## Menu Customization
[main] Next release changes (#162) <!--- Provide a general summary of your changes in the Title above --> ## Description <!--- Describe your changes in detail --> This PR merges `develop` and `main` for a tagged release so it can be used by most users (utilising debug flags where required). ## Release Notes - **New Features** - Introduced menu sound effects for enhanced user experience (the default is off). - Added N64 ROM autoload functionality, allowing users to set a specific ROM to load automatically. - Added menu boot hotkey (hold `start` to return to menu when autoload is enabled). - Added context menu and settings management options GUI for managing various settings in `config.ini`. - Added functionality for editing the real-time clock (RTC) within the RTC menu view. - Improved flashcart info view for showing supported flashcart features and version. - Enhanced UI components with new drawing functions and improved organization. - Added emulator support for `SMS`, `GG`, and `CHF` ROMs. - Enhanced joypad input handling for menu actions, improving responsiveness. - Optimized boxart image loading from filesystem. - Improved various text to make the functionality more clear. - **Bug Fixes** - Improved error handling in multiple areas, particularly in save loading and ROM management. - Enhanced memory management to prevent potential leaks during error conditions. - Fixed text flickering in certain circumstances. - **Documentation** - Updated README and various documentation files to reflect new features and usage instructions. - Added detailed setup instructions for SD cards and menu customization. - Enhanced clarity in documentation for RTC settings and menu customization. - Improved organization and clarity of SD card setup instructions for various flashcarts. - **Refactor** - Standardized naming conventions across UI components for better organization. - Restructured sound management and input handling for improved responsiveness. - Streamlined the loading state management for ROMs and disks within the menu system. - Improved clarity and usability of the developer guide and other documentation files. ### Current known Issues * The RTC UI requires improvement (awaiting UI developer). * BETA_SETTING: PAL60 when using HDMI mods has regressed (awaiting libdragon fix). * ALPHA_FEATURE: ED64 X Series detection does not occur properly (however this is not a problem as not tag released asset). * ALPHA_FEATURE: ED64 V Series only supports loading ROMs (however this is not a problem as not tag released asset). * Menu sound FX may not work properly when a 64 Disk Drive is also attached (work around: turn sound FX off). ### Breaking changes * Disk drive expansion ROMs are now loaded with `Z|L` instead of `R` to align with ROM info context menu (and future functionality). ## Motivation and Context <!--- What does this sample do? What problem does it solve? --> <!--- If it fixes/closes/resolves an open issue, please link to the issue here --> Merge the changes: #110 #106 #101 #89 #74 and other improvements. ## How Has This Been Tested? <!-- (if applicable) --> <!--- Please describe in detail how you tested your sample/changes. --> <!--- Include details of your testing environment, and the tests you ran to --> <!--- see how your change affects other areas of the code, etc. --> Locally on an SC64. ## Screenshots <!-- (if appropriate): --> ![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/799fc21c-8743-4c21-8449-b4f531d5c62c) ## Types of changes <!--- What types of changes does your code introduce?
