[MW] Making a savedgame car editor in VB6?

im thinking about making such programme...... but there are some bits that im not sure about: (this will probably in VB6)
1. the input/output methord, do i use Binary or Random methord? if Random, what will be the record length?
2. should i use a INI file to save all the possible upgrades? (i know how to do it) im just wondering whether to hard code it into the programme or to leave it in an INI file.
3. if possible, could people who've already made the savedgame editor (fix checksum and change money and name) send me a sample code (a module would be nice) on the access of the saved game file?

i really want to make such programme, so any help would be welcomed.

1. binary
2. use ini.. it'll save you lots of time later on
3. the checksum is simply a MD5. Look at first official save game editor (forgot what it was called)... it contains a basic technical description of the format.
