Well, he is a mac user.

As a Linux user this is how the original android emulator with the intel image looks like:

https://anonfiles.com/file/cb80d8bd4b46c09c37efd1bd850cc0ed (may not directly play in all browsers, in midori it does, you may have to "download" it)

I only modified the system partition a bit so that I have the google apps. Google Search for some reason doesn't work, but the rest is ok.

I haven't found a website where intel does provide the latest images, but there it's apparantly all there in that xml file: http://download-software.intel.com/sites/landingpage/android...

      Well, what can I say? It's a standard h.264 video that plays in ffplay, vlc and mplayer.

      Video: h264 (High 4:4:4 Predictive) (avc1 / 0x31637661), yuv444p, 1512x800, 845 kb/s, 25 fps, 25 tbr, 16k tbn, 50 tbc
