    My favorite software acronym is PINCE, the reverse engineering tool that’s similar to Cheat Engine in Winblols, that stands for PINCE Is Not Cheat Engine.

      My favorite is the scanning device interface driver protocol.

        I really wanted this to be true but according to Wikipedia that’s an unofficial backronym. :( Sorry to be Debbie Downer.

        I’m partial to a good TLA (three letter acronym) myself.

        Game Conqueror also works, but is missing a lot of features too from what I can tell. Don’t know how it holds up against PINCE.

        I’ve had success getting CE to run with Proton though, specifically by using SteamTinkerLaunch to run it as additional custom command with the game. There are other ways too, like protontricks. In my experience, it has been mostly stable, with the occasional freeze, but generally usable for pointer scanning and such.

        Sadly not, Cheat Engine has a whole lot more features. PINCE is still very good though
