Launch Big Box Directly Into a Specific Platform

📋 Summary

While Big Box currently allows users to set a default view on startup—such as Platforms, Playlists, or Categories—there’s no way to launch directly into a specific platform’s game list (e.g. “Arcade” or “Super Nintendo Entertainment System”). This feature request proposes adding that option.

❗ Problem

Users with a single primary platform—such as arcade cabinet owners or retro console builds—must first navigate through the main view before reaching their desired platform, even though it’s the only one they intend to use.

💡 Proposal

Introduce a setting in Big Box to optionally launch directly into a chosen platform’s game list at startup. This would bypass the platform wheel and take the user straight to their configured destination.

✅ Benefits

• Speeds up access to games for focused or single-platform setups.

• Ideal for kiosk, cabinet, or living room environments.

• Reduces input steps for casual users or children.

• Complements existing startup view settings with finer control.

📌 Example Use Cases

• Boot Big Box straight into “Arcade” for a dedicated MAME cabinet.

• Always start in “Sega Genesis” on a retro-focused build.

• Skip unnecessary layers for users with a minimal or curated library.
