hello.. hoping somebody might be able to help or offer some advice if possible please?

my sxos Mariko Switch was recently fixed by a repair shop (as i'd had problems upgrading the FW).. They did a fab job and got it all back up and working again with Atmosphere/Hekate - but i am now left with a massive emuMMC on my SD card that's nearly 250gb in size.. :/

I suspect that it still has all of my old games (pre hekate) and system data in there? which is now chewing up all of the space on my SD card meaning i can only install a couple of games on a 512gb card.. :/

I really want to get some space back on my SD card - so my question is - which of the following (if any!) would be the best way forward?

1) Resize emummc to something smaller?
2) Buy another SD card and start afresh?
3) Delete old game from emummc to free up space?

Any help or advice that you guys can offer would be really appreciated..

No need to buy another SD card. Just start from scratch with your 512gb card. Backup your saves if you want to, (you can backup your games too, if you don't want to download them again) then remove all partitions and format the card to fat32. Then just recreate a hidden partition emunand of regular size (more or less 30gb, I believe), and re-install your games. This rentry page should help you.

Backup saves is always good to do! Jksv even support google drive uploads

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
