Awesome! Thanks Japheth for testing this. I'm taking a temporary weekend breather and will be back to testing this with a few more releases next week. Let me know as and when you get the chance to review modified VSBHDA code, and maybe some time next month I can open a PR to merge with your main VSBHDA branch.

Also if you're testing this with more games, then please let me know if it's all good
