Description
to check if my specfic rom has support for the respective RetroAchievements list i have to either load up the game and see it say 0 out of 1 achievements and then meaning it isn't supported or i check my hashes with the RA website.
please add a way during the content scan or later where you can scan the hashes of a game to check if it is compatible with the list on retroachievements then you could add stats onto the metadata view of the game something showing your percentage completed, amount of trophies done or how many points earned etc

Define the supported hash lookup and the metadata statistics to display; done means compatibility and achievement progress can be determined before booting.
