Emulator slow
Monkey Targets Forums/Android/Emulator slow

| Hi, this isn't specifically to do with Monkey, but is the windows emulator for android much slower than it used to be? I had it running a while back and I do not remember it being so slow? Just me? Ta |

| I think it's always been slow, although I did fire it up last night and noticed the speed issues myself. As long as it runs the code at a reasonable testing level then it's fine, you just need to make sure it doesn't crash and do proper gameplay testing on an actual device I guess. |

| It is ridiculously slow. Always has been. You can look into running Android in a VM.. it runs much quicker in a VM, and far more suitable for testing. There are projects around that allow you to set up how you will use the keyboard/mouse to emulate the touch screen and buttons. |

| Thanks for the responses :) I'll have to give the VM idea a go, I didn't consider that! I probably should have tried actually plugging my phone in too and testing it on that. Glad to hear im not the only one who has noticed it was slow. |

| I think it got even slower with the latest SDK. |
