No it doesn't. I don't know why you have a 32MB partition but if you had a partition based emummc you would have had a 29GB partition. That means you can just copy everything to the new SD card. I can see your card is formatted as exfat. I highly recommend that you format your new card as fat32 because exfat is known to get corrupted easily on the Switch.

Provided you use emummc the saves are on the sd card so they are part of what you copy to the new card. If you use sysmmc the saves are in the Switch and then you don't have to do anything about it

Have you even bothered to scroll through the previous replies, you're confusing them even more

no emunand. just copy all the files from the old to the new card.
do it manually via windows explorer, don't use backup tools as they might cause other issues (archive bit)

Did YOU bother to read the whole thread? If you did you would see that I have replied several times so yeah I have read it all.
The last thing OP asked was whether he had to backup his saves and I explained where the saves are located and why it is not necessary. I really can't see why that is not relevant and why it is confusing.
So chill dude, we are all trying to help here...

    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".

    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."
