@mth75 Thanks a bunch, I will look into it!

@AlphaBetaPie Why not use kid mode? It locks everything away behind that trusty konami code.

@sleve_mcdichael Thanks

no need to worry anymore, I was messing with the files here on the computer and I
managed to edit the files, thanks for the help :)

Oh. Thanks alot that worked perfectly!

After installing a translation KIOSK mode stop saving favorites, anyway i can activate this "bug" again?

@benjaminjay Please add more info about your system - https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.
You may have an older release of Emulationstation without that feature. Include in the information provided the Emulationstation version.

has the context.

@mitu Thanks for the help, without your help I would have been stuck in the kiosk mode

@mitu Excellent! I'll give it a shot.

@quicksilver oops! Yeah I certainly wasnt trying to tell you that. 😂

@roslof The release event is not counted for the unlock passkey, so it doesn't matter what's the mapping reported. At some point, the HAT events have been discarded as valid input from the passcode matching (here) and this causes your issue.
For a Dualshock controller (like yours) unlocking works using one of the joysticks, but not the D-Pad (which is a HAT type input).

hi @pjft , I think I found it. When all items in the retropie system (i.e audio, bluetooth, wifi etc) are set to hidden, this causes the crash as described above. if you have at least 1 item set to not hidden, it then works fine.

Hope this helps.

@r3fear that screen is started by Emulationstation, so you cannot use a script to launch it, since it's within the application itself.
