# RetroDECK Debug Mode
It's possible to enter a debug mode via the flatpak shell.
```
flatpak run --command=bash net.retrodeck.retrodeck
```
NOTE: on wayland in some cases it's needed to enter with the command above otherwise some emulators will not run:
```
flatpak run --command=sh --nosocket=fallback-x11 --socket=x11 net.retrodeck.retrodeck
```
### Launch ES-DE in Debug Mode:
```
es-de --debug --home /var/config/emulationstation
or
es-de --debug --home /var/config/ES-DE
```
### List runnable components in Debug Mode
You cam list all the available components via the command:
```
ls /app/bin
```
### How to run a component?
Just type the compoants name directly into the flatpak shell CLI.
Example:
- `retrodeck` launches full RetroDECK.
You can also launch specific components by running them, example:
- `retroarch` launches RetroArch.
This is useful when for example a game is not starting and you want the output printed in the terminal.
### Run a component with a specific game or content
The easiest way is to run the `retrodeck` command. Launch RetroDECK and go into the ES-DE interface and try to launch the game from there.
In the terminal ES-DE will spit out the total runnable path to that game or content.
