Crinkler VS oneKpaq

Compare Crinkler vs oneKpaq and see what are their differences.

Crinkler

Crinkler is an executable file compressor (or rather, a compressing linker) for compressing small 32-bit Windows demoscene executables. As of 2020, it is the most widely used tool for compressing 1k/4k/8k intros. (by runestubbe)

    Now they just need to port something like oneKpaq to 16 bit or maybe something from the extremely tiny decompressor thread [1], just to test compression level to get an idea kpaq on its quickest setting(taking minutes instead of what could be days on its highest) reduced SectorC to 82.81% of its size, of course adding the 128 bit stub knocked it to 677 bytes. It would be interesting to try it on the slowest takes day to bruteforce setting, but I'm not going to attempt that.

    Some of the compressors in that forum thread since they are 32 bytes and such, might find it easier to get net gains.

    Crinkler [1] is a popular compressor-linker for 1--8 KB demos and its decompressor (partially embedded in a PE header) is probably around 1--200 bytes. Later efforts like oneKpaq [2] also have a comparable decompressor size.

    If you don't mind a shameless plug and a slightly larger decompressor (about 500 bytes in JS) for better compression, my Roadroller [3] might fit the bill as well.
