Sim City Cash Injector V1.0d Introduction. You are advised to read this text file through fULLY before use !!!!!!!! The program is a doddle to use and you won't need to read this more than once (I hope). If you are using this program you can probably remember the numerous times when many magazines would tell you to hold shift and type MONEY, to get another $10,000. The only problem with this cheat was that after three increases there would be a major earthquake, so you would spend all that money again rebuilding your city. The other slight problem was that you had an upper limit of $89,999. In terms of spending it was a lot but could easily be frittered away on an airport and a few sea ports. Well that time has come to an end. With my new program you can in fact increase the amount of money to $2,046,820,350, the maximum amount of money the program will let you have. You may well notice that after having done this to your game, the Simcity display only shows it as $2,046M, and this is sooooooo much that you are unlikely to even spend the $820,350 fraction of it so the display won't even change. This all has its benefits, like not having to worry about money all the time. For instance you don't need to worry too much when trying to make a road neater because it will cost you $5. Also you have the added benefit of being able to drop the tax rate to 0% and not worry, and watch the population shoot up. Instructions. So how do you use this fantastic program ??? 1)Save your file in Simcity 2)Quit Simcity and then load SimCity Cash Injector 3)Read the titles 4)Select your saved file 5)Enter the value you would like (-1 gives the maximum) 6)press return 7)Your file is saved, reload it into simCity 8)Register this software WARNING-WARNING-WARNING-WARNING-WARNING-WARNING-WARNING-WARNING WARNING-WARNING-WARNING-WARNING-WARNING-WARNING-WARNING-WARNING WARNING-WARNING-WARNING-WARNING-WARNING-WARNING-WARNING-WARNING: While all efforts have been made to check the validity of Simcity saved game files the program can only make simple checks and so This program CAN NOT properly differentiate between file types, selecting a file other than a SimCity saved file could ultimately damage, often seriously that file, so beware only use SimCity saved game files (extension .CTY, length 27248bytes/95K). So you ask, how can I prevent the loss of my new $100 program. This should be quite simple: Keep saved game files on a totally different disk, not even the original Simcity disk. Be very aware of which files you are trying to change and keep alert to the disk in the drive. Keep any disks lying around write protected. HOWEVER treated carefully this program should prove no problem at all, as with all diskeditors, sectoreditors etc. used without due care and attention, it should be no trouble, however REMEMBER: it can be potentially lethal. Other Stuff. Bugs fixed so far: + Drive searched always A: changed to current directory and drive + Values above programs maximum returned -ve values, so check put on values entered. + Program saved out file of 255K as opposed to 27K (partially, see below) fixed. + A file size check included to make sure files of correct size. + Any value can be entered now as opposed to just maximum (HEX-DEC/DEC-HEX, converter added). Known Bugs: The file size when the new saved game is saved is 95K instead of 27K, (any suggestions???), however this doesn't seem to affect the game in anyway (it seems only to load the first 27K). No others. Future Plans: + Adding a date changer, useful in the scenarios. + The BIG ONE - a map editor + a version that will accept PC files to change (on an ST though I'm afraid) SEE BELOW + your suggestions please ! FOR PC SAVED GAME CHANGER I WILL NEED YOUR HELP: I don't have a PC version of SimCity, so anyone willing to send me a copy will greatly help, and receive full registration free (of course (please fill in the form and enclose it, but don't send ANY cash)). register the copy and send me a disk chocked full of PC saved games and exactly how much cash each saved game has, then I will do my best to allow PC games to be changed.
