cannot boot memtest86-iso.iso

I did not try previous memtest86 version. But I think I saw a claim said it worked before. This is a must to have tool. So I think it need to work. Download from here https://www.memtest86.com/tech_booting-cd-dvd.html Unzip it and put it into your iso dir change the first m to M (the config recognize the iso file with case sensitivity. If you do not change it it will not recognize it and show up as memdisk). It shows up in the menu ~~but identify as memdisk~~. Try to boot from it will get you into a grub menu with only default option and not really bootable because it cannot find isolinux, there is only boot.cat.

Any idea, how to work around this? I really do not like to format my 32gb usb stick to 500MB just for memtest86

The problem is the iso name is case sensitive, change it will be recognized correctly. However, the iso content is changed which is not based on isolinux any more.
