Hello Digit, Thanks for your answer, and you are right: I ran on a CPU with 1 GHz and 500 MB RAM. However I fail to find any system requirements related to CPU and RAM in the documentation "System and Software Requirements". I only complied to the Windows XP requirement. Perhaps it would be an idea to state hardware requirements as well?
Anything I can do to run the emulator on a 1 GHz CPU with 500 MB RAM? Allow longer first-boot time?
