Windows Phone 8 emulator on Windows 8.1 - windows-phone-8

Is it possible to run Windows Phone 8 emulator on Windows 8.1 standard edition (not 8.1 Pro)?
I know that normally the emulator requires Hyper-V which is not available in non-Pro version but since Windows Phone 7 emulator works fine without Hyper-V maybe there is a way to run 8's emulator without Hyper-V as well?

The Windows Phone 8 emulator is a special Hyper-V image.
you can use a virtual machine to deploy windows phone 8 OS. My laptop processor does not support hyper-v so, I've installed win phone 8 on a virtual machine. I found this link helpful.. check it out: How to use Windows Phone 8 Emulator without Hyper-V

What is your version of Windows 8.1? You need AT LEAST Windows 8.1 Pro or better to be able to run Windows Phone Emulators. If your version is a standard one, you cannot use the Windows Phone 8 emulators, as your windows doesn't have HyperV
