Multi-Instance on Emulator | How to Use Multi-instance Manager

Most Android emulators support multi-player function and LDPlayer is no exception. "LDMultiplayer" built in LDPlayer can enable you to launch multiple instances of LDPlayer, log in several accounts and play mobile games with multiple choices on one big screen on PC. For example, if you are playing mobile Gacha games on PC, you can use the LDMultiplayer tool and Synchronizer tool on LDPlayer to help you manage your game accounts. The following will introduce how to use LDMultiplayer properly.

How LDMultiplayer Works

LDMultiPlayer is like a multi-instance manager. You can create new instances of LDPlayer or clone the main instance of LDPlayer with just a few clicks. On the main window, you can manage all your created instances, including backup/restoration, respective settings, removal, etc. LDMultiPlayer also comes with advanced settings integrated into the "Optimization"  button for each instance. There is no limit on the number of instances, as long as your computer is powerful enough.

 

How to Enable LDMultiplayer on LDPlayer

Start

When you click on the "Start" button, you start a specific instance. Please note that you can't manage Backup/Restore, Settings, Remove and "Create desktop shortcut" when LDPlayer is running. Besides, the "Start" button will be changed to "Close" if an instance is running.

Backup/Restore

The corresponding emulator can be backed up or restored. Using the Backup/restore function, you can copy the emulator to another computer. In addition, regularly backing up the emulator can prevent loss of important information resulting from emulator errors and inability to start the emulator.

The details of them are as follows:

1. Multi-play optimization

When you use this function, you can adjust the FPS for your instances and disable audio to reduce CPU usage. If you want to open more instances, we suggest you turn down the FPS. Even though higher FPS will provide more stunning gaming experience on LDPlayer, your instances will occupy more PC's hardware resources and it's easier to reach the limit.

 

2. Memory optimization

If you would like to create more memory for your new instances, please check the Memory Optimization to use less memory and graphics memory so that you can start as many instances as you want.

 

3. Virtual disk mode

You can select the option of High speed if your hard disk is not SSD. But if your disk is SSD, we recommend you to select the option of "Stable" because this mode can reduce the risk of file damage. Furthermore, the last option "New with smaller disk" will help you use less disk space for multiple instances.

 

4. Auto-align settings

When the option of the Spread align is selected, the instances will be spread on your screen. If you want to fill the window, please select the option "Auto resize a window, filling the screen". Meanwhile, if you select the option "Overlay align", your instances will be showed diagonally and you can adjust window row number.

 

5. Batch operations

You can change interval seconds of starting instances by this function. Also, the quantity of creating new instances and cloning old instances by batch processing can be changed.

 

6. Other settings

All your window positions of instances can be recorded by checking this checkbox. For example, if you want LDPlayer to appear in the upper-left corner of your screen, all you have to do is drag LDPlayer to the upper-left corner of your screen and check this checkbox. Next time you open LDPlayer, it'll just be the same position.

 

After we made a basic introduction for LDMultiplayer, We believe that you can use those functions properly to manage your multiple instances. Multi-instance is a very important and useful feature loaded on an Android emulator and LDPlayer just makes it simple to use.
