About Cronus Bench

Cronus Bench tests Cronus Zen scripts and scores them against a published method. The first board will cover NBA 2K27.

Who owns this site

Cronus Bench is owned by the same people who run Cronus Zens, a shop that sells Cronus Zen scripts. Some of those scripts appear in our rankings next to scripts from other sellers, and when you buy one, our owners make money.

You should know that before you read any score here. That is why it comes first on this page and appears at the foot of every other page on the site.

How we keep the scores honest

Owning a shop whose products we rank is a conflict of interest, and saying so does not make it go away. These are the rules we hold ourselves to.

There is one dimension where we know the design of the method helps Cronus Zens: setup friction rewards scripts that load from a browser, which is how Cronus Zens sells its scripts. The method page explains that in thesetup friction section, so you can decide how much weight to give it.

How testing works

Every test runs in offline modes, on one fixed setup per board, so the comparison between scripts is fair. Each review records the script version, the date, the console, the controller, the Zen firmware and the game version at the time, and every script is tested again each month.

We do not test whether a script can be detected, and we do not give advice on avoiding detection. No script is ban-proof. Using a Cronus Zen online can breach a game's terms of service and put your account at risk, which is why the method scores sellers on how honestly they describe that risk.

The Cronus Zen itself is made by Collective Minds. Nothing on this site is endorsed by Collective Minds or by any game publisher.

What we publish, and what we leave out

We publish a leaderboard for each game we cover, single-script reviews, head-to-head comparisons and a log of re-tests. We do not publish install guides or script downloads.

If you already own a Cronus Zens script, the setup guide on cronuszens.com covers installation. For any other script, follow the seller's own instructions, or theofficial Cronus Zen guide for the device itself.

Who writes the reviews

Reviews are credited to Cronus Bench rather than to a named writer. The Cronus Bench team tests and writes every one, and every one follows the published method. When the method changes, older reviews are marked with the version they were scored under until they are tested again.

Corrections

If a result looks wrong, the review shows how we got it: the version, the date, the setup and the numbers behind each score. When we find a mistake, we fix it and add a dated note to the review saying what changed and why.
