Error launching Emulator AVD Android Studio

Question

I get this warning when I launch the emulator.

emulator: WARNING: Host CPU is missing the following feature(s) required for x86 emulation: SSSE3
Hardware-accelerated emulation may not work properly!

What happens is that the emulator pops up but the screen of the phone stays black. I've waited for half an hour but it just stays black.

I have enabled virtualisation from the bios. I'm on Ubuntu 14.04 and my CPU processor is AMD.

Probably your CPU doesn't support SSE3 (or you don't have haxm installed), therefore the emulator won't work in x86 mode. Try to use Genymotion or use an ARM emulator.

Annoyingly, using the ARM emulator may be the best option - HAXM has caused me nothing but problems (Core 2 Quad). – zelanix Aug 16 '16 at 17:21
HAXM working fine at me with the new emulator. However genymotion is still an option :) – Szörényi Ádám Aug 17 '16 at 14:38
