You might try booting Android directly with a Live x86 image. You can stick it on a thumb drive.

They've been doing generic builds for awhile, which they hadn't in the past few years. I ran an early build of 4.3 and it worked pretty nice on my MacBook Pro.

As long as it's a x86 build, it should run on any Windows/Linux emulator though.

I have a VirtualBox setup right now. You can get VB free here: https://www.virtualbox.org

And then just run it as a Linux distro, with 512MB minimum of RAM. You can get by with a 1GB virtual drive too.
