“The device is already opened by another application or kernel driver in shared mode, preventing exclusive access.”

The 4.x architecture completely reimagines the emulator's workflow. Instead of injecting code into a game's binaries, version 4.x runs as a global, virtual device driver. It creates a virtual Xbox 360 controller at the system level.
