Cheat Shop: Is it in the Game?

[autumnaki2]

Hello there, '

Has anyone checked to see if the Cheat Shop is in this version of the game? https://princessmaker.fandom.com/wiki/Cheat_Shops_(PM2)

It was removed in the Refine port of the game according to the wiki.
Considering that this game costs way too much, cheating for money is the only thing I can maybe think of that would set it apart from the Refine version.

I just wrote my review, and I haven't checked myself. I find this port underwhelming.

No its not. It never was in any version of the game except the original 1993 release for PC.
Just use cheat engine or similar if you want to cheat money, changing numeric values is usually super easy with Cheat Engine.

From what I can tell, the original intent of the Cheat Shops were to function as both a programmer debug toolset and a gallery for seeing various art assets.

Being that there is now a formal gallery included from the main menu, I don't think it's dire that these shops are missing, but I can see how it makes it harder for folks looking to experiment with money and stats since an external tool is probably required to manipulate stuff under-the-hood. It will be interesting to see if modding tools come along for this in the future.

Forget the cheat shop, that was always exclusive to the DOS version. The problem is, It's hard to cheat with this version because it's on unity and cheatengine does not really work well with it. Unless someone knows how to use it..
