Kraksnax (aka KSX) is a contemporary Commodore 64 NTSC-focused software, graphics preservation, cracking, restoration group and website. Releases are particularly created on and produced for NTSC experience, although most often compatible with PAL machines. Releases always provide disk format but also .tap and .prg format, when applicable, and usually feature newly created intro graphics as well as program-format documentation or even game modifications. Kraksnax also produces new software and even games based on, or expanded from vintage sources (redux), and various restoration. Additionally the group release traditional 'cracks' or software repackaged with the intention towards incorporating various alternative, beneficial elements or for purposes of preservation in the contemporary age.
Nearly all originally releases are mis-credited on Gamebase64 as of 2024 with intent and regardless of providing actual credits to the site. Also on CSDB site, Kraksnax has been banned and is similarly the victim a malicious slander and mis-crediting by their moderators who frequently mis-credit and post defamatory comments without chance of retort and despite proper credits and data given. This is stated here for fact and clarity by the request of the group.
Process[edit | edit source]
(7-2021) Most software, especially 'cracks' of pre-existing vintage software, are almost always executed and tested on generally: one of 5 C64 Breadbin models, both US and Canadian NTSC; 1541/1571 model disk drives; C2N 1530 or Data Master datasette models and through a plethora of vintage techniques, hardware and software. Currently, the group is open to collaboration, processing, testing and packaging of any creator's new work and be reached through their website.
Company history[edit | edit source]
Initial members are longtime Commodore 64/128 users whose interest and use of Commodore computers dates back to 1982, including involvement in various areas of its history from underground BBS to typical hobbyist interests. Graphician Mo, the group's original founder (aka Mo Dernart) has provided all front-end graphics for the group's releases to-date (Summer 2021) along with the recoding of a couple games. Current membership includes: Mo Dernart, Josey Wales, Rawchild, Eldiron and Dr. Funkenstein. The original moniker of the group's name, as present on a few initial releases was "Mo's Kraksnax." This has been followed by simply "Kraksnax or KSX," but also "Kraksnax krakings" or other derivatives. 150+ releases as of August 2023.
