To start THLSC, double-click thlsc.exe file and wait for the window to appear.
Before reading the game, you need to run the Touhou game first. Once the game is running, click the "Start" button to start reading the game's memory and get the information from the game.
You will see some colored texts in the black region and some buttons at the bottom of the window.
