I saw that Ben's emulator launched so fast, any special setting for it?

I mean: did you increased the memory of the emulator? or something like that?

Hi Hector

I think he uses video editing to fast skip loading or something like that.

Yep! You all don't want to watch me wait for the emulator to load. It's decent on my Macbook Pro, but still pretty slow. I use Genymotion on a regular basis. Check out the stage I recorded about it if you're interested! I highly recommend it.

Aha, two Ben answered my question~. Thanks a lot, I know that the video was edited to skip the loading process, it's just ~~ looks so smoothly, like you didn't do anything on it. You must been very good at movie clip editing. Yes I am using GenyMotion, so cool !!
