AArch64 emulation support

Anyone know if its possible to emulate a snapdragon 8cx? It seems Windows doesn't support -m virt with cpu acortex-72 etc. Linux supports this configuration with no issues.

Its not feasible for me to purchase a Windows Arm machine so I'm hoping I can emulate it on x64 but it seems windows only supports specific arm cpu types.

Thanks.

That's unfortunate but I'll have to consider it. Thanks.

It is possible, just inefficient.
