RAM Cheat finds memory addresses where a program maintains certain variables, in the context of games such as the number of lives, ammunition, funds, energy, etc. This is achieved by multiple examination of the program's virtual memory space. You only have to specify the current value of the variable and/or you let RAM Cheat know what happens to the variable as time passes, e. g. whether its value is increasing or decreasing.

RAM Cheat then allows you to inject a new value of your choice directly into the running process. It can even update this value automatically e.g. in 1/100 second intervals.
