ArtMoney vs MemDBG

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.

MemDBG is a console payload and native frontend for memory inspection, scanning, debugging, trainer creation and research on PS4, PS5 and host machines. Its stated uses include offline homebrew development, reverse-engineering education, preservation and authorized security research. Scan workflows include exact values, process-wide searches, AOB patterns, pointer chains, unknown values and heuristic Smart Auto-Search. Debugging tools cover thread control, stepping, registers, breakpoints, watchpoints, stack walking and disassembly. Trainer workflows support .cht save and load, batchcode import, ON/OFF values, lock intervals and patch-to-trainer export. The frontend supports desktop-side Lua and Python plugins from repository manifests, with a public MemDBG plugin repository as its default source. It documents a GDB remote bridge for IDA Pro and an optional x64dbg plugin bridge. MemDBG is free and licensed GPL-3.0-or-later; it is in active pre-release development. Host builds bind to loopback by default, and the project recommends an allowlisted frontend IP for LAN sessions. Some macOS debugger actions may need SIP or code-signing changes; the iOS/iPadOS release artifact is unsigned.
