Size Efficiency: Unlike XCI files, which are direct images of physical cartridges and may contain "empty space" to match cartridge sizes (e.g., a 12GB game on a 16GB cartridge image), NSP files are "shrink-wrapped" to include only the necessary data, making them generally smaller and easier to store.
