      Is there a theme or mode to enable a "play-only" mode? I set mine up in a bar for anyone to jump in and play, but people constantly press the wrong button and get lost in menus. It's there a way to disable all editing functions, and the controller can only select console and game? A keyboard would be required to exit and enter the traditional retropie functions.
      Does this magic exist?

        @string7th you can put emulation station into kiosk mode and set all the menu options as "hidden" so the retro pie menu doesn't show up. To bring back full menus, you use the konami code. As far as retroarch, open the configs from your network and go to
        configs/all/retroarch/autoconfig and open the controller you want to edit. you can just remove the input_enable_hotkey_btn line and that pretty much disables hotkeys for that that controller. If you want to disable all hotkeys except exit, go through the file and remove all the features you dont want like save state and menu toggle, ect.
