Description

IMG_20240925_124753

I would really like Retroarch to provide an option to restrict users from exiting the Quick Menu to the main menu by pressing the back button after the content is loaded.

In the Settings -> User Interface -> Menu Item Visibility option, there should be a toggle to disable the Main Menu and Settings after the content is loaded and the user can exit the game by selecting Close Content. This makes the menu display very simple and uncomplicated for end users, especially if RetroArch is run through the launcher.

Research direction

Start at Settings → User Interface → Menu Item Visibility and trace how menu visibility is represented before and after content loads. The work is done when a toggle can hide Main Menu and Settings after content loads while Close Content remains available from the Quick Menu.
