Bandicam Forum

Hello! I have this issue with recently released emulators. Apparently, bandicam won't hook it's game recording mode onto emulators like Nox Emulator, Dolphin, or Desmume. I tried checking Windows Apps in the settings, and making sure everything else was checked, but it still doesn't hook. I've noticed also that it's failing to hook only on these recently created emulators, not the older versions of them. I think that it has something to do with the emulator's or Visual Studio's programming, causing incompatibility with bandicam. It's also happening with recently updated games that had a mass overhaul, like Final Fantasy XIV: Shadowbringers.

I'm guessing you guys need to update your bandicam to support this change?

I will just leave a message here to find out the answer.

Hello,

To record Android, please use BlueStacks.
Bandicam allows you to capture gameplay directly on BlueStacks 5.
BlueStacks is a free Android emulator that allows you to run Android applications on Windows and Mac OS PCs.

Thank you.

Blue stacks seems to have gone through an update too or something, cause now you can't hook onto bluestacks.

You also can't hook to "google play games" games with game recording mode to record games, only screen recording.

Various steam games also suffer this issue.

I can't say for certain, but this hooking problem was back in 4.x or even before, and started to occur after an update.

Hello bnthomason,

We have tested and found that there is no hooking issues with Bandicam 6.2.1 and Bluestacks X.
Please refer to the following page and try again.

Thank you.

Hello! Resurrecting this old thread.

This issue isn't just pertaining to android emulators. Apparently, the latest Cemu stable and development builds are also failing to hook (Wii U emulator). Other emulators of various kinds are failing to hook as well. They are not UWP, so I don't think that's the issue, I tried checking it and unchecking it but it didn't fix the issue.

This problem has been persistant for a long time. Any fix on the way?

EDIT: Hooking with OPENGL in cemu fixed the issue, but issue persists with Vulkan in cemu

Hello bnthomason,

If the Game Recording Mode does not work, please use the Specific Window recording instead.
