RetroAchievements not hashing correctly for RVZ for new Dolphin Libretro Core

[nickkeane]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• This is a bug in RetroArch frontend
• I have searched the existing issues

Description

The Dolphin libRetro Core recently got an update against a much more recent version of Dolphin Standalone. However, there is a discrepancy in how RetroAchievement hashes are generated through the RetroArch core regarding RVZ files.

For example, with Animal Crossing (USA), the correct hash (4f69-) is generated for ISO format. With RVZ format, an incorrect hash is generated (973e-). Dolphin Standalone is able to generate the correct hashes for both.

Expected behavior

RetroArch should be able to properly hash RVZ files for RA identification.

Steps to reproduce the bug

1. Start RetroArch
2. Update Dolphin Core to latest version (bfac84ab or later)
3. Load Content in ISO format
4. Verify RetroAchivements work
5. Load Same Content in RVZ format
6. Verify RetroAchievements aren't working
7. In Dolphin 2509 Standalone, verify that RVZ and ISO files both work with RetroAchievements

Achievement identification logic requires the frontend support .rvz. It doesn't matter if the core does. See also #13735 (comment)

IIUC, this PR should fix this issue.

[gouchi]

@nickkeane Can you confirm it is working with nightly build as the PR has been merged.

Please close this issue, if you don't reproduce the issue.

Thank you.

[nickkeane]

Looks like it's working now.
