Android Emulator: Failed to allocate memory: 8 even with 8MB RAM

Question

I\'m trying to start an emulator, but I keep getting the error Failed to allocate memory: 8.

There are some solutions to this problem, setting the RAM

Answer 1

I've had problems like this. The only way to fix it was to set it to either 256, 512 or 1024. I have no idea why it won't work with any random value.
