I have to be honest, I don't see any advantage to doing that. They're only named that way in Retroarch for sorting and grouping purposes, and you can change how they're displayed in the setting to shorten them and change how they're grouped/ordered to your liking.I've been thinking a about the platform titles for the Retro section, and, just a suggestion, but maybe it would be better if the platforms would be named with their full titles just like RetroArch and Retroachievements does, for example:
PS1 to be Sony - PlayStation instead
NES to be Nintendo - Nintendo Entertainment System
GB to be Nintendo - Game Boy instead
N64 to be Nintendo - Nintendo 64
Master System to be Sega - Master System
Genesis to be Sega - Mega Drive - Genesis
And so on...
The idea is for the platforms to be named as they are handled by default for RetroArch and Retroachivements which would avoid confusion, even though some would lose consistency like there being PS3, PS4 and PS5, but also Sony - PlayStation from Retro section. But at the same time, they would be true to how the RA service handles them.

Just a quick suggestion though, i personally think there's pros and cons in both ways of handling this matter.
Thanks. But it will be nice if all names of the plataforms are equal with the original names.Should be listed under just "Genesis"
Probably should change to Sega Genesis though, to stay consistent with the others.
