      Hey everyone,

      I have a couple games I don't want the kids to play (Duke Nukem for example).

      Has anyone password protected some roms on their Pi for similar reasons? I imagine you could write a shell script and keep the actual rom located in another folder. Thought I'd ask and see if anyone has any insight.

        You can install emulation station kid mode which allows you hide roms in kid mode. You can set a controller password to unlock all features/roms. And when you are done, just set kid mode again.
        It is in the experimental menu on retro pie setup

          Ya I didn't really want to mess with kid mode for the sake of a handful of roms, but thanks
