@oyyodams but, like I've said, the 2 SD cards are EXACTLY the same. I literally went to the store and asked for 2 of the same thing.

@substring well, I've tried a full overwrite format with SD formatter and that didn't work, so idk what else I could do.

@oyyodams Welp, good news. I tried it with a different brand 32gb sd and it worked. Still makes no sense to me though... I feel like there's probably a way to solve this issue, but for now, I guess I'll only buy the Samsung 32 th Sd.

@oyyodams but I've even tried SD formatter on it. You mean to say that the 2nd SD card STILL isn't big enough after that?

There you go. And thanks for the help also. I REALLY want to back up all the work I've put into my Recalbox.

@oyyodams Okay. So, I use win32diskimager "read" to create a copy of my "PERFECT recalbox" on my PC. I've tried MANY times to write this img to a new SD card. Every time, I start up Recalbox with the new SD card and every time, it starts up the basic version of Recalbox with none of my ROMs or custom configurations. It's just the barebones ROMs and consoles that I deleted from my "PERFECT recalbox"- not even the theme is the same. It's like it automatically defaults to a basic installation every time I try to write my "Perfect Recalbox". I've used win32's read function several times on my perfect one and all images do the same exact thing when written. My "Perfect Recalbox" is only 67% full capacity too. The SD cards are both 32 gigs I've gotten from Microcenter and I've never had issues with them before.

@substring well, yeah, I've been buying the EXACT same brand of micro sd card and it still just doesn't work.

So, I finally made my perfect Recalbox image, but I just can't back it up. I've tried a million times with win32diskimager and sd formatter, but every time I try to burn the img to a new SD card, none of the roms or settings are there... It's really frustrating.
