C # 32bit project under 64-bit windows

Question

I am working on a formal application, I use a lot of hardware, Wiimote, a USB stick and a serial port. Everything worked perfectly under 32-bit windows, but I had to upgrade to 64 bits for some other applications I'm working on.

I did some research and you can develop x86 applications on an x64 system, but now I don’t know if this is what I want. The troublemaker is obviously directX sdk. AFAICS is another option - to install an x86 virtual machine to develop this application (I do not want a dual boot). I have never used this before, so I'm a little worried that all this equipment will not work under a virtual machine. I am using wiimoteLib and blueSoleil to connect bluetooth. That will work. And am I using the Windows 7 virtual xp option or other virtual machine software? I would probably use winXP as a virtual OS.
