Retro Go won't progress past the loading screen

[6kevz45]

When building the .img file to then flash it to the esp32s3-devkit-c (with the ili9341 screen), it stays on the hourglass screen, without advancing.

Also, if it helps, when I run the command "python rg_tool.py --port=/dev/ttyUSB0 flash prboom-go" I get this error:

=== Step: Flashing ===

To find out why you're stuck on the the hourglass you would need to check the serial log as a first step. Any serial console will do but you can also use rg_tool.py monitor or idf.py monitor.

The second problem seems to be a serial issue but I'm assuming that you've flashed your .img over usb from the same computer? Did you use esptool.py directly? The first thing I would try is use a lower baudrate, eg python rg_tool.py --port=/dev/ttyUSB0 --baud=115200 flash prboom-go. If it works you can try your way up using multiples of 115200. I believe esptool.py uses 921600 by default.
