I've hacked together a utility that allows the searching of a ROM file in a database of hashes. The difference with this system is that it allows fuzzy matching. In other words, it will match entries in the database even when the contents of the ROM don't match exactly.

The motivation for this project was the problem of matching imperfectly dumped ROMs with cartridge meta-data. Cartridges are sometimes imperfectly dumped when the cartridge contains bank switching hotspots and RAM. However, I think the tool may be more generally useful than that.

The README on the project page shows some example output.
