Hi Ben Jakuben! Does genymotion run on mac osx 32 bit? I only see the 64bit version only at the genymotion website yet my macbook pro is 32bit.

Hi Michael,

you have to have Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) installed (it supports IA-32 „Intel Architecture 32-Bit“). You might also want to have a look at the Genymotion Operating System requirements

Hi Holger!

i am currently running mountain lion. Let me check out the link you've have shared and see how to go about it.

Thanks!

But OS X Mountain Lion is a full 64-bit operating system, with the kernel and extensions in 64-bit. I thought you have got older 32Bit Hardware?

Its funny i didn't know that man!

Yup, surprise - your MBP might be more advanced than you think it is :)

Did you ever had a look at "About this Mac" to determine the specs just to be sure?

To be honest. No! Sound weird yet I have used this MBP for 2years now.

By the way, I am done installing the Genymotion emulator. I wonder why google isn't improving its default suck loading emulator to something as fast at loading and physical like Genymotion.

"I wonder why google isn't improving its default suck loading emulator to something as fast at loading and physical like Genymotion." - that's a really good question and I'd like to hear the excuse for that from Google :-)

Holger Liesegang, sorry that I am asking a lot but, the Genymotion I installed only has API levels 10 and above. Is there a way i can use Genymotion to test for lower API levels (like API levels 7,8,9)?

Sorry, Michael Ntambazi , but I didn't find any virtual device with with an older API than 10 and I also scanned all the info at Genymotion. You can either ask their support or use the original Google simulator (and make some coffee or tee while waiting for it to start) for this purpose.

:-) Indeed! I hope i didn't hurt their feeling by saying that their default emulator "sucks at loading" :-)
