Blackberry 10 Alpha simulator black screen/not working?

I have been trying to install BB's IDE to try out Cascade but couldn't get simulator to work until today. Dumb me... because I found out I used wrong VMPlayer version. BB already stated VMPlayer 5.0 didn't work with simulator beta2, and by using VMPlayer 4.x the simulator ran fine.

While I googled for solutions, I saw some VMPlayer setting suggestions and figured I might as well document them below:
  1. Make sure set memory to at least 1G, hard disk to 8G.
  2. Set CPU to dual-core if your system has multiple cores.
  3. Enable 3D acceleration.
