Warning: Simulators fail to boot in VMWare Player 5.0

Options

‎08-24-2012 03:15 PM

We've recently discovered that our BlackBerry PlayBook and BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha simulators fail to boot in VMWare Player 5.0.  We are working a fixes as we speak.  In the mean time avoid this upgrade to continue using these simulators.

I got them to work by choosing the 'safe' skins during boot time.

Good news is that the latest 10.0.09 BB10 simulator now works in Player 5.0.

Are you sure it takes awhile the first time you boot up (black screen) but then pops in to existance.

 

I'm running it on Win8 (moderate speed laptop) but that shouldn't make a difference.

Idem with VMWare 4. Now I'm reinstalled 5, but I see this: http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/Cascades-Development/BB10-Simulator-freeze-on-a-black-screen/...

Simulator works here with the latest VMware version 5.0.0-812388. It takes a while to startup even with a fast PC.

This issue has been resolved in the new BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha simulator released last week.
