      I know if you select a game on Emulationstation then set to hidden it won't appear when running in Kiosk mode. However is there anyway to set all the games in a particular console/system to hidden?

      What I mean is I want to hide all games in Playstation (100 games) rather than clicking each one then selecting hidden is there a way to simply select Playstation and make all games hidden?

      Conversely is there anyway to set all games in a particular system/console to White List so they are visible in Kid mode?

      Thanks in advance.

        @Garavar I just yesterday figured out something for this.

        I wanted to hide the start line for ScummVM, because I'd never use it again after setting up my games and because it actually counts towards the number of games.

        I've set that game to hidden, and instead of doing kiosk mode, I used the game list option to exclude games that are hidden (hidden -> false, so it only shows games that I've not set to hidden). This also excludes it from the game counter.

        Now, I haven't tried this, but logically speaking, you should be able to set the games list for PSX to hidden -> true so it only shows games that DO have the hidden tag, which none have unless you've already entered it for some.
