IMHO something is fishy in your install here.
/usr/share/mime/application/x-genesis-rom.xml is generated from:
/usr/share/mime/packages/freedesktop.org.xml by the
update-mime-database tool
for "Genesis ROM" the glob pattern="*.gen" is set and
as well as the "magic" patterns:
match value="SEGA" type="string" offset="256"
match value="EAGN" type="string" offset="640"
match value="EAMG" type="string" offset="640"
Just how are your "text/markdown", glob pattern="*.md" files
"discovered" as "Genesis ROM" ??
Eitherway,
to disable the future creation of the file:
/usr/share/mime/application/x-genesis-rom.xml
you have to comment out the relevant section in:
/usr/share/mime/packages/freedesktop.org.xml
then remove /usr/share/mime/application/x-genesis-rom.xml
and run the update-mime-database as root.
Be aware, future updates of the file:
/usr/share/mime/packages/freedesktop.org.xml
will re-enable the application/x-genesis-rom mime-type.
