How to use MeMu Emulator?

Using the program is as easy as any other Android PC emulator like BlueStacks, SmartGaGa, Gameloop (Tencent Gaminng Buddy), Nox Player, etc.

Let’s see what’s exciting about MuMu emulator.

Home Screen

Initially, Home screen contains following apps by default:

• System Apps (includes Settings, File Manager, Gallery, Downloads, Play Store and Play Games)
• Browser
• App Center (MuMu app center)

Besides app icons, the bottom bar empowers the emulators with some awesome tools:

• Keyboard and Mouse Settings
• Gamepad Settings (ALT+1)
• Full Screen (ALT+3)
• Master Volume (CTRL+M)
• Select APK or XAPK or APKS from Hard Disk
• Screen Capture (ALT+Q)
• Open MuMu Shared Folder
• Shake the Device
• Add Virtual Location Information
• Rotate Screen / Device

Lets dig into details of each option of this wonderful Android emulator.

Keyboard and Mouse Settings (ALT+1)

Keymapping can be a tricky section for beginners. Some specific game dedicated emulators usually have predefined keymapping for that game exclusively, such as Gameloop (official PUBG Mobile and PUBG Lite emulator for PC).

Every Android emulator has its own keymapping which you can customize according to your favorite game. So, if you are not comfortable with default keymapping/keyboard and mouse settings, you can change it anytime.

Keyboard and mouse setting option exists on the bottom bar (just like taskbar in Windows). Click/tap on it and keymap panel will appear.

Mouse and keyboard settings may seem very complicated at first sight, but it is not that hard to configure, it’s rather quite easy to customize keymapping in MuMu player.

Lets explore keymap panel:

Click
Drag to location that needs to be clicked and set a key to replace clicks.

Direction
Drag to game direction wheel to control character movement, often controlled by WASD keys on keyboard.

Fire
Shooting game special, drag to fire button and click the left button to fire. Requires using with aim button.

Aim
Shooting game special, drag into the game to realize camera rotation and aiming, usually placed in the blank space to the left side of the game. Often uses ~ key to unlock aim/LB fire mode.

Gravity
Drag into the game to set keys to control gravity sensor.

Smart cast
Often used for skill button in Arena of Valor and other MOBA games, press and hold the key to move the cursor and select cast direction and target.

RB walk
Similar to League of Legends operation, drag to game direction wheel and right click to control character movement.

Camera
Drag into the game to set keys to control 360 degree camera rotation, often used in 3D games.

Besides keymapping, you can benefit from some supporting options:

• Plan Selection
  New Plan: Save custom keyboard plan key settings.
• Custom Keyboard
  Rename scheme
  Open scheme folder
  Copy scheme
• Advanced Settings
  Key hint (F12) – Show/hide set keys in game.
  Keyboard switch – Set keys are temporarily unavailable after closing.
  Key transparency – Set transparency level from 0 to 100% meter.

After setting keymap, you can Save settings or Clear changes you just made and then Exit from keyboard and mouse control settings.

If you directly press Exit button without saving keymap, a message box will appear saying:

Do you want to save the changes to keymap?

You can either choose to do not save or save changes and exit from keymap configuration to emulator main screen.

You may confuse with this Exit button whether it will close the key mapping or exit the MuMu emulator. So the answer is that this Exit button exits you from keyboard and mouse settings to main interface of emulator home screen, and it does not exit the whole program. Therefore, do not panic.

Gamepad Settings (ALT+3)

Gamepad settings allows you configure and customize gamepad/joystick/game controller keys and other settings.

You must connect the gamepad to computer in order to customize gamepad settings and keys. If you do not have a gamepad connected to PC, the following message will appear:

Tip
1. Please connect the gamepad before starting key settings.
2. If it still shows as not connected, please install driver and connect again.

At the time of testing, I do not have any gamepad, therefore I see the above message. You may explore this gamepad settings yourself.

Full Screen (F11)

Enjoy your favorite game and apps in full screen mode. This will turn your computer screen to full game station.

You can use Full Screen button or press F11 keyboard shortcut to activate full screen mode.

Master Volume (CTRL+M)

Adjust the master volume of the app player. A volume slider lets your adjust the main volume easily wherever you like it.

Some apps will temporarily mute when adjusting the volume.

Select APK or XAPK or APKS from Hard Disk

If you already have Android applications or games in form of APK, XAPK or APKS format, you can select these files to install directly. It means you do not have to sign in or use Google Play Store account for downloading and installing games or apps.

There are a few good alternative Android apps and games marketplaces which allow you download APK, XAPK or APKS files directly to computer or mobile phone, such as APK Pure, etc. This features comes handy especially for saving bandwidth and download time for repetitive installations.

Screen Capture (ALT+Q)

Capture the screenshot of games and apps using this option or ALT+Q keyboard shortcut keys. The captured screenshots are saved in MuMu Shared Folder (see the line below for details about MuMuSharedFolder).

Open MuMu Shared Folder

Shared Folder is used for storing MuMu files and stuff like screen captures (screenshots), etc.

You can click/tap on shared folder icon next to screen capture icon, and folder will open. Alternatively, you can find MuMuSharedFolder in Documents folder.

Shake the Device

The emulator/device will shake when you press Shake icon. The shaking movement is clearly visible and seems interesting too.

Some apps and games require device shaking for some specific function or activity. Such as you may see the notice like shake the device to do this or that or so.

Add Virtual Location Information

This feature is helpful especially when you want to change the location of device virtually. This may or may not help you play country restricted games or apps. However, the virtual location feature is worth experimenting.

Rotate Screen / Device

As the label suggests, clicking this icon will rotate the display from landscape to portrait or vice versa. Or more accurately, from tablet view to phone view and vice versa.
