geez, cadaver, show some restraint. ;) "No, I don't need IFFL... don't hold your breath... aw, fine already! here it is!" |

Well I don't need it. But it was fun to code the entire track scanning thing. |

Stryyker: Beta-Skip by MWS & Crisp. Loaded to under the screen, hence the autostart. Best publicly available system until Taboo did theirs, I used it too. Other IFFLs available at the time either had shit speeds, crap compression or weren't IFFLs at all (needed seeking through datafile for every access).
It's 2013 and the Taboo's CS section only links to Levelcrusher v1.0, not the complete linker system. I don't remember whether I used some third party linker/scanner with their packer, but I don't think so - that'd mean a high quality tool is missing from the DB. Please check your disks and upload if you have it (mine are 2500km from where I'm typing now). |

Necro Post.
Anyways, there were other REAL iffl systems available (like zagon's or burglar's) but you had to be "someone" in order to get them. They weren't spread around to every lamer. Anyways it's not hard to code either, better to learn to code a loader and make your own, it's not that hard really.
Most iffl's are FAKE (Hi Snacky and Syllinor!) anyways and just sector linked , which defeats the purpose of saving space by linking the files...
Pretty sure Cadaver's rant is based on Zagon's. My system is too (although I can code it completely myself from scratch) , and even n0sd0s is based on the same ideas and code base. |

Yeah, when writing that rant, I looked at Triad and Nostalgia cracks for reference, and the final scanning routine ended up resembling the Nostalgia scanner the most. |

I said *publicly* available. I'm not even starting on the idea of exclusive tools that's been frustrating me for years. Competition in cracking is about providing the most optimized version of the game not showing one's coding skills (which IFFL system, being apparently not that hard to make, shouldn't really indicate), also there's a bunch of good reasons most people don't keep chickens in their gardens although they like eggs for their breakfast.
Anyway, it looks like some of Taboo's excellent tools are still missing from the DB and for the sake of history, and comparing results of one's own not-that-hard-to-code tool to others, would make sense to fix it. |

bullshit, being able to write and use your own tools was a huge part in cracking. |
