I have i7 with 16gb. B4A runs fine and emulator also works fine.

Then I saw 'recommended' to install emulator in sdk list. I installed it.
Now emulator not starting.
Did restart ADB server and restart emulator.

Got below error message

After adb restart, same error message.

Can anyone understand the error message and guide me on that ?

Out of curiosity , I fed your initial post to Copilot and recieved quite a bit of suggested fixes / tips.

I dont get involved with Emulators so unsure if suggested fixes are of any use.

Are you able to do the same ? . worth a try.

Promp : Could you look at this link and offer any suggestions ...https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/emulator-not-starting-after-install-new-version-of-it.170993/post-1046430

The output was quite extensive , so not posting result unless requested.

How do you delete the emulator?
12. Reinstall
If the emulator fail to start, delete the folder e.g android-34 inside C:\SDK\system-images
Open B4A SDK Manager, download the new emulator image.
Once finished download, create a new emulator from B4A AVD Manager.
