I have an SDXC card that is 119.08 GB but only has one partition in fat32 with 29.8 GB, I've tried multiple things like making it so theres no unallocated space left and making the partition really small (like 1-4 GB) but I can't find any solutions.
Partition Type: Primary
UUID: 2DC6-29C2
Partition UUID: 3560AE5C-AA94-5744-A406-2AEC6DF19FBC

I mean 99% it should be MBR, but it's not impossible right? Even if it wasn't sold that way someone definitely could have formatted it improperly
probably improper formatting since I've used this SD card for a lot of different things and have formatted so many times

Yes. Like I said, it should show the whole storage capacity if the sd card ~120GB as one fat32 (32kb clusters) partition. Use Guiformat to format your sd card, since Windows doesn't format +32GB cards as Fat32.
And If you want to make sure about the "MBR" partition thing, use something like AOMEI Partition Assistant to see what it's set to, and change it if it's not correct, and it can format the sd card correctly too, if you want to format it there.

  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    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
