## Overview LDPlayer 9 is built on Android 9 (Pie) and runs both 32-bit and 64-bit Android apps. This page summarizes what the publisher says is new, lists the published system requirements, and explains how to install LDPlayer 9. The performance claims below come from the publisher. We have not measured them.
## Verify After setup, open LDPlayer 9 from its desktop icon. The program should start and show the emulator window.
## What the publisher says is new
- Android base: LDPlayer 9 uses Android 9 with a 64-bit runtime. The publisher says it runs 64-bit and 32-bit apps, so you do not need a separate emulator for each.
- Startup and frame rate: The publisher says the emulator starts and responds faster than earlier versions, and that it can run 3A games more smoothly on lower-end PCs.
- Resource use: The publisher says LDPlayer 9 combines strengths from LDPlayer 3 and LDPlayer 4 and uses less memory and CPU, which may allow more instances at the same time.
- Graphics: The publisher says the rendering changes reduce blurred images, low-quality textures, and red-dot artifacts.
- Hyper-V: According to the publisher, LDPlayer 9 works with Hyper-V enabled. Earlier versions could crash in that setup.

- For feedback or problems, use the support options on the official LDPlayer website.
## Common mistakes
- Running an installer from a site you do not recognize. Start from the LDPlayer website.

- Skipping the disk space check. The published minimum is 36 GB of free space. Check the drive you install to.
