The main problem is, PlayDRM, which DLSite uses, authenticates on-line via servers so your PC/Account specifically runs it. Any others will NOT work unless the same code can be used (which is something even I am not sure of) so right now, trying to bypass it means capturing some sort of "true" 16 digit code that everytime the check/log-in comes up, it directly hooks into that code and does NOT verify to the server. Which is pretty hard, and unlike other digital code requirements/checks that are off-line, they are easier to bypass since its usually some kind of algorithm or encryption than can be mimicked

Anti piracy software. Meant to make it so only people who have purchased the software legitimately can access the game. It is a controversial topic since DRM can cause lag and malfunctions to the product even to those who purchased it legitimately. Though I will say based on my own experience that these claims are often greatly exaggerated by the pro piracy crowd.
I know that for triple A games, DRM is often so hard to crack that it can take long time for a game to become available for for others online despite being huge targets. I don't know if DRM for small indie games like this has the same level of protection.

There's a little bit of info on playdrm though I don't know how much of it can help people that are more technologically inclined on cracking this game:
You must be registered to see the links
So I found out that key codes from those who bought the game DO work more than once, but up to how many, I am not sure. Although I read somewhere that it may possibly work up to 5 times on 5 different devices. Do not even ask, I have promised the buyer that the code will only be used on my "copy" obtained elsewhere, and that I will not be sharing it online. Now my objective is to possibly remove the DRM entirely instead of trying to bypass it, simply because it will be impossible to capture "real" codes from the server when its just a confirmation/callback from the host PC/client to an authentication server.

There's a cracking thread where playdrm is regularly cracked and we've had randomo saints do drive-by cracks, point being this is not a new DRM nor an especially good one it seems. We just need to wait for someone who knows how already to crack it.
Probably best not to kill yourself reinventing the wheel.
It would be helpful if you can point me into that thread, but for now I will keep searching if we can just bypass PlayDRM itself or if there are alternate routes.
anyone know whats the code to activate the game?
i cant purchase any points in dlsite. I dont have any of the purchase options mentioned there...
No, the original game is uncensored, but because it's being sold on DLsite, it has to comply with Japanese law, which requires censorship.

Okay but it says this version is censored in the page 1 post.. why would a pirate site use the censored version if there was an uncen'd one somewhere?
Not sure if its an issue on my end, or with the registry file, but i cannot import it. i get an "Error while accessing the registry" (loosely translated, might be worded differently in english)
But this is a register for your user, for example, mine has a different ID and I can’t import. Doing the same thing under my ID does not give results
The registry path in the file doesn't match yours. You need to manually edit the path in the file copying what you can find in regedit. It doesn't work anyway.
changing the "USERS" part in the file to "CURRENT_USER" made it register, but yeah, it doesnt work for bypassing DRM.
I will be back to test this further. I am currently installing a virtual machine to run Win10 to go test it more by myself with faster results
