Rebase log

Every rebase writes a log to:

%LOCALAPPDATA%\RomStationRebase\logs\RSR_yyyymmdd_hhmmss.log

The name carries the date and time of the start. The thirty most recent logs are kept.


The log window

Rebase log

Show log, at the bottom of the rebase window, opens the log of the running rebase, or the most recent one. The window stays usable while the rebase runs, and stays open after the rebase window is closed.

  • Filter: only shows the lines that contain the typed text
  • Warnings and errors only: hides the information lines
  • Follow: keeps the last line on screen. Scrolling up with the wheel turns it off
  • Open…: shows an older log
  • Open folder: shows the file in Explorer

The selected line is shown in full under the list. Selected lines are copied with Ctrl+C.

Log filtered on one game

What the log contains

  • The configuration: RSRebase version, destination, architecture, settings of the rebase window, external tools
  • The plan: each file with its source, its destination and its size
  • Every step with its time: files copied, extracted, converted or skipped, retries, metadata, summary
  • For a conversion: the command line and what the tool printed
  • For a failure: the full error message, with the same error code as the Error column of the table

File format

UTF-8 text, one line per event, three tab-separated fields:

2026-09-20 12:00:52.431	INFO	Alundra (Playstation): started
2026-09-20 12:01:07.902	INFO	.Alundra/Alundra.cue: written in 15.4 s
2026-09-20 12:01:08.115	WARN	images/Alundra-image.png: cover not copied. Access denied [RSR-5002]

Levels are INFO, WARN and ERROR. Messages are written in the language of the interface.


Reporting a problem

Attach the log to an issue about a rebase that went wrong. It contains paths from the computer: read it through before attaching it.

If RSRebase closes on an unexpected error, the detail is written to a RSR_crash_….txt file in the same logs folder.
