Hi,

My little problem was the size of partition user in emunand, for explain, in my SDCard (200GB) i had 32 Gb emunand and 168 Gb free for install game, into the emunand there is a 26 Gb USER partition, since i used to fill free sd space with my nsp game, and i use the user partition only for save games (about 4Gb), result a free 22Gb i don't want to use because of eventually out of space for new save game, so i wanted to keep only 3 Gb for it. result in my sd card about 19Gb was wasted.

I've tried to search and ask for shrink this partition on emunand but no one seem to have do it yet and all people write i had to create a emunand first in my orig nand (with advanced option for size) and after that move it to my sd, But i don't want to play with my nand because is untouched from beginning of time and i wanted to choose exactly the user partition size.

After i few study about how working emunand and switch GPT and Partition, i reached my goal, and now i've only 11Gb total emunand with only 8 Gb User Partiton, 3 GB free on it and all the remain on my sd as free space.

The procedure is not so hard but it's take a little bit time and expected few math knowledge ,so i want to know if there is any other who want to know howto, in this case i can try to write down a guide for do that.

after that; i little spoiler; the original nand and consequently all emunand made from that, have 560MB of unpartition space at the end i don't know if is wanted or not but everthing work also without, so i had recovered another space specially in 32/64GB sd card (if someone use that size).

Yes please.
And a quick question, is your emunand(as files on sd type) with customized user partition size compatible with HacDiskMount?
Thanks.

I use emunand as files because of this is the easy way for backup /copy and modify . and yes, i've used HacDiskMount for mount user partition, backup ,and restore the new partition...
