Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. No

Describe the solution you'd like Option to hide "Back" folders (using 3DS theme)

Describe alternatives you've considered Pressing "B" does the same thing as clicking the "Back" folders so I'd like to remove them for aesthetic's sake

Additional context N/A

Can you not just simply set the directories to be hidden in TWLMenu++ Settings?

That's what I've been doing originally, but I have too many DS games in TWM for it to be realistic to scroll between game pages with L & R to find my games. (Long load times) Organizing in alphabetical folders has sped up the interface drastically. Everything is (almost) perfect now except for the "Back" folders

I like this idea, so I took a quick look if this would be difficult. I think the issue is that TWLMenu uses FAT32 file attributes to 'show' and 'hide' files and folders. fileBrowse.cpp:196

I'm not sure if parent (..) directory entries have FAT32 attributes too, and if they did, hiding it would act weird by hiding that folder seen by its parent.

Probably the most reasonable solution is to provide a new config option like "browsing root". Either hardcoded options [/, /roms, /roms/nds], or configurable in settings.ini.

I'd like to be able to hand my DS to my kids without them getting lost in the root folder, or launching strange tools. Disabling directories works, if I'm not organizing games in subfolders, and don't want to browse to other rom folders (gba).
