Saving debugger output to a file
Hi. I've been using WinUAE's debugger to log audio register data using watch points. Something like:
w 0 dff0a2 8 W L gets me the basic info I need for a channel, then I've got another for vblank updates to sync the timing. As you know Window's console buffer size has a hard limit so I can only get about 20 seconds of data before it wraps around. I saw a couple of search results about piping debugger info out to a text file using pipe\WinUAE. Is that something I can make use of here? Or would I be better off making a local build of the emulator and adding what I need to that? I guess this is quite an unconventional use case for the debugger. thanks. |

Easiest solution probably is to add option (debugger option or command line) that automatically writes all debugger output to winuaelog.txt.

That would be just great!! I'll be another user of that feature. Or change "L" by "P" (print to console), and when "L" is set print and log to logfile.

Out of interest, is this planned for the new 5.0 versions?
I use this kind of output when writing music drivers. It's quite nice to get a full song output on the emulator side to study later. |

The best method for your case could be using a command line pipe to redirect the output to a text file. You could use the command `WinUAE > output.txt` in a Command Prompt window to direct the debugger's output to the file `output.txt`. This approach should work irrespective of the emulator's version and would help you gather data without worrying about console buffer size limitations.

Yes, I've had various goes at piping the data out but only had success getting the bootlog.

-conlogfile <path to file> command line parameter writes all console output to a file. (winuae.7z feature only, warning: winuae.7z's after last official can be more dangerous than usually
 )
