In some tutorials, about cheating android game in bluestacks, advises to enable "MEM_MAPPED" memory region option.

I'm really wondering why i need to enable "MEM_MAPPED" memory region option in bluestacks.

If anyone know, Please give me an answer.

Thank you ...[/u]

mem_mapped memory regions are regions that point to shared memory between processes or device memory like a file on a disk, or memory in the gpu

Normal games don't tend to store useful data in those regions, so it's skipped by default.

Emulators do sometimes use mem_mapped memory for emulating the memory of the emulated system

In case of bluestacks it depends on what you're doing. If you're scanning physical memory, then enabling mem_mapped is completly useless and has absolutely no effect on the results

Dark Byte,
Thank you for your detailed explanation.

Following is based on my understanding about your explanation.

In bluestacks, Because physical memory scan scans all memory in the system, MEM_MAPPED option does not affect. but, when a process's memory was scanned, shared memory does not reside in process memory space. So, it is required to enable kernel debugging and MEM_MAPPED options.

Is it right ?
