Cheat Menu != Cheat Engine
Cheat Engine has been around for several years and like I said is a 3rd party program, which does NOT alter game files.
Lol dude, you don't have to tell me what is Cheat Engine. I'm one of Cheat Tables makers on fearlessrevolution and published a lot of tables there, I'm a professional programmer and I know assembly very well.
And I can tell you, that Cheat Engine isn't the right tool for RPG Maker games. RPG Maker is a runtime environment and the RPG Maker VX is even based on v8 engine/node.js (JavaScript). You can't make pointers or auto assembler scripts for it, since it has no static code and searching every time for values is not a solution.
So I'm just telling that Cheat Menu is the best and easiest tool to cheat in RPG Maker VX games.
Try this one.
4 byte in cheat engine then search for the value using this formula
Value = (money * 2) + 1
I dont know if that works, but thats what i do when using cheat engine on rpgm. Hope this helps.
There is an assembly script that can be added as custom type in CE.

Right click on "Value Type" Combobox in Cheat Engine add choose "Define new custom type (Auto Assembler)"
