Possible disadvantages

• Configuration complexity
  Setting up and configuring the emulator can be complex and may require manual editing of configuration files, which can be difficult for users unfamiliar with such processes.
• Limited documentation
  Although there is some documentation available, it could be more comprehensive. Users might need to spend extra time searching forums and other resources for specific setup and troubleshooting information.
