If you have persistence working on an iso ie you made changes and they stuck...not just that the menu offered to boot "with persistence" please post what iso and your ventoy.json.  If so, are you running the most recent version of ventoy?

I've tried 4 different iso's.  Of them one hangs on boot with or without persistence.  The other 3 give me the option to choose "with persistence" but don't actually HAVE persistence from what I can tell.

The ventoy.json I used is (confirmed by https://jsonformatter.curiousconcept.com/ as correect):

{
  "persistence":[
      {
        "image":"/ISO/redobackup-livecd-1.0.5.1.iso",
        "backend":"/persistence/redobackup.img"
      },
      {
        "image":"/ISO/manjaro-kde-20.0.3-200606-linux56.iso",
        "backend":"/persistence/manjaro-kde-20.0.3.img"
      },
      {
        "image":"/ISO/extix-20.2-64bit-kde-refracta-snapshot-calamares-2380mb-200127.iso",
        "backend":[
            "/persistence/persistence_ext4_1GB_casper-rw.img"
        ]
      },
      {
        "image":"/ISO/lfa-64bit-lxde-efi-refracta-nvidia-1670mb-200607.iso",
        "backend":"/persistence/lfa-64bit-lxde.img"
      }
  ]
}

Pour moi aussi, aucun soucis avec la persistence, ça marche :-) :

********* Ventoy.json *************

{
    "persistence" : [
        {
            "image": "/Iso/Linux/linuxmint-19.3-cinnamon-64bit.iso",
            "backend": "/Iso/Linux/persistence_ext4_4GB_casper-rw.img"
        }

I actually REMOVED a blank space from persistence: because someone said it was a problem.  I'll try it but the json site validated the code. *update* correction..I removed a space BEFORE the :....I'll add one after all of them. Thanks to you and Redneck_fr for your replies!

Please make a try with Ventoy-1.0.13.
And you can use F5 debug to check the ventoy.json if you have problem with persistence.
