China DOS Union

My system is Windows 2000, IE 6.0 SP1, DX 9.0C, BIOS is AMI BIOS. After installing MapleStory, when starting the game, the following dialog box appears and I can't play. What's wrong?

Maybe the DX version is too high, so the game can't recognize it.

Hehe, the first time I heard that a game needs a low-version DirectX, it's really strange. Isn't the high-version DX downward compatible? If the owner uses an internal code converter like Antarctic Star to convert the garbled code of that prompt, they will know what it says.

It should not be DX. I sent to other machines all are 9.0C, and the adventure island plays without problems. How to convert that garbled code prompted by the inner code converters such as Antarctic Star? It is not text!

How could the prompt in the dialog box not be text? Anyway, it's not a bitmap.

Hehehehe, this little silly egg...
Remember how someone told him last time: Install all the games there, and it will be fine.
Hehehehe...

I have encountered this too. Only after reinstalling the system can I play.

Reinstalled the system several times, but still can't play MapleStory, and can't play Dance Dance Revolution either!

The computer was just assembled. After assembling, it didn't start up MapleStory and Dance Dance Revolution!

When I first saw the name "冒险岛", I thought it was referring to the old video game "Adventure Island". Later, I saw the English title in the window above and realized it was actually talking about the fun MapleStory game. It's surprisingly translated as "冒险岛". Well, I think its other Chinese translation "Maple Valley" is much better.

Don't talk anymore. Before I reinstalled, it was like this.
MapleStory, O2Jam, Eternal Eden, Warcraft, StarCraft, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, PopKart, ...............
Even Tank War doesn't work, 5555555555555

So it turns out this is an online game, I don't play it.

This game is called MapleStory, not MapleStory Online. It is stated in the "Frequently Asked Questions" on the official website of the game that even if DirectX is above 8.1, if the graphics card does not support the 3D engine, this prompt will appear. From this, it can be seen that the graphics card of the original poster is not up to standard.

I've changed several graphics cards but still can't play! There's no way, so I changed to an integrated motherboard, and surprisingly it can play. It's frustrating! It seems it's the motherboard's problem, but why is that?

Check the graphics card settings in the original motherboard BIOS to see if AGP 4x or 8x is disabled.
