'Emulator can not be opened because of a problem' AVD not working in Android Studio on Mac Yosemite

I have created a few virtual devices in Android Studio, but I'm not able to run any. Here's my error msg: enter image description here

Here's some things I've tried:

  1. Creating a NEXUS 4 AVD (to be able to choose 'Software-GLES 2.0' from 'Emulated performance graphics' in the AVD manager.)

  2. Uninstall, then reinstall the Intel x86 HAXM installer.

I will be upgrading my mid-2012 MacBook Pro's OS to Catalina soon, but for now I have to run Yosemite which is supposed to be supported by Android Studio 3.6.1.

Thanks for any help!

An OS upgrade to Catalina did the trick, though the devices are quite slow to load. I managed to run a NEXUS 4 AVD (left it on 'Auto' for the 'Emulated performance graphics' option in the AVD manager.)

I restarted Android Studio and create a new device in AVD MANAGER then I have increased the RAM size of emulator and it works nicely.
