Multi-MEmu Optimization for Multitasking

September 26, 2019

Sometimes users may want to reduce MEmu resource usage and run in the background. This post will illustrate how to use the least system resources when running individual or multiple instances (emulators) at the same time.

Batch Optimization:

Performance: Set to low to run as many instances as possible

Frame rate: Set to a lower value to reduce resource occupation

Render mode: Select the render mode that works best for you

Audio: Disable to reduce resource usage as much as possible

GPU memory optimization: turn on if the GPU memory is stressed

Individual Instance Optimization:

Engine settings

CPU: If you want to run as many emulators as possible, it is recommended to choose 1 CPU.

RAM: Depends on the real performance of your PC. You can set it with more flexibility.

Render mode: You need to watch the performance and the usage of system resources using Task Manager of Windows and decide which one is better for your machine.

GPU memory optimization: If the GPU memory of your machine is stressed when running multiple emulators, you can turn on this option, however, some render issues may occur.

2. Display settings

Resolution: Smaller resolution is recommended because it can reduce resource usage.

FPS: 30 FPS is recommended

Anti-flickering and Game capture: OFF

3. Storage settings

Cache Policy: High performance: Better performance but the emulator will be affected after bluescreen or losing power. Stability: A little slower but can avoid damage to bluescreen or losing power.

Disk management: If you want to have a fixed size of an emulator, use manual management.

4. Device settings

Disable audio to reduce the usage of the resource.
