Refactors the PatchAllowlistTest to streamline the experience for developers. Instead of a textual description of what needs to change in ApprovedInis.json for RetroAchievements compatibility, the test will now generate a replacement file and instruct the coder where to copy it in their local branch, and what to update APPROVED_LIST_HASH to. The result should be easier and more instructive for developers to make changes, while still maintaining that allowed codes cannot be added or modified without recompiling Dolphin.
As ApprovedInis.json no longer needs to be user-readable for this process, it no longer contains titles or pretty formatting and as such is updated in this commit, hash included.
Adding a community-requested list of Gecko and Action Replay codes to the allowlist. Many of these codes were from the wiki and are being added to Dolphin's repo for the first time.
The primary focus of this PR is the Eternal Darkness patch which fixes hanging at startup, which prior to this fix makes Eternal Darkness unplayable in hardcore. The MHTri patch was added as well simply because it could be.
These patches were added in bde9a459cd
and enabled by default in 36ecfdd6b5.
They allowed the game to run in Dolphin but disabled dynamic shadows.
The game adds 4 to the start address of otherwise valid display lists
for no obvious reason. Now that Dolphin forces 32-byte alignment these
patches are no longer needed.
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.
