Description

Since cores control the string that's shown there, they can be inconsistent, or as is the case at the moment, return nothing despite a disc hashing algorithm being implemented already.

edit: Maybe the dump status window should also show which firmware requests were made/fulfilled?

Research direction

Start by locating IRomInfo, the dump status window, and the core code that controls its displayed string. Determine how the existing disc hashing status is exposed and whether firmware requests belong in the same status, then confirm the interface and window provide consistent, visible results.
