@creepertron95 Hi. About paper icon. Will be good centered logo on horizontal & vertical too.
See example:
image
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
image
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 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.)

3ds-max

Also as i know 3ds mime for 3D Studio it's legacy format... maybe now not used?

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.

Hi all. I'm hoping to work on this soon, and I'm planning to make a stab at the Sega console icons. I already have some related PRs for different machines in the queue: #3882, #3885, #3891.

I don't suppose @varlesh and @maxtron95 still have their Sega ROM icons anywhere? Those look really nice, especially the Dreamcast and Saturn ones.

When we're looking at manufacturer wordmarks, they always seem to be too wide for comfort in a portrait icon, or would just make it too cluttered. I don't even want to abstract out the "MD" or "G" from the Mega Drive / Game Gear logo, but that's more because no-one can agree on the name and either choice would be wrong for 50% of people. I'll just have to use the Sega "S" if there's no useful iconography I can redraw from the manufacturers, but I'll try to do some justice to anything with a good square logo 💪

Colour choice is annoying for Sega consoles, if you're trying to reflect the colour of the console itself. Why did they all have to be glossy black? (sigh.)

I think my TODO list is as follows. Any more?

  • application-x-sg1000-rom
  • application-x-sms-rom
  • application-x-gamegear-rom
  • application-x-genesis-rom
    • application-x-genesis-32x-rom
    • application-x-sega-cd-rom
  • application-x-saturn-rom
  • application-x-dreamcast-rom

By the way, if anyone's looking for a compatibly licensed and consistent collection of good vector icons for consoles and other things you can emulate, you might be interested in what the RetroArch project's doing. Their monochrome and FlatUX sets are especially good.

I tried integrating those into Papirus, but the results were pretty cluttered in the document template, and they're difficult to get pixel perfect after scaling. I like the idea of abstracting out just details of the controllers still, though, perhaps just the buttons, or whatever is memorable about the joypad? But maybe a bunch of dots and crosses would be too abstract... 😅

For now, I'll try and build stuff with logo elements (either the console itself like the nice N64 icon in Papirus, or from the manufacturer's one, like the Atari icons)

That's the Sega ones done (#3894). Now there's just

  • MSX (*.msx, application/x-msx-rom)
  • Neo Geo Pocket (*.mgp with magic, application/x-neo-geo-pocket-rom)
  • Neo Geo Pocket Color (*.ngc with magic, application/x-neo-geo-pocket-color-rom)

They look pretty simple to redraw, and all the suggestions look good. I'll work on them shortly.
