For instance, if `gameCode = LDJ`, `TimeDateStamp = 0x64EF0FF5`, and `AddressOfEntryPoint = 0x1037754`, then `peIdentifier = LDJ-64ef0ff5_1037754`.
We use the timestamp and the entry point offset as opposed to a file hash, since files can be pre-patched by other tools, and can have additional sections added (e.g., for translations). We also explicitly do not use the game datecode since that information does not come from the DLL but rather a separate XML file, which is often incorrect on people's setups.

The filename of DLLs are not used either to identify contents since there are scenarios where DLLs are renamed (e.g., `bm2dx_omni.dll`)
