best cruncher running on c128
While everyone is using Exomizer those days on PCs I am wondering what was the best cruncher that could utilize fast mode of c128 (in c64 mode). |

Darksqueezer. There was a 2mhz C=128 version of Timecruncher created in the late 80s. |

I remember using some version of CruelCruncher which used the 2MHz-Mode. I think ByteBoiler does use it, too. But come to think of it, I wonder if there isn't a cruncher for C128-mode? The extra memory might even more help than the extra speed. |

Found another one: Time Cruncher V3.3 (Special Version) |

I don't know about sizes but Abuze Crunch supports 2 MHz mode. |

Time cruncher v4.2 (Network version) or V5.0 uses 2MHz C128 |

I know this may be off topic as the initial query was in regards to which cruncher performs well speed/compression on c128. But one thing is the following..
Why use a C64/C128 for compressing data? The inconvenience of having to wait a huge amount of time when on the other hand you can have the data compressed in seconds on a PC system.
For exploring new vic/audio tricks etc or running the final demo etc on C64 to see if there are any glitches, flicker etc is fair enough, but all the other stuff (compressing/converting) etc should IMO be done on a PC or similar system |

The trimode trucolor conv, imci fmv converters etc (Ouch. given too much away :-} ) will be released when the trackloader is complete ;-} Have barely any time left (9-5 job, girlfriend etc - excuses excuses) |

Algo: AlexC clearly asks what WAS the best cruncher that uses 2MHz mode. He doesn't ask what IS the fastest way to crunch today ;-) |

I know :-} Hence why i stated that it may be offtopic to mention it. But whats the point really? No advantage at all unless the c64/c128 is the only computer available |
