Description

Many of us use compressed PBP files for PS1 games with libretro.

Is there already a way to account for this in libretro-database?

If not, I'm wondering if we could update the dat files to support that?

Possibly we would add another field so the image field would have to be changed.
Possibly call it "compressed_image" or something like that?

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing .dat files and how their current image field is represented. Determine how PBP files should be represented and whether a separate field is needed; done means the data format supports PS1 PBP images without breaking existing entries.
