ChooChoo Loader vs HearMods

ChooChoo Loader launches games through Proton or WINE alongside trainers, mods, patches, or other executables and DLLs. It can start a game and another program together, and supports up to five additional executables or DLLs. Before injecting a DLL, it checks whether its 32-bit or 64-bit architecture matches. Users can save and load profiles, have the last-used profile open automatically after a configurable delay, and reselect recently used game or trainer executables. The v5.0 release describes a touch-first interface with larger controls for touch and mouse input. The project README describes use with Steam and Proton on Steam Deck, and with Whisky on macOS; it cautions that Whisky is unsuitable for this style of gaming when binaries require complex memory manipulation. ChooChoo Loader lists Linux, macOS, web, and Windows. It is free, open-source software under the MIT License. The project directs users who find a bug to report it but does not specify a support service.

HearMods provides free Windows PC game trainers for offline, single-player use. Each trainer is a standalone.exe file that requires no installation. The files modify running game memory to enable options such as infinite health, unlimited items, and damage multipliers. Controls include keyboard hotkeys and a graphical interface with checkboxes and real-time sliders. Available trainers are listed for Elden Ring and Cyberpunk 2077; Baldur’s Gate 3 and Starfield are marked coming soon. The Elden Ring trainer has 32 options for versions v1.02–v1.16.1 on Windows 10/11. The Cyberpunk 2077 trainer has 15 options for versions v2.0–v2.13 on Windows 10/11. HearMods says trainers are updated after major patches and checked before release. It says the files do not connect to the internet and use no telemetry, analytics, or phone-home behavior. Antivirus software may flag them as false positives. The free plan costs nothing, with no subscription or payment required.
