A Windows tool to remove unused space from XCI-Dumps. | |||
==Features== | |||
* Cuts off (trims) unused sectors. | |||
* Optionally cuts in pieces (splits). | |||
* Batch processing. | |||
==User guide== | |||
It seeks the end of the actual data of a XCI-Dump and cuts off everything after that point. | |||
Before cutting, it makes sure that the space is really unused (filled with FF). Refuses to cut if it finds something else. | |||
The progress is reversable. The tool can be used to add back the unused space. | |||
As a safetymeasure, the original file actually won't be touched. Everything gets copied to an output file. | |||
ChronoX_ compiled a list with actual datasizes [https://wiki.gbatemp.net/wiki/XCI-Cutter here]. | |||
'''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. | |||

A Windows tool to remove unused space from XCI-Dumps.
Features
- Cuts off (trims) unused sectors.
- Optionally cuts in pieces (splits).
- Batch processing.
User guide
It seeks the end of the actual data of a XCI-Dump and cuts off everything after that point.
Before cutting, it makes sure that the space is really unused (filled with FF). Refuses to cut if it finds something else.
The progress is reversable. The tool can be used to add back the unused space.
As a safetymeasure, the original file actually won't be touched. Everything gets copied to an output file.
ChronoX_ compiled a list with actual datasizes here.
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.
