How About A XMB Clone Running On Windows?

For those who have not read about XMBPCE, it's a PS3 and PSP XMB emulator/simulator that runs on Windows. This is not a PS3 emulator nor will it control your PS3. Think of it as an program like Win Amp that handles music, movie files but also pictures/images and PC game discs. Other additions are the launching of a browser, PC games, and music player. The addition of the video player and picture viewer are halfway done so expect that in an upcoming update. The developer also mentions the integration of retro emulators such as RetroArk.

With this emulator you can use the graphical user interface of the PS3/PSP on your Windows PC. You can control it with the PS3 Controller.
