If I try using the goldfish kernel I get this:
"ERROR: New emulator backend requires minimum kernel version 3.10+ (currently got lower)"
Is there any way this can be updated somehow?

@Dees-Troy

I have installed Android 4.4.2 armeabi-v7a with SDK Tools 24.2.0 with Galaxy Nexus as Target, Skin HVGA and 1500MiB as SDCARD.

TWRP 3.4.0-0 (and all 3.x) version(s) are not booting at all with above said AVD configuration. Last version booting is 2.8.5.0 in my AVD with 3.4 goldfish kernel from android-4.4 branch.

All the images above 2.7.0.1 except 2.8.0.1 are Android boot.img format, that is the reason TWRP may not boot. We have to unpack it and pack ramdisk.cpio as gzip(?).
2.6.3.0 is working fine with all skins available.
2.8.5.0 is working fine with all skins but not 2.8.0.0.

I don't know if we have to use it in specific android avd or not.

As @dadreamer said here, we have to use it in arm architecture AVD only!(?)

Please correct me if I am wrong. Since there is no simple guide which explains all these things, I am not sure how to choose which version of Android AVD, which version of kernel to choose and lastly which version of TWRP to use.

More instructions like answering above small questions at https://twrp.me/twrp/androidemulator.html will help people like me.

Thanks

Just a question.
I spent some time on researching, but the only one that was worth looking at was How to flash zip on Genymotion programmatically ~ StackOverflow, though it seems too old to be working, I get

Is there a way to get TWRP Working on Genymotion then?
