The +time code log file is *only* created when making an input recording. The time +code log file has the same name as the input recording file with the extension +**.timecode** appended. Use the :ref:`record <mame-commandline-record>` and +:ref:`input_directory <mame-commandline-inputdirectory>` options to create an +input recording and specify the location for the output files. + +By default, the plugin records a time code when you press the **F12** key on the +keyboard while not pressing either **Shift** or **Alt** key. You can change +this setting in the options menu for the plugin (choose **Plugin Options** from +the main menu during emulation, and then choose **Timecode Recorder**). + +Settings for the plugin are stored in JSON format in the file **plugin.cfg** in +the **timecode** folder inside your plugin data folder (see the +:ref:`homepath option <mame-commandline-homepath>`). |
