where are the stella logs

[jgrillout]

I'm new to Stella. I see you can pass command line options. the ones i'm interested in are 

stella -logtoconsole <1|0>
stella -loglevel <0|1|2>

 

I'm not sure how to pass those parameters. I tried

 

stella -logtoconsole=1 -loglevel=2

 

stella ran but  I don't know where the log is. It isn't showing messages in the terminal I launched from. I don't see more than usual messages in the Stella prompt window or the developers  screen tabs or options -->system log

Logtoconsole indicates that the log is directed to the screen.  Reading the documentation, Stella does not automatically send a log to a file.  You access the log through the user interface where you can save to file.

Sorry, looking at this again.  Try it without the equal sign.  E.g. stella -logtoconsole 1

Other command switches definitely work.  Not sure if -logtoconsole is broken or the console screen is misssing.

Maybe I'm approaching this wrong. What I really want to do is step through the code when I move a player object into a wall on the play field. when I trigger the stella debug the arrow keys are not affecting the game. I suppose the stella debug interface window intercepts the arrow keys instead of passing them to the game.

It is possible to use the controllers from within the debugger interface, it is in the I/O tab below:
