Android studio currently requires hardware acceleration. Just want to see if I can get an older version of as so I can run emulator since my computer does not have hardware acceleration at all.

  • Are you referring to the Graphics acceleration (GPU emulation) option of the emulator? It is NOT mandatory at all. – Sébastien Oct 16 '15 at 06:29

you can use other emulator like Genymotion https://www.genymotion.com

i often use my Nexus 5 (Lollipop -> now Marshmallow) for testing, and Genymotion for older version.

i use genymotion because my processor is AMD, so i cannot use HAXM because its intel based

VT-x or AMD-V capable CPU is required for genymotion https://www.genymotion.com/#!/download

It does not require hardware acceleration for ARM system images.
