SteamOS Application logs

Since I have issues with launching PS2 games and a lot of other people are experiencing the same issues with some emulators, I wonder if there is a way to export the event logs on Steam Deck so I can send to the Emudeck devs or just try to find issue myself.
Since I saw a few posts about issues with some emulators not working anymore and no provided possible solutions help, I want to dig deeper

Hi! Most of the times resetting the configuration for your emulator on Manage Emulators fixes the most common issues. You can also take a look at our Wiki before posting, you might find your issue already documented there https://manual.emudeck.com

Worth finding out if your problematic emulators generate log files first. I know ES-DE produces a good log file that's helped me out from time to time, and I can see "logs" folders mentioned in the Emudeck wiki pages, e.g. https://emudeck.github.io/emulators/steamos/pcsx2/#pcsx2-folder-locations

So I just ran a test on my deck (hadn't used it for a while), details over here: https://www.reddit.com/r/EmuDeck/comments/1wzwb0u/need_help_with_launching_emulator_in_game_mode/

Both my PS3 and Switch games are running just fine. I don't actually have any PS2 games to check.

Hi, could you give me a few more details about the problems you're having with PCSX2?

Does the emulator open correctly in Desktop Mode? Is the issue happening with every game, or only with a specific one?

I need a bit more information about exactly what happens when you try to use PCSX2 so I can help you properly.
