Hi,

i how do you create retroarch logs in android?

i have seen hunterk’s signature but can’t figure this out on android.

In Android, you need to use logcat, either through an app (I’ve used .logcat [notice the ‘dot’ in front], which is free) or through adb debugging. Android barfs out a lot of status messages, but all of the lines pertaining to RetroArch will start with the word ‘RetroArch’, and most logcat apps will have a field where you can enter a keyword and it will only show lines that contain that keyword.

Thanks

I can’t get on the shield so I thought I would go the hard way with android studio!

i can connect over wifi now after a lot of googling! It’s saying unauthorised. Think I need to enable usb debugging then hopefully I can get some logs.

I have a Shield ATV and I had to connect it over USB first and then it would let me do wifi debugging.

yep just done that and all working now. run the logcat command just gotta figure the filter and option syntax or point it to a text file.

Getting there
