I wonder if anyone knows a fast usable hack to accomplish this. It used to be one of my favorites but give me a break at 40 games which have no save feature and I mean quicksave/quickload any time I want is a waste of my time.

This is what AI come up with:

1. Game Wizard 32 / Game Wizard Pro
The most famous and capable. Originally from Taiwan (AIST), it was essentially "the Cheat Engine of its day."

Core feature: "Save/Load Game" function that could dump the entire memory space of a running process to a file and reload it later.

Worked with DirectX and many 2D games. Compatibility with Commandos was reported but sometimes unstable.

Required a fair amount of RAM (for the era) and disk space for the memory dumps.

2. FPE (Fix People Expert) 2000 / FPE 2001
The legendary Taiwanese game trainer/debugger. While primarily a memory scanner/editor, later versions (FPE 2000+) included a "Save Game" function.

This saved the game's memory image. However, it was less reliable than Game Wizard's implementation and notorious for causing crashes on reload, especially with complex games like Commandos.

3. Ultra Game Player (UGP)
Another Taiwanese multi-tool. It had memory save/load functionality but was less polished than Game Wizard.

4. ArtMoney
A Russian-origin memory editor (still updated today!). Its early versions (late 1990s) had basic memory snapshot capabilities, but they were experimental.

As for now I just run it in Win98SE vmware and save the whole ram, sluggish but works, the game has very weird timing and mouse movement in vmware tho so I would prefer to replay it on a real host. Remastered I don't care of.
