    Runcommand I know. But Kiosk mode and "hide the RetroPie-Setup" i dont know.
    Thx. Do you have a link for this?
    User pi (sudo) is not a problem ^^
    And yes. I make a dd (clone) from the SSD before ( I work with a SSD. Not with SDcard on the Raspberry).

    "Zumindest würde ich in Frage stellen ob es dann wirklich "Freunde" oder "Kollegen" sind."
    Es könnte sein, dass ich die Maschine bei einer Kollegin in ihre Bar stelle.
    Da kann niemand rumdoktern. Alle anderen Kollegen machen das sowieso nicht :D

    I might put the machine in a colleague's bar.
    Nobody can mess around there. All other colleagues don't do that anyway: D

      Look into https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Child-friendly-EmulationStation/#ui-modes and see how the UI modes (Kid/Kiosk) work. Make sure you know how to switch modes, so you will not get locked into Kiosk/Kid mode.

        Thank you.

        Ist nicht einfach, den richtigen Link zu finden, wenn man nicht sehr gut englisch spricht ^^

        It's not easy to find the right link if you don't speak English very well ^^

            And my english is terrible.
            I mean the question in Google is difficult if you don't speak English well. I understand well.

            But you and sirhenry have already helped me a lot: D

            A german section here would be cool. I'm a Swiss.

            AND: RetroPie is fantastic. Good job !!

              If the machine is in the bar, can I define an extra button for "exit game"?
              If someone wants to leave the game, this should be possible without instructions.

                What bar ? You said you'll be borrowing to some friends ?

                    @treki Using RetroPie in a commercial enterprise is against the projects' license. Some of the emulators included in RetroPie have also non-commercial licenses.

                    I say: "Es könnte sein, dass ich die Maschine bei einer Kollegin in ihre Bar stelle." ("I might put the machine in a colleague's bar.")

                    No, you didn't say this, you edited your message 30 min later and added this. Don't do this, edits are not notified or emphasized - if you have anything substantial to add to your oridinal post, then post a new message.

                      I have not edited this phrase!
                      I have edited other things! Only add the english translation of it.

                      And don't worry: I will not use retropie commercially. I will provide that for free (maybe in the bar of my friend).

                      Is it ok, when I write only in german? You can use the translator.....

                        I disagree. The original post at 8:43 :
                        capture2.png

                        Edited post with the mention about the bar added at 09:26:

                        And don't worry: I will not use retropie commercially. I will provide that for free (maybe in the bar of my friend).

                        Even if playing the arcade is still free to play, this still qualifies as commercial usage.

                        This is an English speaking forum. Please use English, even if you run it through a translation service. Do it once for your post, instead of the non-German speaking forum users doing it every time when reading or replying.

                          I still have to build the machine. Is my next project.
                          If I give them to use, it is still in the stars.

                          Is a german section not a option?

                            That's unlikely.

                              Too bad.
                              Many misunderstandings arise only because of the translator.

                                  If I give the machine for 3-4 weeks is that commercial use? I think not.
                                  In Switzerland we have not the same (sick) laws than Germany!

                                    I don't think there's any misunderstanding here - it doesn't matter how much time the machine is used in a commercial place, it still qualifies as commercial usage.
                                    If you friend wants to have an arcade machine in the bar, then they should purchase one, along with the licensed games included.

                                      OK forget it. But that would be my problem. RetroPie will hardly have a problem there.

                                      "hardly"? = translator

                                      German original:
                                      Ok, vergiss es. Das wäre aber dann mein Problem. RetroPie wird da kaum ein Problem bekommen.

                                          No, it's not just 'your problem'. As I said, RetroPie includes emulators with non-commercial usage, so you'd be also breaching their license, while associating RetroPie with commercial usage.

                                          If you find yourself unable to respect the RetroPie license, then this is not the place to get support.
