@dcaputi From the distance I assume it is a known issue with the firmware of the Xin-Mo. See here for a workaround: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Xin-Mo-Controller/

@Krakatoa Yup. You were right. I changed to a different emulator and it's working now. Thank you

I've just had the exact same problem this morning and thought I was going mad!

This is actually a great feature as it provides further protection against guests inadvertantly entering it even after applying Kiosk mode.

Many thanks Mitu!

Thanks @mitu. It works now for the custom lists.

About the joystick selection tool permission issue, I'm waiting for a new Xinmo interface shipment before pushing further. Once I have it I will try again. I have a 4 player board on my arcade. I would need longer GPIO cables to follow my initial plan to connect player 3 and 4 on one Xinmo, but those cables come from China and seem to be out of stock due to the disruption of global value chains.

I hope that the Joystick selection tool will allow to connect P1 and P3 on one Xinmo, P2 and P4 on the other (considering cable length), then reallocating the players with the tool. If I can make it work.

By "UI" you mean EmulationStation? Are the input devices being seen as two separate things or the same thing in Retroarch?

@meleu , what do you think? Would it be possible to add something like that to your script?
