    I noticed there were multiple issues with the current VMware guides, so I made this to simplify juggling and problem solving between each guide.
    This works as of April 14,2020.

    Downloading and setting up VMware.
    First guide to follow is one of our Administrator's, Tim.
    https://royals.ms/forum/threads/how...graphical-glitches-closing-your-client.16643/

    Follow this guide up until the Personalized VM section. You will follow this section too, although I would suggest at least 1gb ram. 512mb has caused my MapleRoyals installer to crash.
    We will stop right after the second step of Configuring Windows. Everything after is outdated, and will causes issues with either downloading, or error codes.

    Installing a Working Browser
    Next step is to download Firefox, as the default Internet Explorer is denied from by the MapleRoyals website.
    The original base Firefox browser will not download properly because of using Internet Explorer. The workaround is to download another version of Firefox; in this case, Firefox Beta.
    Within VMWare, open up Internet Explorer and go to https://www.mozilla.org/en-CA/firefox/all , and click on FireFox beta.
    If the link is broken in the future, simply google Download Firefox Beta.

    Now scroll down to preferred language (English in this case), and download the 32-bit version.

    Install it however you want. Settings do not matter.
    From here, you can continue onto the second guide.

    VMWare Tools and MapleRoyals install
    We will move onto the second guide that solves the next issue. Which is Error code: -2147467259 unspecified Error.
    Go to this thread https://royals.ms/forum/threads/2020-supplemental-vmware-guide-for-bossing-in-windows-xp.151364 and follow it starting from the yellow line in spoiler.
    Note: We already have a working Mozilla Firefox, so you can skip that step.

    Edit:
    Original guide write seems to have deleted his thread.
    Follow the guide in the screenshot. Here is the link for download that was previously in it. https://packages.vmware.com/tools/esx/6.0/windows/

    If you have issues downloading MapleRoyals due to Google Drive exceeding downloading limit, log into your Google account and you can download it fine.
    Once you are done the second guide, VMWare and MapleRoyals should boot up with no issues.


    Credits to both Tim and VoiceOver. I am only compiling both guides together, and fixing one issue.

    Well, apparently it won't be needed anymore once the new update comes out this week.

    Rip. I struggled helping 7-10 people set it up the past week, and made this to simplify it.
    Glad it'll be fixed either way.

    VMWare is not necessary anymore. It was fixed around April 2020.

    Not too sure. I haven't played MapleRoyals for a good 4+ months. Last I played, HT was the only one with issues, and the sound file was the solution.

    What security settings are preventing you from downloading firefox? With VMWare, there shouldn't be any settings since it's a base WindowsXP that's being used in the sandbox.

    The first issue for you where most websites are not visible or blocked. Most likely it has to do with some form of censorship. It could be your internet provider, or if you're in public wifi it can happen, or even possibly China's censorship (I'm unsure, I do not live in China, but there is a large chinese community on the server). I cannot solve this for you, as it is directly related to your internet provider.

    Second, If the security warning is the same as this one in the screenshot below, you can click save or run on it. Internet Explorer just names the dialog box poorly.

    If that does not work, here is a direct link to the download. Find your way through the forums to here within VMWare to download it.
    I'd upload the set-up file, but it's too large for me to upload here.

    I'll defo try that oout if I need it

    for now though replacing sound files did the trick no dc at HT

    pretty sweet

    But I'll just keep those sound files in check if I do HT since it removes all monster sound effects

    europe btw, withouth vmware no issues at all surfing the web. but it's so limited with windows exp on wmware most sites not visible or blocked for some reason.
