Identifying crackinggroups by the BASIC line
I'm going through some disks again and found several games that had no signature in it (no intro, no altered screens with 'broken by' or 'cracked by').
What I found by typing LIST in BASIC, I sometimes get something like 10 SYS 2061 ABC
Does this mean this game was actually cracked by ABC or is there some cruncher/packer around that adds this signature?

To become famous, before TST had released any demos, i used disk maintenance disk editor, to write myself into the greetings of various big group intros, before i spread the games! :) |

dont know if it's helpful or not, but USSPE and XPB were both US Groups. USSPE was around the time of nepa, and some of the earlier ones. XPB, around the same time as well. Early cracks from what I can remember.

*BUMP*
Just bumping this thread because I see a lot of cracks added lately which are identified by the sysline.
Not that I want to say that you're doing it wrong, but it may be worth it by investigating a crack more than just blatantly add it to the database.
That said, to all the uploaders: just keep 'em coming and preserve the hell out of it! :) |

I try to doublecheck, and I try not to add stuff that seems strange. CBA and Zyron helps me out now and then, and a few "cracks" have been deleted. I also hope that other people want to correct and help out. I think it works pretty good - as long as other people than the uploader gets involved. |

Same here - I usually put a comment whenever I am not sure.
It would be interersting to know which were common packers/crunchers in the old days, and what SYS lines they produced - I would not mind to have this thread as a reference. |

Crackers didnt spread their crunchers in the early days to lamers and demo makers.
when around 87, 1001 crew released the cardcruncher rom, and Network make group specific versions of their cruncher, it was something special.
then later people learned the needed skills on their education in IT, and more crunchers appeared.
but early, there was very few, and only elite had them. |

I am going through a lot of old disks now, and have concluded that I can't trust "C.S.S" (Computerbrains Cracking Service) and "1701 D.J" (D.J of 1701 Crackware) SYS-lines. These two swedish tags shows up on 1103, BCS and other oldie cracks a lot it seems, and I guess that means that their packers were spread back in the days, because I can't believe CCS or 1701 would do simple tags on other cracks leaving intros etc. |
