Android Emulator - slow slow slow

[AMateus]

Hi,

For those who work with the android emulator from the sdk, you know how desperately slow it is.

I could have found out the solution on this topic: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1554099/slow-android-emulator

Relevant information:

Install VirtualBox (http://www.virtualbox.org/).
Download iso-file that you need (http://code.google.com/p/android-x86/downloads/list)
Create a virtual machine Linux 2.6/Other Linux, 512 Mb RAM, HD 2 Gb. Network: PCnet-Fast III, attached to NAT. You can also use bridged adapter, but you need a DHCP server in your environment.
Install Android x86 (http://www.android-x86.org/) on the emulator, run it.
Check the Virtual Machine IP
Run cmd on your XP, change dir to your Android tools dir, type adb connect <virtual_machine_IP>

Going to check this with VMWare. and I will give feedback

Regards,
António

The emulator can't also handle coloured lines too...

Android x68 can run GLBasic code? I'm compiling for ARM IIRC.

Yes, it does.

so - am I producing x86 code too? That would be pretty awesome.
