ROMs not loadable from non-ASCII file paths

[lesserkuma]

System used:
Windows 11 23H2

Build used:
https://github.com/melonDS-emu/melonDS/actions/runs/7586469528

Problem:
Can't load ROMs from a path including characters that are not native to the operating system language.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Rename a confirmed working ROM file to something like あああ.nds, or copy it into a directory path with such non-ASCII characters.
2. Try to load it with melonDS via any means (File → Open ROM..., Drag & Drop, or Command Line).
3. Error message "Failed to load the ROM." appears.

was already fixed a few days after 0.9.5 release. See #1556

Ah thanks! I couldn't find it via search.

I tested it on this build btw., should the fix not be implemented into it?

yes

Hmm, the issue is definitely still there with this build from January 19th, 2024. Or it's a different issue, I'm not sure.

looks like it is a regression. I just tested it and it used to work.
