Is it possible ES to log in real time which game it opens.

Hello guys.

Pi Model or other hardware: (RaspberryPi 4B 2GB)
Power Supply used: (official Raspberry Pi power supply)
RetroPie Version Used (4.8 RPI 4/400):
Built From: (Raspberry PI imager v1.7.5)
USB Devices connected: Two 8bitDo SN30 controllers connected with USB.
MicroHD devices: Two Arzopa portable monutors Gamut G1.

THE GOAL:
I need to know which game is started the moment it is selected. Again before writing here I did my fair share of research and I was able to find the following.

To start with I'm mostly interested in retroarch logging because the games I am interested use its cores on 100% (e.g sega/nes/snes/32x )

OBSERVED RESULT:
I enabled verbose logging, I see the logs but I cannot find any option to make it log "always" and not "on exit" , the logs that I found are stored here

/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/logs

and even though I need only the runtime information of which game is opened, I can find it in the log.

I see ES has logging setting "always" and I see that the ES log also has information about which game it runs in

/opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/es_log.txt

however the actual game attempted to run is logged after I exit the retroarch. Maybe it waits for the retroarch log to be created on retroarch exit and takes it from there?

DESIRED RESULT:
I would like somehow to make retroarch / es to show me in the logs which game is attempted to be run the moment I run it.

I have read that it stores it in memory during runtime, if there is no option to make it log during runtime, is there any way to read it from memory instead ? Also is there any mode where I can only know the "runtime" tagged logs instead of all of them?

Any help is appreciated and thank you all in advance.

Please delete this topic when you can and sorry for the spam here. It seems that I overlooked the beginning of the log for whatever reason. I have all information I need with the default verbose logging.

Sorry again.
