This may be a taboo topic, but it's REALLY too easy to give yourself infinite money/whatever. SQLite? Really? Any DB editor WILL make you cheat! In the original Uplink you had to have a HEX editor to cheat! Hex editor > SQLite DB editor!

I know. And i don't like cheaters. I don't understand why people want to cheat.

Maybe not relevant since I found the game late, but I just used Cheat Engine (memory scanner/changer)... surprised me when I couldn't do that with Onlink at first but didn't take long to figure out what I needed to do (I'd lost a save and wanted to get back to where I was relatively quickly), I know it wouldn't have taken long to figure out with a hex editor either (I've used them for similar reasons before). No matter what you do it's possible to cheat, and if it's "hard" to cheat, someone will write a program to make it easy once the method of cheating is figured out. As for HEX editor > SQL db... BINARY > HEX 011011000110111101101100 (6c 6f 6c) or maybe I should say BASE64 (bG9s) or...

Once one person figures out how to do it all it takes is a google search (and even before then you have save downloads)
