# Submitting a bug report
When submitting a bug report, make sure that the bug is local to RetroArch.
A bug in a libretro core or something deemed to be external is likely to be closed very fast.
If you still suspect a bug in RetroArch, make sure to test with several cores to make sure.
If you have troubles building RetroArch on Linux/BSD/OSX, make sure to paste shell output of ./configure,
as well as config.log and shell output of make. If building on Windows, just paste shell output of make.
If the issue occurs during runtime, make sure to paste RetroArch's verbose log.
If using Phoenix frontend, you can find log in (File -> Show Log) after running.
In console, make sure to run with verbose (-v) flag.
# Pull Requests
Outside contributions are generally only accepted in the form of a pull request. The process is very simple.
