Some code that does graphics loads graphics from "disk" before displaying it on neopixels/RGBPanels/TFT.
You are probably familiar with the "diskless" method that adafruit uses in
https://github.com/ChrisMicro/ArduinoOnPc/blob/master/examples/Adafruit_pictureDragon/Adafruit_pictureDragon.h
When doing animated gifs, we can do better.
On teensy, people read from sdcard
On ESP8266, ESP32 the more common way to do this is FatFS (which now replaces SPIFFS) from flash.
https://github.com/marcmerlin/AnimatedGIFs
supports all 3 methods.
If you want to see an example of API use, see:
https://github.com/marcmerlin/AnimatedGIFs/blob/master/FilenameFunctions.cpp
I think it would be best to emulate the ESP32 File API (the ESP8266 is a bit weird), so you can ignore the #ifdef FSOSD (filesystem object SDcard) an any ifdef ESP8266.

And if you're wondering, yes, it's nice to emulate that code on PC, but it's even better to be able to run arduino code on Raspeberry Pi (which I can now do thanks to your code) on X11 using your driver (even if it's a bit slow as per #6 ) via my glue driver https://github.com/marcmerlin/FastLED_TFTWrapper_GFX or my new RGBPanel glue driver, which I just wrote: https://github.com/marcmerlin/FastLED_RPIRGBPanel_GFX
