      Yo, sorry if my english is not prefect but i'm french

      I really like a game from my childhood and decided I wanted to play it again so I chose RetroPie. The game is called Hydro Thunder. But as soon as I launch the game (regardless of the platform), it shows me /dev/shm/runcommand.log.
      I tried a lot of things but nothing worked. How should I do it ?

        You'll have to be more specific - which game version are you trying to run and on which platform ?

        But as soon as I launch the game (regardless of the platform), it shows me /dev/shm/runcommand.log.

        That's the runcommand launch screen, it's not an error, it appears when you launch any game.

        I tried a lot of things but nothing worked. How should I do it ?

        You should provide your system info, as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first, including which platform/system are you using, what emulator you're launching (it's shown on the launch screen) and the name of the ROM.

              Is the 3B+ powerful enough to run that?

                This looks like an incorrect ROM file - game tries to start, but the ROM is not right. How large is the ROM file and what is its the name ?

                    The ROM should be about 33Mb (unzipped). If the rom is zipped, then unzip it.
