ArtMoney vs CheatDeck

ArtMoney is a standalone Windows game memory editor for locating and changing values in running PC games, such as money, health, ammunition, and resources. Its search methods cover exact and range values, unknown and encoded values, sequences, hexadecimal data, structures, and formulas. Tools for memory analysis include pointer scanning, a memory editor, a disassembler, a debugger, and breakpoints. ArtMoney Tables are AMT files with prepared game information such as saved addresses and descriptions; the tables page lists 6,728 tables. It also provides emulator options and supports emulator addresses and pointers. Microsoft Windows is the listed system requirement, with 32-bit and 64-bit versions and support for Windows 10 and 11. The free SE edition omits some features, including folder and structure search, and its pointer-to-pointer scanner handles up to three levels, compared with six in PRO. PRO costs $24.90 per one-time payment; updates of ArtMoney v8 Pro Edition are free. The vendor says the program is not intended for multiplayer or online games.

CheatDeck is a free, GPL-3.0 Decky Loader plugin for Steam Deck that launches sidecar programs and manages game launch options. It can start a selected .exe or .bat alongside a game in the same Proton or Wine environment, then stop it when the game exits. Its Language setting assigns one locale code to both LANG and HOST_LC_ALL. Advanced controls cover desktop behavior, FSYNC, WineD3D, compatibility-data redirection, and audio latency. Custom Options accept environment assignments, prefix commands, and arguments before or after %command%. Unsupported shell syntax or unclear launch options make a document read-only to prevent unsafe partial edits. Optional Lossless Scaling and OptiScaler presets require their corresponding Decky plugins. Installation uses Decky Loader Developer Mode and CheatDeck.zip from a release or nightly build. Some sidecars need runtime dependencies installed with protontricks.
