KytyPlus v4.5

Astro Bot now boots, and controllers work properly in the launcher again.

Astro Bot (PPSA21567)

• Boots through to the title prompt. A shader descriptor read on an unbound
  handle was being treated as a live host pointer and faulted, killing the game
  before it could render. Unbound reads are now zero-filled, matching the
  existing policy for out-of-range offsets, so the game compiles its shaders and
  reaches "Press Any Button".
• Game artwork restored. Icons were being overwritten by a generic file icon
  after the real artwork was applied, so titles showed a name and serial but no
  art.
• Launcher options restored. Seven options were lost in the upstream merge —
  --hdr, --hide-cursor, --tessellation, --network-connected,
  --trophy-notifications, --sync-raw-image-buffers and
  --skip-notice-screen. Their absence is what made the launcher refuse to
  start games at all.

Controllers

• Gamepads can be mapped in Settings → Controls. The dialog was never handed
  the launcher's controller poller, so it always read "No controller connected"
  and the Gamepad tab could not capture a press. Keyboard and mouse were
  unaffected, which made this look like a controller-support problem rather than
  a wiring one.
• Controller detection no longer dies permanently after launching a game
  once. The poller was suspended when a game started and never resumed, so
  every later launch in the same session saw no pad. Suspension now follows the
  emulator process state, which also covers the image- and package-launch paths
  that previously skipped it entirely.

Known issues

• Astro Bot reaches in game but is not yet playable: frame rate is
  far from real-time, and the game still exits on its own after a little.
