finally understand the game. Thanks to all who are made this patch available.
This is awesome! I salute you for all your hard work.
I have a question that deals with SWR and 12.3/Hisoutensoku;
How exactly do I get SWR characters in 12.3?
i cant get the patch to work. it says the file is not patched and tells me to go to a website plz halp
i can’t patch the game for some reason D:
i did the thing in the http://amethystviper.deviantart.com/journal/27681527/
and i put the d3dx9_33.dll in the game file and when i click and play it i still get swr 10.1
oh nvm i found out how to update it now
u have to put the th105.exe and th105dat in the same file as your other files
then u pop the d3dx9_33.dll also in that same while click the th105.exe(it may just say th105) and it shounld say *jap words 10.6* on the top
then just install the english patch into the same file as your d3dx9_33.dll and other files and wala (i think that how u spell it) u got swr english version!!!!! omg
opps i notice i did a mistake in what i did when i mean th105dat i mean th105c dat
Ummm…I believe I patched it correctly, but the video refuses to show. The video is black with garbled colors. The sound works fine, though. I’m running XP. Anyone with a similar problem?
Thank you gensokyo staff for making this patch. You don’t know how awesome it was to be able to play SWR in english. On that note, is there an english patch for Hisoutensoku, the expansion for SWR? Does this english patch exist already or is there one in the works? I want to start playing Hisoutensoku but I’d love to play while taking in the story. Anyways thanks again for making this patch. Cheers.
i got it to work and everything with the dl3 crap, then with the english patch, the problem is when i went to deck construction, it blocked and said that there is a problem with th105.exe, it seems i dont have it (?) how can i fix this?
p.s.: thaaank you for tanslating this, i bow down to you!!
I get the error: SWR not patched! The Patch may be downloaded from http://tasofro.net/arc/download.html
what to do?
hi, there is a new patch for the game. how can I patch it? It is ver 1.10
i cant get it to work… it says ” Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item ” when i try to open it. Does it needed to be in a specific area?
i had same problem as 1234321 but i moved all my SWR files to that tasofro folder but it still gives me the same message
The Next button grays out on me for the patch even when I manually find the exe, or “A” file for th123.
Help?
Can anyone help me with this because I get to the pint where I select the folder where SWR is located but it won’t let me select a folder. Can anyone help me or give me a guide to do this?
thanks for the patch =) only one thing before i can install it. i need tsafro v.1.05 but i cant find it on the tasfro site =X it has v 1-4 and v6 can someone please help me with this >.<
Why is it that no matter which version of the game I download I can’t seem to get the th105c.dat file I’ve downloaded the game 3 different times and none of the versions included this file. I even ran a search for the file but its not found either. So everytime I patch the game, it tells me that the game isn’t patched @_@. Any help? the Japanese version works, but I’d like to play the English version
I’m on a W7 machine and had the same problem until I tried this:
-right click on the parcher
-properties
-go to “compatibility” tab
-check the box above “Windows XP (Service Pack 3)”
-acept
-run the parcher
Now the problem should be solved.
(sorry if there’s sth misspelled, eng is not my first language and I’m running Windows that’s in spanish)
Won’t work for me even if i’ve downloaded V1.06
THIS DOSEN’T WORK FOR ME BUT I’VE DOWNLOADED V.106 AND INSTALLED IT!
Can someone help me? SWR won’t acknowledge the update patch, and I may be clicking the wrong things when I try to patch it, because everything is written in computer gibberish.
^ I from 1.01 to 1.06 (skipping 1.05), worked fine for me.
Its from the link given on top http://www.tasofro.net/touhou105/download.html
i downloaded it. but at “Choose Install Location”, i can’t click on “Next”, whatever i do, please help =(

After I downloaded and patched the game I get an error saying “SWR is not patched!” What should I do?
Awesome, its just that when I install it and click the game, it says “SWR is not patched! the patch can be downloaded at http://tasofro.net/arc/download.html”
I went there, but the website didn’t work.
Is there any way to get around this? Or any idea what patch it is and where I can get it? I already got the 1.06 patch though.
I got v.106 running just fine, but I can’t seem to get the english version to start at all. The english patcher “installs,” but yet the english game won’t run. Again, no problems with the Japanese version after using the english patcher. Is there something I’m just not getting, or is there something special about patching the English version on Windows 7? Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
@ Ruk
i got the same problem anyone knows how to fix it?
