Q:

Unable to use x86 emulator with Xamarin

I'm trying to follow along with the Xamarin guide for Android. I'm getting an alert saying that x86 emulators are 10x faster. But when I try to use an X86, version whether I create it or using the default one it fails. This happens on windows as well as mac. It works just fine with an arm processor.

A:

The problem was because I didn't have HAXM installed. I had to go into the BIOS and enable virtualization. Then install HAXM from Intel's site. For some reason I can do it view SDK manager.
