Do the songs come out randomly or only the one you put in the layout comes out? Is there a way to put several and play them randomly or in order? Cada vez me gusta mas ;D

The songs are random. The only you need is to put sound files(mp3,mp4,ogg, etc...) in the music folder inside the theme folder , then the plugin scan the directory, stores in a array every sound file and then reproduces it with a random generated order. Its just the AudioMode Plugin.

question how is it your able to show how many games are in each system?

didn't think this was possible yet,,

Yes its possible thanks to the file() module:
The theme launch a code that reads every single romlist.txt from your romlist folder, count the lines and then storing the number of lines in a array (each line/game is a entry of the array), OFC the system ignores the lines that start with #.

Then the code writes a lane in the system.txt romlist, in the ;tag; of rating. With a foreach loop, the theme gets how many lines are in each system (how many strings in each array), then put a +1 for each line scanned, and finally writes the number of lines (equal to games) in the system.txt ;rating; tag (ignoring too the lines that start with #).

When this is done, the number of games becomes a tag that can be called with the magic token [Rating] or a function to get the game_info(Info.Rating).

Looking that the theme is becoming to get some interest for the fellow users of this community, i make another video, this time showing how works the function to count games, make romlists and extract overviews and GAME GENRES/CATEGORIES without a catver.ini file, using a MAME folder only with ROMS, nothing more.

Hope you like it!

Very good thing about translating the xml to AM roomlist. I don't think you added it but you can put scrolling backgrounds? it would be very cool. Another thing is if the wheel part can be changed to different views, for example to show the covers instead of the wheels or to have a list with names. De todas formas esta muy chulo👌😉

-Possibility to enable/disable entire categories.
-New algorithm that stores the stats dinamically and makes the display Stats to load instant.
-New option to scan counters once and then updates it dinamically.
-Added Portugese, French and German languages.

Hi Jaski, your layout is impressive, if there is still a possibility of beta tested for a French user, I will be delighted!  8)

Just bumping the theme to let people know that the proyect is alive!

I need betatesters if someone is interested.

Would be amazing if the testers had some of that languages:
English (native), portuguese, french, or german.

I can certainly beta test it if you're looking for someone that's English proficient running in portrait mode.

hey, this is excellent work. I have a question, where did you get the roms overviews in Spanish? or did you translate one by one?
