ArtMoney vs scanmem

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.

scanmem is a free, open-source interactive debugging utility for finding and changing variable values in an executing process. It searches a process by PID and uses values observed over successive scans to narrow the possible memory addresses. The command-line tool can search for exact values, compare changed or unchanged values, find increases or decreases, take snapshots, and search strings when configured for string scans. It can monitor matches as their values change and set values for selected matches or all known matches. GameConqueror provides a graphical front end with a process finder, flexible search syntax, variable locking, and a memory browser and editor; users can choose search regions and types. The project separates the command-line frontend from libscanmem, which performs the scanning. The project describes scanmem as a Linux utility and documents an Android build using a standalone Android NDK toolchain. Linux interactive commands require libreadline and a mounted /proc filesystem, while the GUI has additional dependencies. The default scan data type is int, though the option command can change it. scanmem is GPLv3; libscanmem is LGPLv3.
