OneAndOnlySolo Posted June 20, 2023 Posted June 20, 2023 Trying to find out a way to make my Launchbox go into a kiosk mode so that kids can't open tabs and go off of Launchbox but I can't find a way to do this sadly. I know BigBox has a lock feature but ideally I do not want to pay for a subscription just yet! Quote
Lordmonkus Posted June 20, 2023 Posted June 20, 2023 This might be doable with some other piece of 3rd party software but is not possible in Launchbox currently. Quote

I know BigBox has a lock feature but ideally I do not want to pay for a subscription just yet! You may be able to ask around to see if some one can try to make a plugin that could do this. Plugin would have to make LaunchBox window "TopMost" until a game is launched, then make it TopMost again after it's closed. VERY janky and prone to failure so I really wouldn't suggest it, but could potentially work. That being said LB doesn't lock out any operations and so the kids could still potentially add/remove games, media, or metadata from your collection should they press the commands to do so. Quote
OneAndOnlySolo Posted June 23, 2023 Author Posted June 23, 2023 Ok thank you so much for the help. So LB doesn't have a lockout feature but does BigBox have one? Quote

Big Box you can lock out several options (even skip the details window entirely). LaunchBox doesn't have that same functionality. Quote
