Setup Guide

Download and install Bluestacks

Click in the search bar in the top right corner and search for the game you wish to play e.g. "Major Mayhem"

Install Games

Select the game you wish to install and then press "install"

This will then divert you to the Google Play Store where you can download the game directly so again press "Install"

Once completed you can close the tab using the little X by the side of it

To add these games you select "System Apps" from the "My Games" library

Select "Media Manager"

Select "Import from Windows" in the bottom left corner and simply select your APK from the Windows File Explorer window

The APK file will be imported

Press Install

The game will then be added to your library

Launching Games

Double click the game to load it

F11 key toggles full screen

It is also recommended to lock your cursor to the game window, to do this click on this button on the right hand menu. This stops you accidentally bringing up the options when playing a game

Lock screen button

Unlock the cursor by pressing Escape

Hide Cursor

It's possible to hide the cursor using Nomousy. An example of how to use it is at the Nomousy page.

Scripts

You can use the following AHK script to auto-hide the mouse and launch a game full screen after adjusting the mouse type and installing Nomousy.

You need to copy the shortcuts that Bluestacks creates on your desktop to a folder to launch them from. (Thanks to Codeine/Intoshadows for the script)
