bigbox Supress BigBox System Menu

[stigzler]

I'm running BigBox on an Arcade Cab. Is there any way to stop the user navigating to the System Menu via 'back'?

I know you can lock the user out from changes options, but I want to stop the user entering the system menu entirely. It kinda ruins the immersion. 

I realise that there will probably need to be some way of entering the system menu (not sure if all BigBox options can e set in Launchbox?), but that could be done via a specific key etc (eg. a shifted key). Back is just so integral to browsing that the user will accidently end up in the system menu at times. 

Thanks

I don't know if you can disable it, but you can make it so that you have to hold back down for a while in order to get to the menu. It works well to keep people out of the settings.

BigBox Settings Menu->Options->General->Require Holding Back to Navigate to System Menu

Thanks. That'll do in lieu of any other options. 👍
