[@aooide]

can you show me a tutorial for diepio how to hack ur stats

[@successorentertainment6594]

Dont click Jakes Pad Dude's click bait bs...... it's obviously malware....

[@Ze6rah]

Why in the row where it says "address" numbers goes after letters?

[@successorentertainment6594]

Because an "address" is a HEXADECIMAL value that refers to where it's at in your mobo's RAM.... the value is what you want to display as DECIMAL (in a case like this.....I usually have values display as hexadecimal anyway unless it's a FLOAT/DOUBLE) You are watching Part 6..... you should start with Part 1 and learn from the beginning.

[@Ze6rah]

you didnt understood what i asked let me try again Why addresses look like this: 4A 4b 4c 4d 4e 4f 50 51 52 53 54 56 57 58 59, but not like this: 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 4a 4b 4c 4d 4e 4f

[@gabrielchites]

*Useful tip:* If you're looking for a decimal value you don't need to view the memory as hex values. Simply right-click the memory viewer to open the context menu and select "Display Type -> 4 Byte Decimal" and boom you see all memory in decimal (or whatever type you selected to display). I'm not sure if it existed by the time this video was recorded, but I recently found it out while learning Cheat Engine. So I hope it helps somebody ;)

[@user-eg5gt4cq3g]

Gabriel Mello thx

[@ericbridge8419]

Omg It works! Thank you so much :)

[@ericross5048]

Thank you!!!

[@ericross5048]

This was a huge help!

[@PropagandaGoose]

I know you shared this piece 7 years ago but thank you so much. I was getting frustrated why all the numbers are showing in hex, didn't even cross my mind to right click.

[@Ayodehi]

In reference to the "Some sort of math to get the hitpoints". It's not math per se, it's what's known as "little endian byte order". In memory the bytes are reversed. So when you did FF 01, the actual hexadecimal value at that point is 01FF or 511, when you did FF 02 it's really 02FF or 767. This applies to shorts (2 bytes) and ints (4 bytes) and longs (8 bytes).

[@CoffeeKitty.]

thanks for this tidbit - 6 years later :P

[@kebetulanbisa]

As a very new user of cheat engine, before i watched your videos, i thought it takes year to messed up with CE. And i found your channel at the other side of KZbin. *_THANKYOU_*

[@kol101101]

I am so glad you left in all the bugs and weird stuff. So true, so real

[@pellawarrior5281]

Hey, thanks to this video on the memory viewer, I managed to find the address that controls the maximum health level of the first assassin creed, the issue that got me stuck... It works just the same as the final fantasy health points! Thanks heaps, making progresses motivates me to go in deeper with CE!

[@StephenChapman]

+Il Pella Glad to see you're picking it up! The more you delve into it, you'll find that methods like this one, you won't end up using very often (due to other, more efficient methods of finding values). But knowing all these things will allow you full freedom to approach difference scenarios as you need to. =)

[@luterokinkade4882]

Thanks for this! I've been using Cheat Engine for years but never really dove into memory edits and pointer scans. Your series has me on the right track for learning more advanced stuff like this and pointer scans/sustained edits for adresses. :D

[@StillMusician]

Litte hint: Right-click the memory region and select "Display Type" -> "Byte Decimal". You dont need to calculate the hex values by your own :).

[@Sparonax]

Great tutorial! Just a little tip to you: Use Dissect data & Structure (tools)

[@StephenChapman]

Thanks so much! And yeah, I've been spending the past month finally taking my CE skills to the next level. I've done a few more videos since this one, one of which goes into using dissect data/structures instead of this. Knowing what I know now, I probably would've done this video quite differently, lol. But, I guess it's still good for the skill set to be able to navigate through the memory viewer! =) Thanks again for watching and for your comment! (Link to the other tutorial I mentioned: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aIW8cpdpoZegobs )

[@Sparonax]

No Problem dude, do you visit the CE forum sometimes? Its a good place to talk with people, ask questions even the CE creator itself (Dark Byte). EDIT: you can learn a LOT there, almost everything I know came from there.

[@ReverseCode]

the byte read is right-to-left, this is explaneid FF 02 is 767 decimal, 2FF = 767, if a i want incrase by 1 255+1 = 100 in hex, i need to put "00 01"

[@MalfunctioningAndroid]

Thank you so much. I watched first 12 minutes and my problem solved itself after I switched values to 4 byte decimal. You are a rockstar, sir.

[@Vazzible_gaming]

Ohh that's legit af, i didn't realize thing were so close together in hex,i love your videos man. These tips make me giddy, I'm learning at least 3 things per video.

[@s.t.d.r.a.s.h.3703]

I just search on Google for a hex calculator and typed in : hex calculator app HEX CONVERTER PLUS, and downloaded it onto my android and laptop and it automatically gives the decimal, binary equations. Check it out.... by the way a big shout out to all the haters. Thanks because if it weren't for them, I may have never had the amazing opportunity to learn from you by watching your highly amazing detailed tutorial videos.... make more i love them ARTILLERYSNIPER.

[@0xnpctim]

You are the best teacher ever.

[@alexanderthegreat8644]

Super informative! I always avoided that memory viewer as it made 0 sense. In this instance I would've had a helluva time figuring out the max health values unless i kept track of them and scanned if they went up when the character leveled up. Thank you! will watch your other vids.

[@wlaskin_stanislaw]

12:00 Thank you so much for your tutorials. I'm not sure if this option was in your version of the CE, but now we can just change the view with the help of a right click=>Display Type=>exactly what you need, and no longer worries about the hex representation^^

[@RoninJeremy]

Awesome video! Thanks for going over the grid, it really isn't that bad after your explanations. I stretched the grid over a 40-inch screen at 4k and saw so much information popping up. I was having a hard time editing values that only showed as 2 bytes but I knew should be higher, like experience and gold in lufia 2. I love old RPG's but don't like the grind at times.

[@jakenbake8855]

I'm watching you man and you say you are beginner but you are pretty good and you catch my attention as well...you are great !

[@yamabamlo]

Thanks for this, I've been trying to get more advanced with CE and this video really helped.

[@wasiimo]

I hacked minesweeper and Roblox with your previous tutorials and I can't even imagine what I am capable of now!!

[@marccoleman3147]

just in case you care , the math at the health increase , was the doubling of the number x the 01-02 ect plus the number used. ie you 255 x 01 =511 because it was 255 x 2 = 510 = the initial 1 = 511 an so on,

[@FlashXX97]

Simply put, it swaps the position of the 2 bytes and views those 2 bytes as the HP. (Little endian)

[@marccoleman3147]

FlashXX97 my bro passed away Sunday. (Mc)

[@marccoleman3147]

***** very he commited suicide :( a yr lata I still cant beleive it

[@jonny5825]

marc coleman It was just in little endian, you switch the FF and the 01 to make 01FF, which in hex is 511

[@ericbridge8419]

Thanks :)

[@PedoBearNomsLoli]

Ugh... Memory Values.... I remembered I took a while to play around with Hex Editor for a game save file. But after not touching that program for a long while, I already forgot how to do that stuff. Messing around with memory values is not much fun. And I'm always scared of accidentally screwing up a value that could ruin my game/save... Especially when it was concerning the round about way of editing saves like a PS3 save. First transfer the save file to my computer. Then edit the values. Then bring it back to the PS3 and then find out what it changed. So goddamn time consuming. Makes me that extra thankful for the existence of emulators. I wish there was a way to view what exactly they would change in the game, somehow. Edit: OMFG. I didn't know the Microsoft Calculator had that kinda function. I wish I had known of that sooner.... So that's how you figure what Hexdec numbers equal to....

[@HandyFox333]

Having a conversation with a guy in the past: 2013 Guy: "...Open calculator. If you have Windows 7, you can change your calculator from standard to programmer." 2021 Dude: "Oh that's good I'm on Windows 10 so it should be no problem." 2013 Guy: "Windows 10? That's quite the jump from 7!" 2021 Dude: "Well there's 8 and 8.1 as you know. That didn't last long. No one knows why Microsoft skipped 9..."

Guys, in order to truly understand this, LEARN THE BASICS OF BINARY FIRST

[@davidnguyen9065]

Toon You'll learn hexadecimal naturally when learning binary basics - it will mention it no matter what

[@StephenChapman]

I have a video on hexadecimal if you're interested in checking it out. Unless I'm reading through disassembled code that contains bitwise operators, I very rarely utilize binary; however, I probably use hexadecimal more than decimal in my daily life these days, lol. (In addition to hacking games, I'm a graphic artist and web designer, so I commonly deal with color values in hex, etc.) Anywho, here's the video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/npLbfnx3q8ecmq8

very good and helpful, thank you for the video , I always used to be scared from that window :) another thing that scares me a little bit , is the scripting used in CE , some of the tables I download contains scripts , that provides a huge advantage over the normal functionality of CE , for now I'm going to settle with downloading tables but I'd love it if someone can do a video about it

[@austinberry2732]

The value uses big endian so if you were going to convert it to decimal, the hex value would be 0x2FF or 767 base 10. No math involved there from the game's perspective.

Okay you may never respond but ive seen how you changed character names to AAA to ABCD etc. now i assume each character is a one byte char? Now shouldnt an asci value for A be 43 and respect 2B in hex? Just confused as to why its 8A

Hi really good guide it’s very nice I have question in metal gear solid 2 substance I made the infinite ammo and Also for health , but when I restart the game ammo working but health not working I need to search health again

[@galaxis912]

Amazing! Tuts. This video seems most relevant to what I am trying to do. I have questions about finding the values of character frame-data in fighting games. For example: Light Punch, Med Punch, Hard Punch and Kicks. The LP has is a total of 13 frames. MP has a total of 21 frames. HP has a total of 30 frames. How do I find the values of animations- associated with LP, MP and HP. Using the "ArtMoney" hex editor, I was told to search a "range of values" (search 1 address with 13 different values =LP) 1 value for each "Light Punch" frame. But I don't have a clue how to do that in Cheat Engine. In "Artmoney" they have what is called "search structure" which often contains all the attributes of a character and bypasses DMA or the need for pointers, since the values are the source. For Cheat Engine, can you shed some light on this?

[@tintedwindows2094]

[@coolfarmer]

What if an address change? Is there a way to detect if that address will change later? I don't find any tutorial in your series where you are talking about that.

I don't know if you still teaching people through this channel, but i wanted to ask your help in a little question... Like we do in javascript with console.log, how can we see the value of the opcode vars (I mean these: esi, edi, ebx, etc...) thank you.

[@LaujVwj]

im playing a game and trying to understand the memory view of cheat engine. how come when i change the values like you did the actual opcode changes also? is it because it's a pointer or something? for example. if i randomly click somewhere at the bottom and just type some repeated numbers and each of the repeated numbers give the same opcode?

Does cheat engine work with emulators. So I use retro arch and wanted to do some stuff with it. I can find the addresses when the game is loaded but when I exit it’s gone so I try and find the offsets and the pointer scan shows no results every time.

What if I wanna patch the value and it is stored in a memory? How do I find the static bytes which I can permanently hex edit?

[@ecLipseOW]

Y0 nice video I love ya but i have a question and that's: How can you change gravity or activate flight or something ? I know you can do it cause i saw a cheat table with it but like how did they do it cause the gravity normally doesn't change, if you know can you tell me ?

[@wasiimo]

Well activating flight is probably a bool data type true/false 1/0 a bool typically takes one byte if not more in memory so you should scan for a byte first than I would suggest 4 bytes which should work.

[@johncallaway7501]

i've been watching your ce series, and this is as far as i've gotten. i've noticed that upon startup, almost every game will use a different memory address to control the same value, whether its health, strength, whatever. is there a way to find a value, and then designate its address for use for that value exclusively, even after the game shuts down and starts back up again? I know pointers can hunt down the address for different values reguardless of turning the game off and on, but they're confusing. Is it possible? and if so, would it serve as a simple alternative to pointers?

11:27 does that mean the same memory address [0299EA5A] contains both the current health and the max health, how a single address contain multiple data ? And whats the numbers above ( 5A, 5B, 5C , 5D .... etc etc ) ?? is there a good video explaining all these memory and stuff ?

[@Derpy-qg9hn]

There are multiple bytes in the same address. Because the game is apparently reading them in sets of 1 or 2 bytes, this means that the same address can have multiple separate sets of bytes. Say you have the common eight bytes in an address, represented in decimal as 000 255 000 255 000 000 000 000. A game might read them all at once, or it might read them two at a time, as Final Fantasy here does; the first two bytes are your current health, the next two are your max health, etc.
