      @hansolo77 See https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Child-friendly-EmulationStation#switching-modes - edit /home/pi/.emulationstation/es_settings.cfg and set the UIMode to full.

      Thanks! I actually figured it out last night. But it's good to know there's a way to fix it for other people.

      Who's Scruffy Looking?

        You can scrap it on many site. Like on ScreenScrapper with the Classification TAG ;)
        Some games are TAG 6+ : https://www.screenscraper.fr/gamesinfos.php?plateforme=49&alpha=0&numpage=0
        They don't have it for all the games, but it will come with time ...
        And if we can use it on ES, it will help more people to work on this cool TAG :p
        They already take this tag when it is available on each site they scrap with their bot.

        @Zigurana You have not answer me for that ?

        Your tracking is really better :)

          I just updated emulaionstation last night and the added features are awesome. You really outdid yourself here. I especially love that you can set the retropie settings metadata to “hidden” for whatever you want and it will not show up while in kiosk. I left just bluetooth and WiFi for basic controller stuff and kodi usage. I have a question though and I’m sorry if it’s already been answered and I missed. When I turn off or restart the pi the kiosk mode is dropped and I’m back in full ui mode. How do I make it stick and stay in kiosk mode for good unless unlocked?

            It should be written to the settings.cfg file, if it doesn't, there might be something wrong with the way you restart the system, or the file permissions of thr settings file.

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

              @zigurana well after I enabled it I just did a system restart from the menu and it was reset. Would it matter if I did a clean system shutdown instead? I know I have save metadata on shutdown enabled if that would matter at all. If it’s a system permission thing then I’m not sure how I would o about changing that.

                Ok, now at least we know what is going on. There are 'hat' type events registered with all the axis events. It looks like these 'hat' events are not registered to anything, so now we have two options :
                Ignore all 'hat' events when considering the input, or ignore all inputs when they are not configured.
                I lean towards the latter option.
                I will try to create a new version for you to test tonight.

                  That sounds like a good plan.

                    Regarding the PEGI classification: again, I like the idea, but we would need some kind of buy-in from scraper developers (@sselph?) to get that data from screenscraper.fr.

                    For now though, lets make it a feature for a next iteration. I'd like to get this working without issues first.

                      Yes for sure, not now, but in a near future it can be cool to change for this system.

                      Ok i'm ready ;)

                        @zigurana Sounds like a plan. Maby @screech can help out in terms of making these changes incorporated into Universal XML Scraper and @sselph scraper.

                        As long as the pegi support is added to the games via xml then the rest should be easier to incorporate.

                            An other idea ?

                            I have see this comit, good idea, but i don't see the ARROW ?

                              ok, please hang in here, we will solve this, one way or another...
                              (man, debugging over this distance is quite tedious!)

                              Ignore the empty strings for now, that is another issue, related to missing unicode characters.

                              I've updated the branch again, could you try again?

                                      @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.

                                        Who's Scruffy Looking?

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

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

                                            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!
