Capture

Local is 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 runs 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.
