So is it possible to have two ppsspp running in the same computer and two controlers, 1 each for one instance of ppsspp. I kinda thought of playing with my friend on the same, a co-op game of course. I have a big enough screen for two to play comfortably. I have the adhoc thing for hosting the server.

Ummm the game we want to play is Monster Hunter Freedom Unite.

It is possible if you use a virtual machine...
You can create one with VMWare Player or VirtualBox Smile

For the multiplayer aspect, a virtual machine is required to host a game on one PC (one VM per person that isn't the person running PPSSPP on the host OS). To simply run two instances of the emulator at once doesn't require one, but you'd probably need to use one DirectInput controller and one XInput controller with each copy of the emulator set to use one controller. If you go the virtual machine route to play multiplayer, it shouldn't matter if you use two XInput controllers or two DirectInput controllers.
