Feature: Both file name seed string and in-game seed hash #202

Some randomizers typically put some kind of seed string on the file name of the randomized rom you generate so you can identify as using the same seed as someone else so this would be nice to have as a basis. Once you have that in then you can implement an in-game version that uses various item sprites at the top of the File Select screen to show you are running the same seed as the other player (an even easier way to identify it). Since this is a combo randomizer, this seed hash can be 4-5 in-game sprites consisting of both games' items and icons and what not (stuff like Kokiri Tunic, Magic Beans, Eyeball Frog, MM Hookshot, OOT Hookshot, etc etc). Not a pressing thing but now that you can input seed numbers to run on the same seed just a thing that'd be nice.

Are you interested in having the file select seed hash (where it's like 4 or 5 item random images at the top of the file select) @Nax or should I close this? When people race they use this to confirm they are running the same seed without having to look at the patch file name. That's about the only reason this exists in the solo randomizers. I remember you saying before there were issues with space...?
