@varlesh What do you think of these Sega ROM mimetypes?

[varlesh]

Fine

[varlesh]

I mean only Sega CD or if SEGA have name on mime. Other icons better use from that template: Sorry i'm confused with that more roms))

[varlesh]

or maybe sega cd use inverted version

[varlesh]

@creepertron95 You are right on Suggestions. Only little fixes

• Sega Genesis

• Suggestion: Use S

• SG-1000

• Suggestion: Use red S or white S on red background (SG-1000 hard draw for little sizes)

[varlesh]

Please sorry ...initially i'm not understand you. You are right on suggestions. I can draw some icons

[varlesh]

@creepertron95 16px/32px/64px mime on templates wrong, it's bug... right size 32 = 28x22 (or nearby) right size 64 = 56x44 (or nearby) right size 16 = 16x13 (or nearby)

[varlesh]

@creepertron95 don't worry, i'm fix this later

[varlesh]

mimes need draw as apps sizes.... but initially it' was with wrong sizes. It's old bug

[varlesh]

it's fixed templates mimetypes.tar.gz

[varlesh]

@creepertron95 Hi. About paper icon. Will be good centered logo on horizontal & vertical too. See example: Green square its area for center logo. It's temporary square will be deleted after manipulations. On right panel you can enable sticking to corners & stick with pads centers Now move logo with mouse on green square and it will stick Don't forget about pixel align Main priority - it's horizontal center... but vertical important too Sometime logo have not good sizes, i know it. And not allways we can draw all logos in center... but we will try)))

[varlesh]

Nintendo 3DS roms conflict with image/x-3ds mimetype (3D Studio image): https://reposcope.com/mimetype/image/x-3ds I fix that...

Also i'm not found info about Nintendo Switch ROM's, only XCI not merged PR (openned 2 years ago): https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xdg/shared-mime-info/-/merge_requests/3 Not available NSP & NSZ too

[varlesh]

@creepertron95 Also i'm added other icon names for Wii roms on your msg

[varlesh]

Now it's not similar, but not confused 3D Studio users:

[maxtron95]

@varlesh If that is the 3D Studio filetype (aka 3DS Max), then should the filetype use the 3D Studio Max logo instead? (It's also the filetype of a 3D model type used in 3DS Max and other 3D software programs.)

[varlesh]

Sure...My opinion, it's hack nintendo rom only. I think mimetipes not right detect: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xdg/shared-mime-info/-/blob/master/tests/mime-detection/3ds-tloz-mm.3ds Also as i know 3ds mime for 3D Studio it's legacy format... maybe now not used? http://fileformats.archiveteam.org/wiki/3DS

[maxtron95]

@varlesh Should we include the mimetypes for other retro computer systems here as well? (Apple, Atari ST, Amiga)

[varlesh]

@creepertron95 at your request. It's not critical))

[maxtron95]

OK, but, I probably will include Atari ST, I have the Hatari emulator installed and it introduces 4 new mimetypes we don't have in the theme yet.

N64 roms are using .iso mime type icon, someting that is strange because Nintendo 64 use cartridge. The N64 rom are .n64 and .z65 . Both files are only used for nintendo 64 emulators.

.z64 file type. .n64 file type

My sugestion of design:

Nintendo 64 logo vector .svg:

My sugestions for .gb and .gbc

Gameboy (.gb) vector images svg:

Gameboy Color (.gbc) vector images svg:

Obs: ".gb" and ".gbc" are mainly used for emulation. ".gb" is used by outdated genetic scientific program on windows. https://fileinfo.com/extension/gb
