To be honest I'm not sure if the metadata actually matters much or not (I've never had to ultra-optimize like this before), but I just ran it through a PNG size optimizer and let it figure it out haha.
Back in the day it mattered (metadata) a lot, but mostly because you used lots of images (because of memory defragmentation, so we used only 1 big image, the splash screen shown only at startup, then it was smaller images), and each had those maybe 30 or 150 bytes (IIRC) so it added up.
