Emulator doesn't load game don't know how to view logs

sirkreuab

I exited emulation station
Typed nano/dev/shm/runcommand.log

It brought me to gnu nano 2.6
There are options at the bottom for things like read ^R
Or ^X exit

Typing ^r or ^x does nothing
Adding it to the end after .log^r
Does nothing

Typing emulation station does nothing and now I'm stuck here :(

Thanks for trying to help btw

sirkreuab

Oh wait I'm stupid looks like that means control plus r

There appears to be no text in the log

AlexMurphy

@sirkreuab You need to be aware of where spaces are used and NOT used. There is NO space in emulationstation one word. There IS a space between nano and the file path

AlexMurphy

@sirkreuab You need to actually run or at least attempt to run something for the log to be populated.

sirkreuab

Sorry that was a typo I tried emulationstation I'm typing this on my phone and autocorrect sucks sorry

AlexMurphy

@sirkreuab Well, that's going to cause confusion. You need to ensure what you are posting here is exactly what you are entering or you are just muddying the waters.

sirkreuab

Right so am I running the rom by opening it in the dreamcast emulator ?
I go to dreamcast go to project justice and launch the rom and then it goes back to dreamcast after the emulated option screen

AlexMurphy

@sirkreuab by the way, you you actually have the Dreamcast BIOS files installed?

AlexMurphy

@sirkreuab So, now press F4 to go to command line and enter nano /dev etc...

sirkreuab

I do have the bios I have other roms that work f4 does nothing on my keyboard I'm trying to find where my key binds are set in retarch to see why

That's why I closed es
To get to command prompt
The image came with preset key binds

sirkreuab

I can't find the keybinds menu sorry i suck at this I know I've seen it because urn makes me press select and n to cycle shaders

AlexMurphy

@sirkreuab I'll be honest, pre-made images are not supported on this forum. I thought I would try and help but if what I'm telling you to do doesn't work with your image then I can't help you. I am basing my support on the official RetroPie image. If yours is different, I'm sorry but I really can't assist. I don't know how "Rey" has configured this image or controls. Btw, Reicast (Dreamcast Emulator) is not a RetroArch emulator, you won't find that menu. Anyway, good luck, perhaps ask "Rey" for assistance.

BuZz

@sirkreuab https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first - use an official image.

I only tried the cdi version of Project Justice and that works fine. Try that. If it doesn't, then get a clean version and don't be lazy next time with these custom images.

sirkreuab

@Darksavior
Thanks for trying I don't know why f4 does nothing
I have the cdi but it won't load into manager

Darksavior

@sirkreuab I've never used the manager. I use flashfxp (or winscp) to transfer wired or wirelessly.

sirkreuab

Hey thanks really winscp on the cdi did the trick guess I'll use that to transfer roms

Also my f4 works fine turns out this wifi keyboard the Logitech k400 plus defaults the f keys to shortcuts and not function keys unless you toggle them with function
Which is hella stupid lol

Everything seems great thanks!
