- [x] I have read and followed the [Coding Guidelines](https://git.eden-emu.dev/eden-emu/eden/src/branch/master/docs/policies/Coding.md) to the best of my ability.

-------------------

just some adjustments for #4482 as instructed by lizzie.

-replace static zstd content with atmosphere's repo version;
-replace void pointer types with spans
-remove unused overload
