Running Windows Phone emulator in a Windows 8 VMWare VM

I created a Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit VMWare VM using VMWare Workstation 10 for developing Windows Store application.  Since Microsoft is pushing for univserial app between Windows phone and Windows Store (tablet), so I am planning on doing my apps that way.  However, I got into problem starting Windows Phone 8.1 emulator with Visual Studio 2013.  

At the end, this post helped solving my problem.  The key steps are:

- In my VMWare VM setting, enable "Virtualize Intel VT-x/EPT or ARM-V/RVI" option.

- At the end of the vmx-file of my VM, add the following 2 lines:

hypervisor.cpuid.v0 = "FALSE"
mce.enable = "TRUE"

with that, I have Windows Phone emulator running properly.  I can even experience touch on Windows Phone when using my iPad with Microsoft Remote Desktop app.
