Gameloop (formerly Tencent Gaming Buddy) is the official Android emulator for PUBG Mobile, developed by Tencent.
Unlike other emulators, Gameloop is whitelisted by PUBG Mobile’s anti-cheat system — meaning it is not banned when used normally. However, players are matched only with other emulator users unless they use certain tricks.
Key fact: PUBG Mobile separates matchmaking by input method:
- Touchscreen players (mobile)
- Emulator players (Gameloop, etc.)
- Controller players
When PUBG Mobile detects an emulator, it flags the session accordingly.
Intercept API calls used by PUBG Mobile to query environment: Gameloop Pubg Emulator Detected Bypass
| API | Purpose | Bypass Method |
|-----|---------|----------------|
| GetSystemFirmwareTable | Detect BIOS/Virtualization | Return real hardware values |
| NtQuerySystemInformation | System info | Filter out emulator artifacts |
| GetAdaptersInfo | Network MAC | Spoof real MAC address |
Example (Frida script snippet – conceptual):
Interceptor.attach(Module.findExportByName("kernel32.dll", "GetSystemInfo"),
onLeave(retval)
var sysInfo = ptr(retval);
sysInfo.add(0x8).writeU32(4); // dwNumberOfProcessors = 4
);
As of the current update (Global Version 3.5+), there is no consistent, safe, and public bypass. Key fact: PUBG Mobile separates matchmaking by input
Here is the cold truth: Tencent actively patches any method that gains popularity. The ACE anti-cheat receives weekly updates. If a bypass video gets 50,000 views on YouTube, expect it to be patched within 48 hours.
However, some advanced (but high-risk) techniques still exist in private forums. These are not recommended, but for educational purposes, here is what they involve:
Editing Gameloop’s configuration files (e.g., emu.ini) to change device model, IMEI, fingerprint, and remove QEMU flags. 4. Common “Bypass” Methods (Informational Only)
The information provided in this report is for educational and security research purposes only. Using software to bypass anti-cheat mechanisms in online games violates Terms of Service (ToS) and End User License Agreements (EULAs). This can lead to permanent account bans, hardware ID (HWID) bans, and potential legal action from game developers. We do not condone cheating or disrupting the gameplay experience of others.
⚠️ Warning: These methods violate PUBG Mobile’s Terms of Service and can result in account bans (temporary or permanent).
