Please make sure your log link is spelled correctly. The website is
0x0.st, and the filename is case-sensitiveambitious-aquaOP•3mo ago
Ok I fixed it
like-gold•3mo ago
the link does not work
the domain should use the number
0, not the letter o, and something is missing from the rest because replacing the o with 0 shows an error pageambitious-aquaOP•3mo ago

I think I have a little bit of an idea and guess the script shouldn't be run as the root user
I see the same error when I try to run vampires the masquerade
Some more information would be. I'm running this on a old iMac with an AMD card so the exe might be the problem
But that's as far as my knowledge goes, I'm an entry level it support and trying to learn Linux lol
Again, the website is
0x0.st (zero-x-zero), not OxO.st
Correcting that, the link now works: https://0x0.st/KXuu.log
(12:07:37) [INFO]: Game Output: ERROR: This script should never be run as the root userThat sounds pretty concrete. Last I checked Batocera packages Heroic in a very weird way

Ahh ok sorry about that.
Hmm I'll check there doc to see if they address this. If I find something, I'll let you know ☺️
Some of their docs mention installing the Flatpak version of Heroic (which I'd very much recommend), although the advice there is also a little dodgy. I'll install the distro on a spare laptop and dig around a little

Thank you, I'm on the discord of batocera unofficial add ons, where I downloaded heroic seeing if they know
Well, first off, the decision of having background music blare at you at 100% volume by default sure is... a decision
Playing around a bit, seems like you can use Flatpak like normal. So what I'd recommend is: Install Heroic using Flatpak, then create a menu entry for it in ES (not sure how that works, but I'm sure someone can do it)

I have speakers that controls the volume lol I'll give this a try and let you know if I get this to work. Thank you so much for your help!
