XCI-Cutter
Features:
- cuts off (trims) unused sectors
- optionally cuts in pieces (splits)
- batch processing
This tool reads the XCI-Header to determine the full cartridge-size and the actually used space.
By default, the tool checks if the sectors after the used space/gamedata are really unused (filled with FF).
It refuses to cut, if it finds any data in that area (this check can be bypassed by using "Fast Mode").
The tool can be used to restore these FF-sectors and expand XCI-files back to the full cartridge size.
@ChronoX_ compiled a list with actual datasizes over at:

UPDATE 20.06.2018:
Trimmed and split games are now fully compatible with SX OS!
!!! Important Note: !!!
Dumps that were split with a version before v2.4.2,
have to be joined/uncut using that OLDER version.
And afterwards split again using the NEW version.
