Game Cheetah vs ProMod

Game Cheetah is a desktop memory scanner and game trainer for finding, editing, and freezing values in running games. It can search integers, floating-point numbers, strings, UTF-16 strings, byte arrays, and unknown values, with workflows for narrowing results. Users can edit search results, freeze individual values or a complete result set, and inspect or change memory in a hex and ASCII view. The project describes offline single-player games, debugging, reverse engineering, modding, and educational work as intended uses, not online or multiplayer cheating. Cheat tables, address editing, and pointer scanning are experimental options, disabled by default and requiring an unsafe persistence setting. The maker warns that saved addresses or pointer chains can identify the wrong object after a restart, and that changing another process can cause crashes or unpredictable behavior. Game Cheetah supports Linux, Windows, and macOS. Release packages usually include Linux AppImage and .deb files, a Windows x64 ZIP, and a universal macOS .dmg. Linux process access may be restricted by operating-system settings such as Yama ptrace_scope.

ProMod manages memory modifications for individual processes on macOS and iOS. On a Mac, it writes four-byte ARM instructions into a target process and automatically uses code caving for larger patches. Special mods can follow an address in a CPU register and monitor or rewrite float or int32 values when thresholds are met. One-instruction mods can use hardware breakpoints without writing to the target app’s memory; the FAQ says a Mac processor allows six at a time. Keyboard shortcuts can trigger one or several mods, with audible cues. Setups can be saved and shared as portable .pro files, with built-in or password encryption. Bytes Diff scans for memory changes, and Memory Locator searches for hex patterns. Users can enter raw hex or ARM64 assembly, which ProMod assembles, and disassemble surrounding instructions. The Mac app requires an Apple Silicon Mac with macOS 12.0 or later; Intel Macs are unsupported. ProMod Mobile runs on non-jailbroken iOS devices but requires injecting libProModMobile.dylib with Sideloadly or a similar tool. The maker describes it for debugging, learning, single-player, and offline use.
