Multiple HAXM AVDs

[Timothy_D_]

Hello All,

I have configured a beefy i7 machine to run multiple HAXM accelerated AVDs. However, I run into this seemingly arbitrary hard limit of 8 simultaneous devices, where in which starting my 9th emulator results in:

Starting emulator for AV 'device8'
Starting AVD without boot animation.
Hax is enabled
WARNING: init: Missing WGL extension WGL_ARB_make_current_read
Hax ram_size 0x40000000
Failed to create VM. Error code: 31
Failed to create vm ffffffff
Failed to create HAX VM
No accelerator found
failed to initialize HAX:Invalid argument

No matter what I do in the AVD configuration, I can only run 8 emulators at a time. I've tried emulators with 1gb, 2gb, 3gb of memory. I've done both 32bit and 64bit intel images. I installed HAXM with 28gb allocated.

So in short: I can successfully run 8 HAXM AVD emulators. I cannot run a ninth one, even though I have plenty of ram left. I gave HAXM installation 28gb.

Please help!
