Lookin' for a tool
Hi gang,
I am looking for the MS Cruncher V1.5, as used by Tropyx, please can you tell me where I can find this tool. Is it any better than Cruncher AB, Byteboiller? Also is it a fast one as well? I hate really slow shitty crunchers?
Your reply would be appreciated.

Generally the slower = smaller file. Faster = bigger file. I'm yet to find some cruncher that is fast and gives small files (comparitevly). Tried emu64.pl? they have lots of tools and it isn't too hard to navigate. I only know english yet I found the tools on a Polish language site :) |

I think Byte Boiler is the best if you want it a bit fast and rather good (only 1 block difference with the slower but very famous and good crunchers) on a real c64!

The best&fastest cruncher on C64 is ByteBoiler (but you have to own at least a REu/SCPU&RAM). For "normal" C64 the best (and slowest...) cruncher is AB-Cruncher, which uses nearly the same algorithm like Byteboiler does. For the BEST crunch-result you have to use Exomizer (on PC). |

Abuze Crunch 3.2 does well. My fave. I also like it since I have source code version so I can add/remove stuff in a tidy way :) |

Coders-
Use PuCrunch tool by Pasi Ojala. It runs on PC platforms and generates c64 executables.
Enjoy.

Who cares about crunch speed in the age of emulators? Just turn your emu into warp speed and voila. Or were you boys maybe referring to the decrunch speed?!??! |

In that case, I shall stick to 'Byte Boiler' and 'Cruncher AB'. I can't be asked to muck around with PuCrunch or Exomizer, as there'd be more than one task to complete (More hassle that way). |
