Checklist

  • I have searched for a similar issue in this repository and did not find one.

Description

A tool for identifying damaged or corrupted PS4 game dumps.

Reason

I think this tool should be added because it would benefit not only users facing emulator issues due to a bad or corrupted dump, but also save time for the project's developers and maintainers, who have to sift through logs from people with faulty PS4 game dumps. In short, I believe it is in everyone's interest to avoid the frustration caused by this issue.

Examples

This tool could be accessed, for example, via a new option under "Utils" in the "Settings" tab.

Update: I suggested an approach to solve this problem in this comment.

And so, I decided it would be better to split this request into two but keep this one open for reference.
