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.
Having settings for each game in more than one file is redundant.
Now, region-free INIs are now only for settings, and region-specific
INIs are only for AR codes and patches. Exceptions are made for
titles that share the first three characters of their IDs with
unrelated titles (mostly unlicensed titles and Triforce titles).
It removes settings that were removed from dolphin to clean up the
database. Modifies some gameinis to use the new 3 letter gameid. Adds
Hyrule field speedup hack for Japanese and American version of Twilight
Princess for wii. Removes efb to ram from Twilight Princess, Tony Hawk's
Pro Skater 3, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4, Prince of Persia Forgotten
Sands, Mario Superstar Baseball, Okami, FFCC the Crystal Bearers and The
Simpsons due to the recent dolphin changes. Enables efb to ram for The
Magic Obelisk because it needs it and some more minor changes.
This is a cleanup of the gameini database. Specifically:
It removes the "Issues=..." lines and their respective comments since
they don't show up in the gui, are very old and wrong in most cases.
They contain probably more than 4 year old comments (i don't have a clue
who or when wrote them).
Also remove the "EFBCopyCacheEnable = True" lines from the database.
These were put at a time that efb to Ram had resolution issues without
cache being enabled, safe texture cache could be disabled and speed was
detrimental. Now that efb to ram doesn't have the same res issues as
back then, safe texture cache can't be disabled with speed gains being
non existent (you get even a speed hit if texture cache is put to safe)
i think it should be removed from the database.
