Well, sort of. Pilot wave theory, if simulated, still requires you to run all the same calculations as (say) the Many-Worlds interpretation, in order to know what the pilot wave is doing. In fact, the pilot wave will still contain everything that MWI does: Multiple timelines, vast assemblies of nearly-independent universes, Earths beyond counting, etc etc. What PWT does is add in some nearly-epiphenomenal particles, and declare that only these count; that any observer described by the pilot wave is a philosophical zombie. I have objections to this concept. :P
