Exactly, i tried to edit the keyboard layout that is horrible, but i've found out that i can easily do that with kbd files (cool).
Anyway, why this check?

You're not going to be able to do that with a hex editor.  You need the actual source code if you want to change things.

Prevent people from breaking their players loading the wrong binary or broken files.

The check is there so that people can't stupidly hex edit the binary instead of editing the source :)

Also, in case people but the wrong build on their player, or the build is corrupted in download or transfer.  There is a really really good reason for it.
