How to run older then api 29 android emulator on M1 Mac (api 24, 25 builds don't work)

Question

Desperately I need to test certain android versions and have M1 mac for some time. New versions of emulator runs super fast and I didn't realized there are any issues but now I tried build api 25 and api 24 that are also Arm64v8a but they just open window and doesn't start up at all. I actually needed to test Android 8 for some bug in one app but don't know how to do it now, I can see just api 24 and api 25 arm64 emulators that is android 7 and 7.1 but even those don't start at all.
