Instead, the guest RAM is virtualized by the hypervisor (HAXM) using a buffer (usually 1.5GB) allocated by the Android Emulator (or QEMU) process. As you know, Android runs in a virtual machine as a guest OS, and therefore cannot see the 16GB of RAM in your host system. These features are available on all Core i-3/5/7 CPUs, but not on older models like Core 2 Duo.ĮPT is crucial for memory virtualization performance. But it does point out the fact that your CPU (Core 2 Duo) lacks two hardware virtualization features, namely Extended Page Tables (EPT) and Unrestricted Guest (UG). The message you quoted (or the entire emulator.log) is from Android Emulator (which is an application/process) instead of HAXM (which is a kernel extension), and is not directly related to the slowness you are experiencing. MacOS 10.13.3, MacBook mid 2010, Core 2 Duo 2.4GHz, 16GB RAM, 500GB SSDĮDIT: it doesn't work on Win 10 Unfortunately, HAXM won't work well on your 2010 MacBook. Is there some debug mode in HAXM? Should I try to build locally on my computer some custom build for debugging purposes? How can I install built intelhaxm.kext, do I need to package it to. Is this message coming from HAXM? How can I be sure that bug is or is not in HAXM? Any hint where to look? Full log attached. We will address this in a future release.Įmulator: CPU Acceleration status: HAXM version 7.0.0 (4) is installed and usable. A CPU with EPT + UG features is currently needed.

Any idea how to proceed and diagnose problems with HAXM? it takes hours to boot and CPU usage is close to 100% all the time. I run Android emulator (latest Android development tools) with HAXM 7.0.0 and it looks like HAXM acceleration is not working since emulator boots really slowly e.g.
