~Gateworld

An edit cheat  -  By Simon Burrows

`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....
