Can I create a scaled Xephyr window?

I'm playing some old games in Wine with low maximum resolutions like 800x600 inside a Xephyr instance. Is there some way I can enlarge the Xephyr window so that it will run at 1600x1200 and simply scale its contents up? I tried to use xrandr, but that didn't work out the way I hoped:

~$ Xephyr :1 -ac -screen 800x600x16 & disown
[1] 31247
~$ export DISPLAY=:1
~$ xrandr
xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default
