      I've tried a couple of different methods to delete the unused space on my .img file. I copied it from a 16gb sd card but only actually used about ~3gb. Would someone who actually know what they're doing please resize my .img file? I zipped it up to about 7.6gb

        @inunotaishou sharing ROMs is against the forum rules. And even if your image didn't have ROMs it's incredibly reckless to share an image with all your configs which likely include your credentials for wifi access among other things.

        Follow the available guides. Having other people do things for you does nobody any good.

          So..... Where are the working guides you talk about?

          Tried this one, and failed
          Tried this one first, failed
          I really wanted this one to work, but it kept breaking at the end

          It's a good thing there are no ROMs on that image. My wifi credentials might be on there. The only thing I did to that image was run my publically available PiStation 2 setup script and configure the PS2 controllers before I made the image. I think I use that password on some throw away email accounts and pokemon games that I don't even know the account names to.
