• Restart the emulator to apply changes.

When you install MEmu Emulator, the following folders are created on Windows Computer which are shared with the Android on MEmu.
C:\Users\jk\Downloads\MEmu Download

Files in the folders above are visible to Android from MEmu Emulator.

This completes the installation of MEmu Emulator.

2) Install PUBG game on the MEmu Emulator

There are two ways we can think of here.
a) Install PUBG by downloading directly from Google Play
b) Install PUBG by  transferring an existing APK and files from Android Phone

Let's see both steps one by one..

a) Install PUBG by downloading directly from Google Play

• Launch the MEmu Emulator
• Locate Google Play App
• You may be requried to sign in to Google Play with a Google Account.
• Search for PUBG Mobile

The game shall be installed on the MEmu Emulator and you can start playing.

b) Install PUBG by  transferring an existing APK and files from Android Phone

If you have an existing PUBG game on Android Phone, you can transfer the APK and files to MEmu Emulator and play from it.

To get the APK of the PUBG game on Android Phone, we need app sharer. There are many such apps on Google Play. If you do not have one already installed on the Android phone, find one on Google play and install. Some app sharing apps on Google Play you can use:

• App Sharer
• MyAppSharer
• APK Share
• Share App

Or click on this link to find app sharer apps on Google Play.

After you have install the APK share app on the Android Phone, use it to extract the APK.

• Open your app sharer app from Android Phone.
• Search for PUBG game
• Select it and use the options available on the app to save APK to phone.
• Note the folder where the APK is being saved.

Move PUBG apk and supporting files from the Android phone to Computer

To move files from Android phone to computer, we can do it in various ways - via USB cable, using  FTP service of advanced File Managers like ES FILE Manager etc. For simplicity, we will go with USB Cable.

• Connect the Android Phone to computer with a USB cable.
• Choose File Transfer in USB settings
• Open Windows Explorer on the computer and navigate to the phone's internal storage
• In the Phone's Internal Storage, locate the directory where the PUBG apk was previously saved.
• Copy the PUBG apk file from the Android Phone Internal Storage to C:\Users\jk\Downloads\MEmu Download
• Go back to the phone's internal storage on Windows Explorer. Navigate to Internal Storage > Android > Obb and find “com.tencent.ig” folder
• Copy “com.tencent.ig” folder to C:\Users\jk\Downloads\MEmu Download
• Disconnect the USB cable from the computer.

Now that the APK and the requried files are transferred to the Android on MEmu Emulator, we can start installation.

• Open MEmu Emulator if not already open.
• Open the File Manager available or you can also install file managers such as ES File Manager.
• Navigate to Download folder
• You should be able to see the PUBG apk and the “com.tencent.ig” folder copied from the Android phone earlier.
• Click on the PUBG apk to install.
• After the installation of PUBG is completed, do not run or open the app yet.
• Now go back to the File Explorer at Download folder, copy the “com.tencent.ig” folder
• (You would need to long press or long click for copy menu to appear).
• After the folder is copied, navigate to Internal Storage > Android > Obb and paste.
• The folder should now be at: Internal Storage > Android > Obb > com.tencent.ig.
