Viewing number of roms per category ?

[cyke64]

Hello HT,
I'm sorry but I would like to view how many roms are stored by categories of system instead of simply knowing total size of roms !
I know how many roms in total for ALL systems but not in details for each system (example : how many roms are available in the NES subcategory ?)
If you can compute size in bytes per category you could give us also this useful info.
I hope you add this info soon
thank you

Within the website code I am unable to do this. the next version of the website that we are working on will allow users to view the roms section by the systems and not just the manufacturers. This will create a huge list of over 450 systems but it would be a great feature I think.

If you are urgent for this I could do it from my local roms folder which I use to create the website from.

Thank you for this quick answer.
Listing roms by category instead of system could be easier to find your favorite game system. But I think that the more important for any site user is knowing how many roms your site has saved for the NES than knowing ALL roms for NES in your site need 50 GB of disk space !
When a visitor see your site for the first time he know your site has plenty of roms on plenty of game system but he doesn't know how many of roms for his favourite system like on many less interesting similar sites ! So he could find another site where there less NES roms but at least he know the number of roms ...
When will the new site be online ?
It's kind of you but now I know your site is the older and the best on the web for all roms so I am going to wait for the new site !
Thank you

We are working on the new site and it may be ready.by next year. It is important to note that we have so many roms over such a long time that our numbers will always Be different than other sites.

posting roms count by system is a good idea,i vote yes for this.
