Utility to validate Syzygy tablebases?

[MuguJack]

Just checking if there is a utility available to tell one what Syzygy tablebases you are missing from a given set of files?
It would also be nice if it could validate the files against the published checksums, though that process might take a while to complete.

Apologies if I missed the answer to this searching or this is a duplicate/wrong post.

If my memory is correct , the more recent versions of crafty would tell the user which file is not being loaded due to corruption.

Banksia GUI has a tool to verify syzygy egtbs. Although 1/3 of the bases downloaded from Sesse Tablebase website did not pass.

Any explainations on this matter.
