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). |

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 |

Yes, I agree that the person wants the answer to the query and gets answers which is great but almost feels like something such as.. 'How can i improve my typing speed to type the below faster..'
poke 49152,169
poke 49153,0
poke 49154,141
poke 49155,32
poke 49156,208
poke 40157,96
when a quick alternative would be something such as
m $c000 a9,00,8d,20,d0,60
Hihih. Just me in a funny mood. ignore ;-}

[inverse on]shift+q[inverse off]cbm+k ...etc... |

By the time the commodore/shift key and combo keys are pressed together with the required key it would be faster just to type something such as 'a9' Just all for fun really. for productivity and anything decent, then assembler it is |

Didn't Crest's version of the Cruncher AB use 2MHz? |

There is a functional reason for using a Commodore based cruncher. It saves space. The Darksqueezer's decruncher uses only slightly more than a block of memory. If you are going to spend hours composing music, cracking a game, creating a demo then to spend an extra few minutes crunching it with a good Commodore cruncher is not that big a deal. Using a PC based cruncher only serves for a specific need such as the Gold version of Ultima IV. |
