Ventoy 1.0.99
Ventoy is an open source tool for creating a bootable USB drive for ISO/WIM/IMG/VHD(x)/EFI files. With this application, you don't need to format the disk again and again, just copy the ISO/WIM/IMG/VHD(x)/EFI files to a USB drive and run it directly.
You can copy several files at once and Ventoy will give you a boot menu to select them. The application supports x86 Legacy BIOS, IA32 UEFI, x86_64 UEFI, ARM64 UEFI and MIPS64EL UEFI in the same way. It also supports most types of operating systems (Windows / WinPE / Linux / ChromeOS / Unix / VMware / Xen ...)

Ventoy is composed by many open source projects and some code developed by myself. All the code developed by myself follows GPLv3+ License. For these open source projects, some I modify their source code, and some I directly use their libraries or binaries. All the modified code follow the same license as the project itself.
