Yes, see libtpms for the most prominent software TPM implementation for emulators: https://github.com/stefanberger/libtpms
Wow, I didn't realize they still relied on a golden-key style root of trust... I assumed they were trust on first use. That seems pretty bad!

You can do trust on first use. Just... throw away the EK certificate and just trust the EK's public key. After all, you have physical access to the chip and... you trust your supply chain, right?
Ever since the beginning I have maintained the strong and unchanging opinion that everything TPM and "trusted computing" related is ultimately user-hostile and a threat to freedom, and it's disturbing to see that the worst nightmares are slowing becoming reality. It used to be drugs and terrorism. Now it's "security".
