What does the log say?  It is in .8bit folder.


Also ..
Suggest to put the 8bit folder in the user's home folder (not in /bin)   =>   /root/8bit
Keep the .8but folder in the user's home folder.   =>   /root/.8bit

from security perspective,
Best way is not to use root at all, but use a dedicated normal users. But it would work with root too. Up to you.
