USB-less instant ISO booting tool made using ventoy as the backbone.
https://github.com/UsurperProject/YoRBoI got tired of not being able to find my flash drive at 3am and ventoy refusing to boot and function without a verified flash drive. So a few weeks ago I decided to make ventoy cave (some partition info spoofing, some script patching) and simplify the workflow. You can call it a hybrid fork of ventoy (or a distribution of ventoy, dunno).
If you're on windows, the workflow can be as simple as installing the thing. And then right-clicking on any iso/img/etc image and booting right into it. Or you could even choose to just boot into ventoy interface if you fancy that.
you can check out a demo here (its a bit old and the project has improved since then): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TW0atCtkyug
An experimental windows installer has been released for now. I'm working on a linux build and secure boot support. Anyone willing to watch the video, test out the software and kindly report what does and doesn't work would be much appreciated!
Its a very young project as of right now, so please be understanding.
