Authorized MA3 Dealer? Traditional Chinese version?

James · 07-06-2009, 08:03 AM

Found this website, http://ec.softking.com.tw/sale/index.asp?id=5224

and surprised that they sell download version of MA3 and it states the interface is traditional chinese, I wonder is this website the authorized MA dealer from Prolific?

Its version is Marine Aquarium 魚我同樂 T602.3.0.1925 繁體中文版

And it's chinese name meaning "Joy with Fish"

The website also provided the supplier's official website:http://www.nextoffice.net
This is its download link:http://ftp.isu.edu.tw/pub/Windows/so...en/m/MA_on.exe

This is the package box

It looks like a Hong Kong dealer....

Jim, maybe you can pass this to Prolific to make sure.

That's our Chinese partner.

I guess I could download / install and answer my own question... but.. Will our "English" key work.. and are the instructions in Chinese?

No, your English Key will not work with the Chinese version.

I'm not sure why you'd want to download it. It's just the same version as the one on SereneScreen.com, but with Chinese text.

Neat, the joyful fish version.

Right, glade to hear it's the authorized dealer

I've downloaded and try installed it, it simply overwrite my current Beta10d to Beta10a without asking my keycode, so it works on my English keycode, or it won't check the keycode again if my registry already had me as legal version flag on? dunno....

They got PDF instruction manual, quite detail in fact, and everything is in Chinese, even the setting control panel GUI(include all menu like fish picker, music list, logo etc etc..) and however, this is a Hong Kong company, not Taiwan company.

The downloaded ZIP got both English and Chinese installer, but both are Beta10a, not worm on the coral.

After all, this official Chinese version is now become one of my collectible MA versions, I've been collect each version of MA, even Beta series....

I provided them with the latest version. I don't know why they went with an earlier one.
