A non-real time is not so much impossible - our first demo of 0.00 USD
PIC emulator is freely downloadable, and simulates/emulates a
PIC12C508, allowing the use of LPT port as simulation POD. Other
hardware can also be used as POD, like a PIC programmer or Hi-Lo
universal programmer, well that is not for students.
A new version will support IO extenders made out of PIC16C84.

That is not real time emulation, but for some tasks even non-real
time IO simulation is enough. and it is nice to run a program in
PC simulator and see the actual leds to blink under the PIC program
control.

The current release of 12C508 is beta but I did use to test I2C read
write routines and successfully worked with a real 24C16 device.

PS other PIC will be supported to, by our 0.00 USD emulators, later...
