A simple cheat feature such as "unlimited lives and bombs" for the shooters would be very useful to have.

Among other reasons, I personally need it to record videos of the game stories (since I do not possess the necessary play skills).

"Just use skip mode then". I would, but skip mode de-syncs the dialogue from the backgrounds, which add to the aethetics of the story mode.

"What about cheat engine?" It is counterproductive to have yet another process running in the background. Also, cheat engine has a steep learning curve and is not very intuitive to use. Besides, all the Touhou code tables are fragmented all over different web forums and need some deep digging to discover.

Much more efficient and consistent than trying to automatically select
"Continue" on every Game Over menu, and then finding yet another hack
for TH10, TH11, and TH12 to either allow "real" continues on Stage 1
(they're equivalent to game restarts) or start in Stage 2. It even
bypasses score registration!

With these hacks, setting the start lives to zero technically isn't
even necessary – in fact, this even requires more complicated binhacks
for TH06 and TH07, which have two separate functions for "death with
≥1 lives" and "death/continue with 0 lives". However:
• I already wrote those first hacks
• They do pave the way for the eventual cheat patch (#8)
• Displaying zero lives does make the automatic continue functionality
  appear more thorough to testers.

What about thprac? It can even display it's UI inside the game and the backspace menu is available in story mode

(Also, if you're on a Steam Deck, you don't need to map every F key to a button in the built in controller, since 2.2.1.4 you can also just tap the options and they'll toggle on or off)
