I'd say stop the project before you get too frustrated. It simply doesn't make sense. Basically, any combination of incompatible CPU and chipset makes testing useless/impossible, so having the host CPU appear with identical/similar characteristics in the virtual machine makes the virtualization solution a no-go. You could try VirtualBox and VirtualPC, but I believe they both have similar problems.
