Add embedded ROM image support - #413
Conversation
Works well on a system with an expansion pak, but not on a jumper pak.
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe change adds embedded metadata image support through ZIP extraction, JPEG and PNG memory decoding, unified image caching, dynamic image selection, cleanup, and decoder ownership transfer. ChangesMetadata image loading
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to Embedded ROM artwork can fail to advance to later images on low-memory consoles, and a failed decode can repeatedly reload the background while the ROM screen remains open. These are contained UI reliability issues that should be addressed before merging. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Background is removed in favour of showing boxart.

repeated calls replace rather than append screenshots when metadata_zip_path

In `@src/menu/rom_info.c`:
- Around line 914-932: Reset screenshot state at each metadata parsing site
before appending entries: in src/menu/rom_info.c lines 914-932, 1090-1108, and
1183-1201, free existing screenshot strings, clear their slots to NULL, and set
screenshot_count to zero. Keep these resets inline at each call site; do not
extract a helper.
In `@src/menu/ui_components/boxart.c`:
- Around line 33-34: Remove the unconditional ui_components_background_reload
call from the boxart component callback; make the caller or low-memory state
control whether the background is reloaded after a successful asynchronous
decode, preserving it as freed for low-memory swaps in load_rom.c.
- Around line 56-62: Update the JPEG and PNG failure handling in the boxart
decoder path to match each API’s buffer ownership contract: remove the
caller-side free for JPEG_ERR_BUSY because jpeg_decoder_start_mem already frees
the buffer, and free data when png_decoder_start_mem returns PNG_ERR_OUT_OF_MEM.
Preserve the existing successful return behavior and other error handling.
In `@src/menu/views/load_rom.c`:
- Around line 56-57: Update the embedded metadata handling around
metadata_images_scanned so it returns early only when metadata_image_count is
greater than zero; when no usable image names were found, preserve the
filesystem fallback scan for boxart or screenshots.

🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Stop background reload after the first decoder failure.
After a decoder finishes with boxart->image == NULL, this condition remains true. view_load_rom_display then reloads the background on every frame. Free and clear the failed component after reloading, or store a one-time failure state.
Proposed fix
if (!is_memory_expanded() && boxart != NULL && !boxart->loading && boxart->image == NULL) {
+ ui_components_boxart_free(boxart);
+ boxart = NULL;
ui_components_background_reload();

Description
Adds ability to show boxart and screenshots from embedded metadata.
A caveat is that on memory constrained systems (those that don't have an Expansion Pak), the background image cannot be shown when showing the ROM screen with included embedded meta images.
Motivation and Context
We want to fully meet the https://n64brew.dev/wiki/ROM_Metadata spec.
How Has This Been Tested?
On a local PAL console with and without an Expansion Pak
