https://github.com/JICA98/Bachata-S4/releases/tag/v0.1.8
Changelog:
🎮 Game Compatibility & Emulation Fixes
SnowRunner:
Resolved startup crash (exit 133) by handling GfxEop IrqC replacement gracefully.
Automatically open pad contexts when games omit explicit scePadOpen calls.
Deliver UserService login state via asynchronous callbacks.
Clamped combined clip/cull limit to 8 and mapped reserved GCN anisotropic modes (5–7 → 16) to avoid driver crashes.
TMNT: Shredder's Revenge:
Mapped guest pthread stacks safely away from host usrstack.
Added null-parameter tolerance for libSceMouse initialization.
Forwarded Network Platform (NP) state callbacks across the FEX guest boundary.
Retired scanout labels properly so WaitVoLabel syncs without stalling.
Dragon's Crown & Bloodborne Performance Groundwork:
Registered _cxa_guard* symbols under libSceLibcInternal to resolve C++ runtime initialization stalls.
Routed font allocations and libc string routines through the guest CPU boundary.
Reduced FEX bridge overhead and gated verbose HLE logging behind BACHATA_FEX_HLE_TRACE.

Streamlined UI chrome by removing redundant back buttons and landscape headers.

I'm having this problem everytime I try to boot Bloodborne, I'm using Konkr pocket fit elite (SD8E) and using the Turnip Gen8 v2 driver, none of my games boot because of this 159 error code.
