Description
First and foremost consider this:
- Only RetroArch bugs should be filed here. Not core bugs or game bugs
- This is not a forum or a help section, this is strictly developer oriented
Reason for request
This reddit post and other content-load related issues would be easier to troubleshoot if verbose logs included more information about the content file(s).
Expected behavior
Verbose logs should include additional detail regarding content files on (attempted) load, including filesize and the results of any heuristics (if applicable).
Actual behavior
Verbose logs only show the path and filename of the content file.

Research direction
Start by reproducing an attempted content load with verbose logging and trace the existing log line that reports the content path and filename. Identify the content-loading and heuristic paths involved; done means verbose logs include the content filesize and applicable heuristic results.
