Hacking Emulation Homebrew MungPlex: A Cheating Utility for Emulators and PC Games with Bonus Features

[LawnMeower]

Hi there,

for quite some time I've been working on this project. I got the idea because it always annoyed me many emulators don't offer a built-in cheat engine or only have a very limited one. So I've created a one in all solution that also supports PC games and comes with some extra features

You can find some more detailed instructions on the wiki page.
The project itself and release files can be found here.

Caution

Cheat Searches for PC games are slow as of now.
Backup your save games if you happen to mess with a lot of random values.
Don't use this tool during online gameplay.
If you suffer from epilepsy or get easily startled, use this tool with caution since editing random values can cause flashing visuals or sudden load noises going on.
