Logging

FS-UAE logs some information by default to log files which may aid in investigating issues. The location of the log files, fs-uae.log.txt and fs-uae-launcher.log.txt, may vary slightly from system to system:

• The log files are generally found in (My) Documents/FS-UAE/Cache/Logs.
• If you are using the portable version, they’ll be in Cache/Logs within the portable directory.
• On Linux, might also find them in ~/FS-UAE/Cache/Logs if XDG_DOCUMENTS_DIR is not set.

Including log files when reporting an issue

When reporting issues with FS-UAE or FS-UAE Launcher, you may be asked to provide log files to help debugging the problem (or clear up any misunderstandings). Some important things to consider:

• Before attaching the log files, you must quit FS-UAE and/or FS-UAE Launcher. If not, the log files may be incomplete.
• The log files are recreated each time you start the program. So when reporting a problem, you must ensure that you experienced the problem on the last run of the program.

If you’re reporting a problem on the English Amiga Board forum it’s easy to include the log files. When writing a reply or creating a thread, you can attach the log files to the post.

If you are asked to send log files by e-mail, please send to frode@fs-uae.net.
