[Tutorial] How to play multiplayer on one PC. testing PPSSPP adhoclocal

[JerofEldr]

My SO and I are really wanting to use this method to play Monster Hunter together. And since we only have one working pc and the vita/psp are out of commission this is our only method to do so.

The problem is the same on Monster Hunter 3rd, Unite, AND Freedom: Everything works fine until the quest begins. We can see each other in the guild hall, make and join quests, and depart for the missions. But at some point during the loading screen something goes wrong. The Host (either one of us) takes FOREVER to load and the guest starts the mission with "*name* broke off from mission." EVENTUALLY the host loads and he can play the mission but it is too late, the connection has been severed.

We can abandon or finish the quest and meet back again in the lobby but either way, no quest can be played together.

Full FPS, and literally no other issues on single player side.

PPSSPP v1.0-41-adhoclocal/PPSSPP v1.0-36-adhoclocal

SETTINGS
----------
GRAPHICS:
Simulate block transfer = unchecked

NETWORKING:
Enable networking/WLAN = checked (for both instances of PPSSPP)
Specify client address = checked (for both instances of PPSSPP)
Change bind address = 127.0.0.2 (127.0.0.3 for 2nd instance of PPSSPP)
PRO ad hoc server IP = 127.0.0.1 (for both instances of PPSSPP)
(Have tried changing IP to variations suggested in this thread to no avail.)
Enable built in PRO = checked (unchecked for 2nd instance of PPSSPP)
MAC address is different for each instance of PPSSPP

SYSTEM:
Fast Memory = unchecked
Multithreaded = unchecked
I/O on thread = unchecked


All other settings are on DEFAULT because of just downloading the 1.0 version here in this thread BUT I have tried it with many combinations of the 0.9 version as well as the official PPSSPP version.

My problem is not connecting, simply STAYING connected during the quests/loading said quests.

On a side note I can play online on Coldbird.net just fine though last time I tried to play Monster Hunter Freedom Unite I MAY have been meet with the same issue but I can not remember accurately.

Any help you may provide would be greatly welcome.
Thank you in advance!
