Incorrect Hex cheat for X Beyond The Frontier
Info about X Beyond The Frontier is incorrect---SEE BELOW

Number 29835 does not give a value of 12A but does give a value of 748B.
Number 298 is correct for the value of 12A.
I don't know a lot about computers so I may be incorrect but if you take the time to run this through your calculator you will see what I'm talking about.
I've been searching the Internet for about 3 days and most of the sites give this info for a HEX cheat. It seems that a lot of people didn't do their homework or I need to learn a lot more about using the calculator.

Save your game, and note how many credits you have.



Open up the savegame in a hex editor (the first save game
is named X0.SAV then X1.SAV etc etc) DO NOT try and edit X99.SAV,
it's the save game list.

Open up windows calculator, switch to scientific view. type in
your credits *withouth the comma* ie. if you have 298.35 credits,
you type in 29835 and click Hex.

It will give you the value of 12A, since in hex each number is
represented by 2 digits, simply put a zero at the start so it
makes 012A.

Now search for this value in the savegame. You will find it twice
and you must change it in both places. The first location is near
BC90, although this *can* change...

To reiterate, convert the whole number *without* the comma. change both places!
