Describe the solution you'd like
It might be good if MPF.check requires the -u / -use flag, so that users are forced to identify the dumping software used, to better ensure check works. Previously, the default was DIC, but with redumper becoming more common, it could be any number of programs used.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Another option would be to somehow detect which program was used (based on the log files perhaps?) but I'd imagine that is not an ideal way of handling this process.
