| Issue | Solution | |-------|----------| | Camera app crashes | The emulator lacks a camera driver. Use a dummy override in config.yml ( camera: null ). | | No audio (pops and crackles) | Set audio backend to (Windows) or PulseAudio (Linux). Reduce buffer to 512 samples. | | Cannot install .sis files | Mount a folder as E:\ drive. Copy .sis files there, then use the native File Manager to install. | | Wi-Fi emulation doesn’t work | The N8 expects a real BCM4329 chip. Use Ethernet passthrough (experimental in dev builds). |
