I have an SD card for my RK2020 retro handheld, onto which I want to burn a pre-made image of emulators.

SOUNDS SIMPLE, RIGHT?

- the micro SD card (a Toshiba bought from a legit UK online source) is ostensibly a 128GB one.

- the IMG file I've downloaded is 119GB according to Windows.

- except the image-writer app (BalenaEtcher) thinks the IMG is 128GB and that the card capacity is only 125GB, so refuses to write it.

- and if I try to format the card, Windows says its actual capacity is only 116GB.

WHY ARE NONE OF THESE NUMBERS THE SAME AND HOW DO I FIX IT?
