      Yes it's not easy, but we will found a solution :)

      @Zigurana , @meleu it is not the first time i have the problem it is strange, whe i want to update/build the source code of Zigurana, i can't.
      It write me Failed to download .... Check your connection and try again.
      But it is false because i can update an other on source without any problem.

          My Xbox 360 controller still doesn't work to unlock FULL from a different mode.

            @hansolo77 If you swapped a and b for emulation station then the konami code will be swapped.

              Yeah I tried it both ways. I think the latest fix isn't in the official build yet.

                The fix for w360 controllers is now merged into the dev (expermental) branch! Please give it a try!

                  Hi.
                  I have installed on my RP3 the 2.7.3RP version of emulationstation and I had been testing this new feature for differents UI modes.
                  Once it is updated through retropie script (from binary of sources, does not matter) I can change it to kiosk or kid mode from emulationstation menu but, it is not saved in es_settings.cfg so as soon as I reboot my raspberry it come back to Full Mode.
                  If I edit manually that file, emulationstation never lost configuration and allways boot on Kiosk Mode (or Kid mode) however something I've detected is, when I return to full mode with konami code, "full" label is written in the right way on config file but never when you change from full to kiosk or kid...

                  I like very much this UImode feature, I allways was waiting for it...
                  Thanks!

                      Yeah, this was also fixed in the latest pr, please install the experimental / dev branch (from source) and try again.

                      Let me know how you fare!

                        @zigurana I installed the new dev version today and the ui mode is staying intact after reboots. Thank you! I am having a new issue similar to the xbo360 Konami code issues recently fixed. Now I am unable to enter this code using 8bitdo Nes30 pro controllers. I am running 4.3 with the new emulationstation-dev just posted.
                        I have tried configuring the controllers again but this did not work. I have changed my pass key to “baxbax” for the time being and this works perfectly. The hat/d-pad seems to be the issue. Btw the Konami code works flawlessly on the keyboard as of now and worked with both the keyboard and 8bitdo before the latest update I performed.
                        I am a bit of a “dummy” when it comes to posting logs so let me know if you would like to see any and I will try my best :). Thank you again for all the awesome work!

                            Could you try running EmulationStation with the debug flag, and see what the logged input values are when you enter the code?

                            So, exit Es with F4, and then enter emulationstation --debug, the logging should end up in ~/.emulationstation/es_log.txt

                            I suspect that the controller you are using is registering the dpad as a hat-type input, which are now intentionally ignored.
                            If that is the case, I'll need to reconsider the fix for xbox360 controllers.

                            If tetris has thought me anything, it's that errors pile up and that accomplishments dissappear.

                              @zigurana huh. I thought we were just ignoring any inputs that were not associated with any ES-recognized/mapped input event? Was that not good enough as an approach?

                              I imagine excluding all hat inputs will not be appropriate for different types of controllers.

                              You may, though, consider ignoring any event that's not mapped to the inputs you can accept for the unlock pattern altogether. I believe it's everything except the inputs assigned to the analog joysticks, l3/r3, l2/r2, correct? So pretty much a SNES pad button layout?

                                @pjft yes, that was the place at first, but it did not work for the Xbox 360 controller that darknoir was using, so I changed it to simply ignore all hat inputs, assuming (incorrectly) that the dpad would always be axes.
                                Back to the drawing board...

                                  @zigurana well, it's too early to jump the gun. Both of us are just assuming that some controllers map the dpad to hats. Might be something different.

                                    So my understanding is, there is a new kids mode you can install from Retropie? One that matches the new emulationstation changes? If so awesome! I've been wanting to do alot more controlled build for my friends who have kids and stuff that they don't want mucking around with options :)

                                      @zigurana I ran debug mode as requested. Here is a quick photo (sorry all I was able to provide at this time). The 8bitdo does use “hat” for dpad inputs as suspected.

                                        Hi Kids... and kiosks....

                                        Here it is my log:

                                        lvl3: 	UIModeController::logInput( 8Bitdo NES30 Pro ):Hat 0 neutral?, isMappedTo= down, left, right, up, , value=0
lvl3: 	UIModeController::logInput( 8Bitdo NES30 Pro ):Hat 0 up, isMappedTo= up, , value=1
lvl3: 	UIModeController::logInput( 8Bitdo NES30 Pro ):Hat 0 neutral?, isMappedTo= down, left, right, up, , value=0
lvl3: 	UIModeController::logInput( 8Bitdo NES30 Pro ):Hat 0 down, isMappedTo= down, , value=4
lvl3: 	UIModeController::logInput( 8Bitdo NES30 Pro ):Hat 0 neutral?, isMappedTo= down, left, right, up, , value=0

                                        As srfrboybob said, seems that 8bitdo interprets d-pad as hat...

                                          @Srfrboybob and @dvf00 , thanks for the info, that is very helpful.

                                          ok, so now we have the following situation to work with:

                                          XBox360 controllers intersperses the dpad inputs with hat inputs of varying value:

                                          lvl3: 	UIModeController::logInput( Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver ):Hat 0 up, isMappedTo= , value=1
lvl3: 	UIModeController::logInput( Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver ):Button 15, isMappedTo= up, , value=0
lvl3: 	UIModeController::logInput( Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver ):Hat 0 neutral?, isMappedTo= , value=0
lvl3: 	UIModeController::logInput( Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver ):Button 16, isMappedTo= down, , value=1
lvl3: 	UIModeController::logInput( Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver ):Hat 0 down, isMappedTo= , value=4
lvl3: 	UIModeController::logInput( Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver ):Button 16, isMappedTo= down, , value=0
lvl3: 	UIModeController::logInput( Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver ):Hat 0 neutral?, isMappedTo= , value=0
lvl3: 	UIModeController::logInput( Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver ):Button 16, isMappedTo= down, , value=1
lvl3: 	UIModeController::logInput( Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver ):Hat 0 down, isMappedTo= , value=4
lvl3: 	UIModeController::logInput( Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver ):Button 16, isMappedTo= down, , value=0
lvl3: 	UIModeController::logInput( Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver ):Hat 0 neutral?, isMappedTo= , value=0
lvl3: 	UIModeController::logInput( Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver ):Button 13, isMappedTo= left, , value=1
lvl3: 	UIModeController::logInput( Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver ):Hat 0 left, isMappedTo= , value=8
lvl3: 	UIModeController::logInput( Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver ):Button 13, isMappedTo= left, , value=0
lvl3: 	UIModeController::logInput( Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver ):Hat 0 neutral?, isMappedTo= , value=0

                                          8Bitdo NES30 pro controllers report all dpad actions as hat movements, also with varying values, but now alternated with a neutral? state, value = 0:

                                          lvl3: 	UIModeController::logInput( 8Bitdo NES30 Pro ):Hat 0 neutral?, isMappedTo= down, left, right, up, , value=0
lvl3: 	UIModeController::logInput( 8Bitdo NES30 Pro ):Hat 0 up, isMappedTo= up, , value=1
lvl3: 	UIModeController::logInput( 8Bitdo NES30 Pro ):Hat 0 neutral?, isMappedTo= down, left, right, up, , value=0
lvl3: 	UIModeController::logInput( 8Bitdo NES30 Pro ):Hat 0 down, isMappedTo= down, , value=4
lvl3: 	UIModeController::logInput( 8Bitdo NES30 Pro ):Hat 0 neutral?, isMappedTo= down, left, right, up, , value=0

                                          ... and finally the observation that my initial implementation of finding inputs that have no isMappedTo value did not work.

                                          Looking at this, I think that filtering out the values that have no mappedTo (undefined keypresses) should be the best way to cope with this. The question is how.
                                          I'll try to replicate the issue with another controller, to see how to catch those undefined inputs.

                                          If tetris has thought me anything, it's that errors pile up and that accomplishments dissappear.

                                            @darknior @dvf00 @Srfrboybob , @anyone with a fancycontroller

                                            I've rewritten the logic for input validation (again), I'd like both users with a x360 and an 8-bitdo controllers to give this a try.
                                            Could you maybe try it out?

                                            repo: zigurana\EmulationStation
                                            branch: UIModeInputHandling

                                            Please run emulationstation --debug to get all the logging.

                                            Thanks!
