Emulator Requirements

To use the TV emulator:

  • Your CPU must support hardware-assisted virtualization:

    • For Windows® and macOS, check the Intel® product specifications to make sure that your CPU supports Intel® VT-x.
    • For Linux, check the KVM site to make sure that your CPU supports either Intel® VT-x or AMD-V™.

  • Your computer must support OpenGL® ES acceleration. You need:

    • Graphics card driver that supports OpenGL® 1.4 installed on the host machine
    • The latest vendor-provided graphics card driver supporting OpenGL® ES acceleration

  • On Ubuntu 14.04/16.04, the Intel driver version must be 8.0.1 or higher.

  • If the host machine is using the NVIDIA® Optimus® technology, the emulator works with the on-board graphics card. To prevent this, either disable the Optimus® technology, or set the emulator to run with the external NVIDIA graphics card.
