Ken, I walked away and it started after half hour the first time so maybe you can wait. The commented log below shows 6 Minutes to first Screen of Event Boss as long as SDK agrees with Target API 8 reset to 10. I have 1.5 GHz 2 GB ram on Intel Core Solo Circa 2006 running 10.6 because 10.7 not supported. It's like XP versus Windows 7 maybe. If you have the API 8 target SDK installed it should work. Also lately I am working in RUN menu which has settings & RUN CONFIGURATIONS. I can RUN the selected SDK API 15 Android 4.0.3 and CLOSE emulator window TSSG_2012-Indigo separately. The build was done with API set to 10 on API 15 ! I also have added past releases under HELP menu INSTALL SOFTWARE. I learned to avoid other devices like Droid & Razor time wasting installations and just use basic Android SDK installations. I suspect I could get 2.x with the TARGET API 8 working by installing the right SDK for that version. It should work the same on all operating systems. The biggest problem may be the changes to ownership for JAVA & Oracle vs Android / Google court cases and if and where work has been done. Hope this helps. I am also trying an install of faster vbox with 2.3.3. I can't get the display to the right dimensions but that wouldn't affect EVENT BOSS.
