Description

For game / ROM files would it be feasible to integrate this rom properties tool for thumbnails and game metadata please?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Explore the rom properties GitHub repository and API to understand how to invoke it for thumbnails and metadata extraction. Then identify where in the copyparty codebase thumbnails and metadata are handled, and plan how to call the external tool or library from Python.
