Hi
Thank you for answering! I won't to make some clarifications too:
1. You can't discuss math counts. You can discuss if the filter you apply is right or wrong, but once this filter is chosen and confirmed to give the right results, the count is the SAME for everybody...
2. Using 1. as a guideline, I here post the output of a small Python UI that reads OFFICIAL mame xml. The filter applied you can see in the 2nd column. So do we agree we both have the same input (mame xml) and output (a count of machines)?
Well, then both of you are wrong in some cases. Compare the counts with my screenshot. I checked it 100 times and I believe my counts are correct.
3. All sample data, the file names and if a machine uses samples, is 100% defined in mame xml. And the only thing you need to count are machines having "sampleof" XML attribute.
Some of those games don't have "sample" tag but that doesn't matter, the machine gets his samples from the romset listed after "sampleof="
4. Ciro, can you check why in some cases you have 1 count more (or very similar) then me? Maybe your frontend counts the appearance of a search string inside the XML DTD, which lists each XML tag or attribute ONCE too?
If anybody sees a mistake in my counts too, please let me know!
kind regards
Valentina
