Prototype of a system to whitelist known game patches that are allowed to be used while RetroAchievements Hardcore mode is active. ApprovedInis.txt contains known hashes for the ini files as they appear in the repo, and can be compared to the local versions of these files to ensure they have not been edited locally by the player. ApprovedInis.txt is hashed and verified similarly first, with its hash residing as a const string within AchievementManager.h, ensuring ApprovedInis and the hashes within cannot be modified without editing Dolphin's source code and recompiling completely.
This game follows the anti-pattern of calling memset on a buffer in the
midst of being DMA copied to ARAM, then calling a DVD read function that
effectively cancels the memset with dcbi instructions. Dolphin does not
emulate dcache for performance reasons, so this patch removes the
offending memset call.
Patches are included for two regions and are enabled by default.
