How Do I Set Batocera To Kiosk Mode?

To turn on Kiosk Mode in Batocera:

  1. From the main system list screen, press the Start button (Player 1) to open the main menu.
  2. Go to System Settings → UI Mode (or User Interface Mode).
  3. Select Kiosk.
  4. Confirm the change.

Kiosk mode restricts the UI: it hides most settings menus, prevents access to the RetroArch quick menu (via Hotkey + B), and blocks changes like editing collections or UI options. Users can still play all games normally.
