PC (PC Cheats)
| Game: Gateworld | Platform: PC |
This was much more difficult to 'hack' than normal, to say the
least, since the save game files become different lengths
depending on which difficulty level you are using, which slot you
have saved your game under, and by which name you have saved it
by. This means that the area of the save-game file that contains
information on your number of lives, shots etc. is also different
each time! Because of this, the following edit is more complicated
than usual, and will require the use of a HEX-Editor with a
feature for searching strings of HEX.
To work the edit, complete the following steps...
i) Load Gateworld and start a new game remembering whether it
is an easy, normal or hard game.
ii) When the game begins, don't move and don't shoot!! Press
[ESC] to get the menu, and select the 'Save Game' option.
Select the top slot and save you game under any name you
like. When the game is saved, quit Gateworld and get back
to a DOS prompt.
iii) Now load a HEX-Editor with a search feature and pop-up the
file called "SAVGAME0.GW1".
iv) Make a search for one of the following strings depending on
whether you were in a easy, normal or hard game :-
EASY - 06 00 00 00 0A 00
NORMAL - 03 00 00 00 05 00
HARD - 01 00 00 00 04 00
v) When you arrive at the destination, change the string
located there to the following :-
84 03 84 03 84 03
vi) Now load Gateworld back up, load your save game, and you
should find you have 900 coins, 900 lives and 900 shots!!
What fun!!
Sorry about the complications....
