how to remove softdenchi

[Vnlover1]

How do you guys remove the softdenchi drm from vn's on DMM. I've tried the method with the bin file but that didn't seem to work. Thank you in advance

You can't, if you are buying from them.  The companies who put the games on DMM wanted the drm, so those who buy the games have to live with it.

I agree that softdenchi is way too intrusive for a drm though, and I had to stop it from sending random data packets to its servers even when I wasn't playing the games it was supposedly protecting.  Easily my least-favorite drm.  Pretty sure it doubles as a spyware corporation.  That's the primary reason I never buy anything from DMM anymore... I went back to buying physical only for games only hosted on DMM.

Edit: Also, I don't advise you resort to using cracks, as most of the cracks for visual novels produced today are made by the same few groups of Chinese hackers who tack malware onto them.  Don't be surprised if your identity gets stolen or you end up having to completely reformat your computer to get rid of bitcoin miners.

By this do you mean cracks for Japanese-only vns or English vns as well? Just curious, since I believe that most but not every VN is released DRM-free in English nowadays, specially with Jast.

Talking about JVNs.  As far as I know, the in-english games aren't being treated this way, but then, I either buy or don't bother with English versions, so it isn't relevant to me.  

Not all cracks are infected, but the percentage is high enough that isn't worth the risk to use them, even if you just want to unlock a game that runs too heavily because of the drm (another issue softdenchi causes, as I once saw it using half a gig of RAM).  I had to reformat one of my PCs after cracking a few games I bought off of DMM three years ago, because the bitcoin miners included in the package were occupying most of my RAM and my graphics card's capacity.
