DISCLAIMER: The author will accept no responsibility to any harm caused by this procedure. Please use caution when folllowing directions, and attempt it only on
files you can afford to lose. This procedure is NOT sanctioned by the author of MacSyndicate, Bullfrog Productions.
NOTE: This procedure WILL work on the PC version of Syndicate.
What you see in Norton Utilities' Disk Editor may vary depending on the way your Syndicate is set up. It should be roughly the same. If you still can't find the cash,
record the amount of cash you had when you saved and convert it to hex and search
the file for that hex amount. ( The only problem with that is that you are continously gaining cash from taxes and losing it from research! ).
1) Test this procedure on a copy of your saved game first.
2) Get a calculator that can convert hex to decimal and vice versa.
3) Go to Norton Disk Editor (not resedit: this is the data fork).
4) Select THE COPY of the game you'd like to edit (The games are in the 'SAVE' folder).
5) Open the saved game:
Note the data from the underline to the cursor in the picture.
This is the amount of cash you have in hexadecimal.
Note that 249F0 in hex equals 150000 decimal, which is $150,000.
6) Optional: Use a calculator to find the amount you'd like to have in hex.
NOTE: FFFFFFFF ( 4294967295 decimal ) is the maximum amount you can edit your cash to. Any more will crash the game. When you first open up your game, it will show a negative number. Just spend some cash and it will be normal.
7) Edit the bytes to 'FFFFFFFF' ( 4294967295 decimal ) and then save this sector:
And thats it! Just repeat when you're low on cash! Keep your countries at a low tax rate to keep them happy. Fund all research to the max and buy your group all the best weapons and mods.
Here's a trick: Say you get a mini-gun ( or any weapon ) off a dead guy, but you don't know how to make them yet so you think you can't get any more. When the mission is over, select the character with the mini-gun. Notice that you won't have the option to reload or buy another. You're screwed right? Wrong. Select the mini-gun from the members invintory. Now click on another member. Hey! The sell button changed to purchase! Now buy one for everyone! When it's low, sell it, click on another member's mini-gun, click back on the member who's gun you just sold and buy another!
All this research by Kadaver in one short half-hour! Thanks to the guy who wrote the SimCity 2K Cheat, or I wouldn't have used this format to express how to cheat. This is an original file written by Kadaver who invented the cheat ( and discovered the trick mentioned ).
