ArtMoney vs PINCE

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.

PINCE is a Linux GDB front end and reverse engineering tool focused on games, though its maker says it can also serve other reverse engineering work. It is free at free and licensed under GPLv3+. Its memory tools support scanning memory and pointers, inspecting and changing variables, and locking variables. Debugging features include stepping, breakpoints, watchpoints, tracking, tracing, stack traces, and signal handling. The built-in speedhack supports Linux native and WINE/Proton processes without LD_PRELOAD or other libraries. Runtime injection supports native.so files and WINE/Proton DLL files, and the Mono/IL2CPP dissector can browse classes, fields, and methods in those process types. Users can save address tables, bookmarks, notes, and structures in.pct session files. PINCE includes a scripting engine and reusable Python library. The project directs users to its latest AppImage release, stated to run on distributions as new as or newer than Ubuntu 22.04; older distributions are not officially supported. Official local development support includes Kubuntu 22.04+ and Arch Linux, with Debian 12+, Fedora 35+, and OpenSUSE partially supported.
