I heard about a D20 (D&D 3rd) Touhou Conversion by the name of "Gensokyo D20" while I was browsing the internet on a whim, I asked Chat GPT about it as I couldn't find it VIA search and it clearly gives me info (Pic Rel), but it won't give me a link back to it, Anyone know where I can find the darn thing?
Addendum: This here is where I first heard of it: https://warosu.org/jp/thread/46041544
AI has false recollections just like humans do. It can be insightful to dig with it, but you'll never know where exactly the source(s) of the information come from, unfortunately. It's very good at extrapolating ideas and information which sometimes ends up reading like Edgar Allan Poe's Eureka.

Saw it mentioned on an alt chan, but tried to dig and couldn't find anything sadly hence dicking with it to begin with lol
I believe you're chasing a meme. There have been several Japanese inspired fantasy adaptations of various role playing games but I don't think there was ever a fully complete one that was ever released, even as a fan made, that was Gensokyo.
I have seen it mentioned several times around in chans but I've come to believe that it's like finger boxes or solutions to the system32 virus.

Found it (more accurately I asked on TG and someone did) bad news is the archive isn't complete.

Whoa. With a real link, I'll ask around. Nice find. Is the Monsters Word Document still archived somewhere? That's the biggest piece missing? There's this as well, but it's more of a wiki of the same name/author. https://web.archive.org/web/20100721081654/http://gensod20.host-ed.net/home.htm
And now I'm wondering: what are the differences between Anime D20, BESM D20, and Manga D20? Are they all rooted in the same SRD?

Looks like it might be 5E.
And this is some kind of translation of something: https://1d6chan.miraheze.org/wiki/Touhou_Danmaku_Yuugi_Flowers_RPG
And this is very impressive for one person's work: https://web.archive.org/web/20130821191322/http://wgs.no-ip.org/trpg.pdf
It's sad that your RPG wasn't seemingly archived, but I'm glad you brought this up because there's a lot of 2010s content for this franchise.

It seems Anime D20 is the BESM D20 SRD, Just like how the D&D 3.5 SRD isn't called D&D as the name's copyrighted.
Ah! that makes complete sense.
Necroing to ask a second question, where should I look for the missing rules that IA didn't save, asked around a fair bit but can't find them lol
