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.
Only the NTSC version of Gladius got a patch with smurf3tte's reverse
engineering work. Since most of the work was done, I ported over the
fix to the PAL, French, and German releases. Leoetlino helped figure
out a consistent way to find the correct address.
