Is there any way to run x86 images?

Everytime I try I run it I get ERROR | can't find the emulator executable. I know there are aarm64 ones for me to run, but I specfically want to run x86_64/x86, is there any way?

I've created patch for experimental x86_64/x86 support (https://github.com/fredyshox/android-emulator-m1-x86). It runs fully emulated in software using TCG backend without any hardware CPU acceleration. Unfortunately TCG is not as mature on aarch64 as it's on x86, so performance is bad, it's not really usable apart from basic stuff. But feel free to try it.
