I am working on creating a multiboot NOOBS install complete with OS switching scripts built in for RecalBox and Rasplex. The idea came from a site offering an outdated multiboot with RetroPie and Rasplex based on NOOBS. I am trying to create an up to date version while also replacing RetroPie with RecalBox. While Recalbox is already NOOBS formatted, I have been trying to follow the NOOBS instructions for creating my own custom OS image to add the NOOBS menu for Rasplex without any luck. Unfortunately, the instructions are very vague and quite difficult to pull off on a LibreElec based system. For instance, the given command for compressing my tarball “xz -9 -e .tar” comes up with an error on Rasplex while working fine on Raspbian. Does anyone know how to pull this off or would your team be interested in creating your own official NOOBS formatted image for Rasplex?
‘NOOBS’ is in fact Berryboot. See the other posts in this forum section for Rasplex on Berryboot, as you will find out Berryboot is way behind Rasplex on firmware and kernel and therefore has issues.

Thank you for answering, but they are not exactly the same thing. They are similar, but use very different methods for formatting OSes to be used by the menu. I know that Rasplex can be NOOBS formatted since I have downloaded a copy of an older release of Rasplex formatted for NOOBS in a dualboot from multibootpi.com. Unfortunately, this version cannot be updated to the most recent release. Since RecalBox is already preformatted for NOOBS, I am trying to figure out how to do the same for the newest Rasplex release. I tried once with no luck. I created the root tarball as per the instructions on the NOOBS GitHub page, but couldn’t figure out how to mount the boot partition to make a tarball of it. Instead I tried the LibreElec NOOBS image version of the boot partition but it failed.
