Description
"Information" currently displays very little actual information - the filename, path, and a few play statistics. It would be nice to also display MD5 and SHA1 checksum information for the selected game - it would be helpful when interfacing with Retroachievements, when trying to soft-patch a game, or trying to determine whether you're playing on a bad dump. While this would be fairly simple to find oneself on desktop, players on console, mobile, or Steam Deck might have a harder time finding this information.
