Im trying to do an 8bit computer like Ben Eater but the app continues to crash when I add more cables. Its like if it has reached a limit.

CRUMB is a very power intensive application. If you are using LEDs as indicators in the circuit, it will add 4-7 more iterations for the SPICE solver per frame The next major update will include simple logic indicators that do not require computational power For the time being, it is indeed possible to build Ben eaters 8 bit CPU without LEDsYou can use the circuit voltage and current views to view your logic in the circuit for the time being Also it’s worth remembering with SPICE based simulations, the computational steps are On^3. So each time you add a single component, the size of the matrix/net list increases massively For the future, I will multi thread the mobile version so that the UI is separate from the simulation (as per new PC version) and the simulation can run much slower than real-time for complex circuits I hope this helps
