Hey guys :dkmelee:

So I got a new computer back in august in celebration of going to university. Since getting that computer i correctly installed Dolphin and Project M Netplay using the SD method. I've made sure to triple check all my settings are correct and yet when I go to Host "PMNetplay.elf", I receive the error message "Failed to listen. Is another instance of the Netplay Server running?". I have tried allowing Dolphin.exe through my firewall yet it did not fix it. I also used a site to check ports 2626 and 6262 and it said they are both closed. I play using a ps4 controller for which I have a program called inputmapper, I'm pretty sure it doesn't use any of the ports since it worked on my last computer. Besides that I have nothing open that could occupy the ports. I've googled the problem and there are about 6 or 7 pages where people ask for help but their posts usually go unanswered.

Try turning off panic handlers. but i suspect its something to do with you having multiple dolphins open at the same time, or trying to connect more than one time. Try click ctrl+alt+esc and going to details and seeing if theres more than 1 dolphin process running. You also have a wii nand root, which is odd, try removing that (DONT DELETE IT, JUST REMOVE IT FROM THE PATH) and see if that'll change anything. Hope i helped.
