Before diving into the specifics, let's clarify the terminology. "Fling" refers to the username of a prolific trainer developer (MrAntiFun, often hosted on platforms like FlingTrainer.com or the WeMod client). A trainer is a standalone program that runs alongside your game, injecting code into its memory to alter variables in real-time. Purists often argue that using a trainer destroys
Unlike a ROM hack or a mod, a trainer does not permanently alter game files. You activate it, play, and once you close the program, your game returns to its original state.
