Game Play Timer Plugin
|
||
======================
|
||
|
||
The timer plugin records the total time spent emulating each combination of a
|
||
system and a software list item, as well as the number of times each combination
|
||
has been launched. To see the statistics, bring up the main menu (press **Tab**
|
||
during emulation by default), choose **Plugin Options**, and then choose
|
||
**Timer**.
|
||
|
||
This plugin records wall clock time (the real time duration elapsed while
|
||
emulation is running, according to the host OS) as well as emulated time. The
|
||
elapsed wall clock time may be shorter than the elapsed emulated time if you
|
||
turn off throttling or use MAME’s “fast forward” feature, or it may be longer
|
||
than the elapsed emulated time if you pause the emulation of if the emulation is
|
||
too demanding to run at full speed.
|
||
|
||
The statistics are stored in the file **timer.db** in the **timer** folder
|
||
inside your plugin data folder (see the
|
||
:ref:`homepath option <mame-commandline-homepath>`). The file is a SQLite3
|
||
database.
