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**.
|
||
|
||
Note that this plugin records wall clock time, not emulated time. That is, it
|
||
records the real time duration elapsed while the emulation is running, according
|
||
to the host OS. This 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.
