I gave this tool a try, and it failed me miserably. But I won't do a negative review if the developer is keen on changes because The Cheat does have potential.
I tried iHaxGamez which puts to shame The Cheat !
With iHaxGamez you search for the number in the left, wait for the game to change that number and then pause it and use iHaxGamez lower right search box to with the new number.
So easy that someone even made a video for it - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YRUs8_tZI4o
iHaxGamez - http://sourceforge.net/projects/ihaxgamez/
So if the developer really wants to make The Cheat worth using, I'd suggest following suit with iHaxGamez and allowing a search to compare the changes, otherwise people will be blindly changing numbers at addresses in memory or crashing their games.

What am I doing wrong?
Anyway, it seems you can get this version of the cheat to work by making it execute as root. To do this, open up terminal and navigate inside the application using something like
cd /Applications/Games/The Cheat.app/Contents/MacOS/
You'll need to use a different path if you've placed the application in a different place than I did. Then type
sudo chown root The Cheat
followed by your admin password, then type
sudo chmod +s The Cheat
This should make it work again. Note that you'll have to repeat the steps if you move the application.
I think that'd be something to put in the next update to The Cheat.
