Capture

Local

The simplest option. MANIA detects and captures MapleStory on the same PC automatically. Recommended for private servers and MapleStory N since the detection risk is low.

Remote

Run MANIA and MapleStory on separate machines, so the game’s anti-cheat has no way to detect it. Takes a bit more setup, but recommended for official servers such as GMS and KMS.

Setup	PCs Required	PCs Occupied
Local	1	1
GeForce NOW	1	1
Remote + Software Input	2	2
Remote + Hardware Input	2	1

For local and remote with software input, the MapleStory window must stay focused. Hardware input removes the focus requirement, freeing up your PC entirely.

Everything runs on one PC. MANIA finds and captures MapleStory automatically. You may need to set Settings → MapleStory Version → Classic if you are on an old school server.Resolution:

Set MapleStory to 1366x768 (or 1920x1080 with UI → Ideal Ratio).
Old school servers use 1280x720 instead.

MANIA and MapleStory run on separate machines. Pick your setup:

GeForce NOW
Remote Desktop Software
Capture Card

Stream MapleStory from GeForce NOW and capture it on your PC. Only requires 1 PC and is easy to set up, but costs ~$10/mo with a 100h/month limit.

Hardware input is not compatible with GFN — it requires a physical USB connection to the game PC, and GFN runs in the cloud.

Goal: Make the remote game appear in a window as if running locally, with no stretching or borders. Choose either 1366x768 or 1920x1080 and make sure all resolutions match.
