==== Conclusion ====
<span style="white; color:red!important;">'''USELESS'''</span>, 100% valid files will be failing 00/ff check. Improper files will be failing 00/ff check too, and no detection of the root of the cause. Nothing was patched and gives the user a permanent false sense of having bad dumps without leads of what to solve.
