I found this layout to be the best for my mame cab. Is there any way I can add info about total games quantity and category name, like in other layouts?

Open the layout.nut file, find the line with the

Code: [Select]

fe.add_text( "[Category]" ... )
change the part that says "[Category]" to "[ListEntry]/[ListSize] [Category]"

It works thanks, however I want to use those categories seperate, and put it on the upper side in layout, like left and right under the cabinet animations.
The only thing I lack is to understand how I can check desired place parameters. For example typing: img = fe.add_image( name, x, y, w, h ), how can I check what are my desired x/ y, w, h parameters?

x,y of 0,0 is the top left corner,

1024,768 on a layout with a width and height of 1024x768 is the bottom right corner
