@GregoryRasputin Thanks for the explanation.

Integrated emulators will come soon

[SonofUgly]

There's a new DS3 controller driver that works a lot better than MiJ:

Bluetooth Beta

nice peice of software that works brilliantly. i was just wondering if anybody knew of a similar thing that is emulating the 360 dashboard for use with a 360 controller?

Its not an emulator please dont call it that, an emulator runs original files of the hardware its emulating and tries to accurately translate the code eg a retro games console emulator.
Its a simulator, which is something that mimicks how hardware/software works to try to produce a similar result eg a pinball machine sim.
Not nit picking, just clarifying :-)

Simulation is used in Emulation.....
XMBPCE both Simulates and Emulates....
This is also an early beta and what may Simulate now can further Emulate in future.....

For this to be a real XMB emulator it has to run some of the code from the (PS3 system software) and I dont think it does that.
If it doesnt run the real XMB code (From either the PS3 or PSP) then its not an emulator.
Its easier to make something that looks and functions like the XMB.

If this truly emulates anything I would be happy if anyone pin-pointed what exactly is being emulated.

For christs sake...

Nice one @SvenGDK , looks good

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

This is a really neat applicaton. Kudos to you @SvenGDK .

[kmsi063]

it just seems to me a bit like making an application that 'emulates' mac on my pc, but just making a program with the buttons, pictures, task bar at the top with the apple icon, etc in the same places. it won't run any mac applications, it just looks like it, it would be cool to look at for some, but i don't really see the use.
as i said before, if it supported loading in real ps3 theme files, then it would be a really cool tool to see the theme how it would look like on your pc.

it would be cool also if it loaded other emulators via command line or whatever, like under the emu category or something, it lists roms and if the extension is .n64 then it runs a command to start the right emulator, just being a front end for stuff. (is this what it can do at the moment?)
but still it is nice to see people putting effort and time into things they want to make

-edit. ah you say it IS a media center thing, well cool i would just not use the word emulator since it will confuse people

@mrc1978 you forgot to click a Save button in the setup.
