Checklist (we expect you to perform these steps before opening the issue)

I have searched for a similar issue in this repository and did not find one.
I am using an official build obtained from releases or updated one of those builds using its in-app updater.
I have re-dumped the game and performed a clean install without mods and the issue is still present.
I have disabled all patches and cheats and the issue is still present.
I have all the required system modules installed.

Describe the Bug

I have tried pretty much all versions of ShadPS4, including forks, newest version, older versions, etc. I have tried different dumps from 2 different ps4s, I have tried rebuilding ShadPS4 in VS, made sure all the files are on the same drive but in separate folders, etc. I am quite confused because in January I was able to get bloodborne up and running with 0 issues, but when I returned to play the game a few days ago I cannot get it past this black screen and error no matter what I try, even when I tried using the same dump and the same ShadPS4 file. I have the latest C++ distributable, Vulkan RT, and anything else I could find that might stop this from working. Updated drivers too

Reproduction Steps

Obtain PKG for Bloodborne (and 1.09 patch)
Install/unpack package using ShadPS4 version 0.5.0
Try to open Bloodborne on any version of ShadPS4

Specify OS Version

CPU

Intel Core Ultra 9

GPU

NVIDIA RTX 3500 Ada

Amount of RAM in GB

FYI-- In this log the 'couldn't extract trophies' error is because I forgot to dump the right files in sys_modules but I assure you even after doing that, that specific error is solved but the rest is still the same

The process of redumping a game into a PKG modifies it's files. I suggest you redump the game, properly this time.
If you need help with this, I suggest asking in the shadPS4 Discord server.
