Crate rom_analyzer 

The rom_analyzer crate provides functionality to analyze various ROM file formats from classic video game consoles. It aims to extract metadata such as region, game title, publisher, and other console-specific details from ROM headers and file names.

This library supports a range of console ROMs, including but not limited to NES, SNES, N64, Sega Master System, Game Gear, Game Boy, Game Boy Advance, Sega Genesis, and Sega CD. It can also handle ROMs packaged as ZIP or CHD (Compressed Hunks of Data) archives.

The primary entry point for analysis is the analyze_rom_data function, which takes a file path and returns a RomAnalysisResult enum containing console-specific analysis data.
