Parasol Stars netplay not working...

So yesterday I set up a netplay session for Parasol Stars for the Turbografx, and all you get is a grey screen. Not even any kind of error message. The weird part is that only a few hours earlier, it had worked just fine. I retried it today and still had no luck, so I'm posting here. 
The problem isn't with just me, as Foxy started a session with the same results. The problem is only with netplay, as the game works fine when I play it solo. No other games give me this problem so far. I have the latest plugin, all of my stuff is up to date, etc. 

I should also mention that the NES version of Parasol Stars works fine, it's only the TG16 version that seems to be broken. Help appreciated, because that's one hell of a fun game.

Did the window say anything under the gray screen?
Something to the effect of emulator closed?

Well, not sure exactly.

I would need to know what the logs says.



Press Windows Key+R and type (or copy)

C:programdatavizzedVizzedRgrPlugin



In that directory, you should find a pluginlog.txt

At the bottom, see if there are any errors generated.

Typically, they will look like this:

11/10 08:04:15 PM - ( INFO ) :    Failed: Error opening file "C:ProgramDataVizzedVizzedRgrPluginRomsParasol Stars - The Story of Bubble Bobble III (USA).pce.ips": No such file or directory



or



11/10 08:04:16 PM - ( INFO ) :    Error: Error opening file "C:ProgramDataVizzedVizzedRgrPluginUser-#Mednafen_newpalettespce.pal": No such file or directory



edit:

bleh....auto emotes <<

rizeveedramon : That shouldn't be an issue, since you didn't add cheats.
I think your router is blocking incoming connections.
"RecvMoreData() socket receive operation failed (return=0)" is saying the netplay server can't send data back.

Did you try netplay with Parasol Stars for NES?

Vanelan : Yeah it works fine for the NES. But the NES version doesn't have co-op, so it's not really useful...

I should also add that since then, dragonslayer444 and VizzedGuy111 have both tried to set up Parasol Stars sessions with the same results.

Do you have Windows Firewall enabled?
That seems to cause issues as well.

Vanelan : I definitely have my firewall on but I don't see how that would be related. Like I said, the game worked fine a few days ago. 

EDIT: I tried again, this time with Jordan making the session and me joining. He said it was working fine for him, but the issue persisted for me. I looked in the plugin log and got a different error this time:

11/11 08:26:21 PM - (INFO): Failed: Error opening file "C:ProgramDataVizzedVizzedRgrPluginRomsParasol Stars - The Story of Bubble Bobble III (USA).pce.ips": No such file or directory

I'm able to create a session to that game no problem, but something seems to be blocking rize from joining it on her end.

Another user was able to join my session no problem as well.

I think Windows Firewall is pointless...
Your router has a firewall already...but whatever...

I also get that error...its a translation file. It wouldn't stop the game from running.

Sorry for the double post but I did a little more fiddling and got this error this time:

11/13 08:52:22 PM - (INFO): Emu Host communication thread terminating because of exception: RecvMoreData() socket receive operation failed (return=0).

Hopefully that helps with the solution...
