Ventoy Multiboot USB

VentoyPlugson (GUI for creating json file)

The directory needs to be this

The json file needs to be this

{
    "control": [
        { "VTOY_DEFAULT_MENU_MODE": "1" },
        { "VTOY_FILT_DOT_UNDERSCORE_FILE": "1" }
    ],
    
    "theme": {
        "file": "/ventoy/theme/unicorn/theme.txt",
        "gfxmode": "1920x1080"
    }
    } 

Change the "Robo" to match theme name (I have no clue what I meant by this)

You can get themes from this guy's link

Change the "file": "/ventoy/theme/unicorn/theme.txt" string to the theme folder you desire. In this case it is "unicorn".

Then go to the /ventoy/theme/unicorn folder and replace the "background.jpg" with your image.

I know jpg or png work

The file size in MB is limited but don't know max. I had to use the "for internet" function in irfanview to get the size reduced properly, resulting in 1200x732 & 97.26s kb

I used the unicorn theme and replaced the "background.jpg" with this. How wonderful is that :)

Ventoy Persistence

create a persistence folder on the Ventoy disk

go here and get the .dat zip files

https://github.com/ventoy/backend/releases

unzip the .dat file that matches the release you want and place in persistence  folder

eg. persistence_xfs_4GB_MX-Persist

start the VentoyPlugson.exe in the Ventoy program. It is not on the Ventoy disk

add paths - enter the paths to the ISO file and the .dat file

**I got it to works with MX Linux. Most of the confusion was due to all the MX prompts to set up persistence. Seems to be prompts each time persistence is loaded. Irritating but it does work.

I did it again successfully. Answer the MX prompts with default "enter" and number 1 when necessary.
