Hello,
If I have understood correctly, the current HLE implementation of the BBA does not allow communication between two instances of Dolphin on the same device. I attempted this and got an error on the second instance that the Dolphin could not listen to a specific port.
My question is, couldn't the second instance detect that another Dolphin instance is already listening to the port in question and use another port instead, and at the same time broadcast to the original port that the new port should be used, with any instances detecting this message rebroadcasting this info to new ports they know about?
It may be that my limited understanding of networking makes this a stupid question, but I figured, I'd just share my thoughts.
(and I know there are other ways to make this work without the HLE implementation, but I figured it would be more convenient if the average used didn't have to go through that hassle)
