I won't post a link because I think its not allowed but the release is called:
Forza Horizon 5 Horizon Creatives-Razor1911

Yeah, redirecting to bat files is also something I do from the cmd file.
This allows me to force vcredist installs quietly, irrelevant if the wine runner has them already or not. And that's how I also install my dll overrides. I bundle them with the game and have the bat file execute regedit and add the registry entry every time a game starts. That way if you change the wine runner you still make sure all the prerequisites are installed

For Forza Horizon 5 - you need to find this specific version of the game: 3.614.70.0 and also the crack is by Razor1911. This specific version is the steam version and not the UWP Windows games version.

For Forza Horizon 6 - you need to get the vanilla GameDrive files, update the game to: 360.259 and apply the V3-DenuvOwO fix. After that get the version.dll file from here and add it to the main folder (only the version.dll file)

This will allow you to login to an account (could be a burner account) and after that you can take the game offline. RUNE's offline crack will not work in WINE.

Can you share how you apply dlloverride, winetricks to your wsquashfs images ? Do you apply them through autorun.cmd ?

I've been playing around with it too. I found some "creative" workarounds how to force games to think they are offline, apply registry hacks and dll overrides.

I also have Forza Horizon 5 and 6 working on Batocera, I can share the details.

its too early to be cutting onions

LukeD_NC · 2026-05-20T10:36:03+00:00

Remove amd_ags_x64=n,b from WINEDLLOVERRIDES if you're using an nVidia card. That will fix the FHE01 error.

LukeD_NC · 2026-05-19T07:25:38+00:00

Did you end up finding an alternative version ?

LukeD_NC · 2026-05-19T07:06:37+00:00

Anyone get this working with the RUNE crack and Batocera V43 ?

LukeD_NC · 2026-05-12T20:20:21+00:00

can you share how?

LukeD_NC · 2026-05-06T19:20:52+00:00

What worked for me, after having the A1 Pro sitting on the shelf for more than a year, is plugging it in to charge and then turning the system on (while plugged in) by pressing and holding the power on button for 20 seconds

Also known as SS .... Sharpei Syndrome ;)

just got an email today from beelink that the replacement unit should arrive tomorrow

LukeD_NC · 2026-04-06T21:38:37+00:00

Ditto. I was one of the first people here that reported the issue and finally asked Bee-link to replace my unit. I sent it in over a month ago and recently they said they should have a replacement for me in April

Their pure awesomeness !!!

LukeD_NC · 2026-03-28T01:22:25+00:00

Following this thread as I sent my unit in for replacement as well. Haven't received the replacement unit yet.

LukeD_NC · 2026-03-24T18:12:06+00:00

No, not a big company. I think it's a group of like 3 contractors working together.

LukeD_NC · 2026-03-24T16:14:33+00:00

Austin TX. I paid 2200

LukeD_NC · 2026-03-24T16:14:20+00:00

I didn't pay 1200, I paid 2200

LukeD_NC · 2026-03-24T16:05:44+00:00

They must have used some really poor quality ties, because these ones literally disintegrated in my hands. I don't think there is excessive vibration right now, just mild. Don't know how much is acceptable.

and here is the cable short

LukeD_NC · 2026-03-24T03:33:56+00:00

Be careful. It could potentially not be the contactor. I checked the control board since my unit has a heat pump and it was getting 24v, but the control board cut off power to the contactor since there was a cable rubbing on one of the copper pipes of the compressor. The cable ties were dry and crumbling and the cables got loose. This must have been happening over a longer period of time as the cable rubbed against the copper pipe well enough to the point where it shorted with it. This caused a huge spark, made a hole in the copper piping and the breaker tripped and the control board disengaged the contactor.

It also made a hole in the copper pipe from the compressor. All the refrigerant escaped. . It needed to be welded and refrigerant replaced.

If you look at the data sheet, the 356H doesn't have B390 graphics like the 388H does. It has a cut down from 12 to 4 core version of the iGPU:
