Here's some clients and patchers I got from the web archive and other sources.
Clients are: GMS v24b, v2, v15, v24. Unfortunately I only have the exe, no Data.wz, but Data didn't change too much in that era so game files from other versions should work.
The patchers are somewhat useless as long as we don't have the respective base version to patch from, or other patch files that can be chained.

Unfortunately, this one is v34, and not v35.Ayy wow thanks Hendi48 and Kimberly, was missing 24 (beta close enough) and 33.I backed up all the GMS patchers, patches, setups and localhosts I could find and have it both in a hard drive and online in my google drive as a backup. GMS setups now is is only missing 1, 2, 4-7, 9-11, 13-21, 25-27, 31, 36. The v2 & v15 exe is also much appreciated.
Appreciate you and everyone who archived MS.
Also noticed that you marked v35 as missing. Idk where I downloaded it from, thought it was from you. Now I'm unsure if it is really v35, I apparently downloaded it in October 2019. Anyways here's a download link:You must be registered to see links
Oh ok, I really should look through everything I download instead of just datahoarding everything, appreciate it!Unfortunately, this one is v34, and not v35.
I've found a burned CD with MapleStory setup from from a long time ago, how do i get the version of this setup?
Ended up getting in contact with @palpebrite and it's confirmed he found quite an old version. Version v0.07 GMS. While it's very close to a version we already had (v0.08) it's again 1 step closer to completing every single GMS pre-bb version.
Added to archive as well as OP. Thank you so much for your contribution!
EVEN BURNED CD's ARE VERY USEFUL. It's about the setup, not the CD. If you ever burned setups on your CD's back in the day due to your slow internet please get in touch! These are as important!!!
This week I have spent time archiving every single steam GMS version
Since you won't be uploading any (understandable), can you share how to download them? Perhaps PM me?
Sticking them on archive.org would be helpful.
This week I have spent time archiving every single steam GMS version
I am not done yet. But basically, data files will be the same. However, unlike using an installer, steam had minor fixes distributed still as well. For example, if I were to use the 1.60 GMS installer, I would only have .exe version 1.60.1. Wherewith steam I can also get 1.60.2 and 1.60.3 which probably is the same version but with hotfixes applied to them, so less buggy.
Also, installers stop at v1.83, so getting older versions after that will be by steam only, seeing they allow you (with workarounds) to get earlier patches. I am aware the Nexon launcher or whatever is still a thing too, but I lack interest on modern versions to get both versions, and they will probably be the same at that point anyway.
I don't think I will be uploading anything due to the insane size GMS becomes, but if you need a special version I can upload it.
