How To Cheat at Video Games

[@KaneRobot]

Please do a video on how I can find out if my girl is cheating

[@KaneRobot]

In video games I mean. In video games.

[@JeffGerstmannShow]

she is

[@JeffGerstmannShow]

oh, in games? I don't know

[@bikespj22]

😂😂😂

[@threeo8314]

At the very least, this is a great way to find out who among your viewers is a cop.

[@fenthwik]

i have had the exact same experience of trying to show someone cheat engine, saying "it's so fucking easy you just find the number and change it" and then spending 10 minutes not able to find that fucking number

[@onkkell]

Gerstmann threat level: still

[@therealbluedragon]

As someone who owned/owns cheat devices for every system between a MegaDrive and a GameCube I fully support this message.

[@Andeijogando]

gameshark anyone?

[@VaporeonEnjoyer1]

You better not be cheating to get RetroAchievements Jeff! I swear if I see a new Ghoul School master on the leaderboards I'm calling the CIA!

[@b0bbarkerftehw]

ashley, you are the cops

[@pettypenguin656]

Looking forward to Jeff's first assembly patches and eventual Denuvo bypass videos!

[@fisk0]

a new cracktro every week!

[@Blaszj]

I can't tell you how happy I am to see you leave the SMB example at the beginning. That is indeed the way every basic CE cheat I make goes the first time until I figure out what weird thing the game is doing or I do the exact same thing the same way and it just works which can also be annoying. Also I just love that you made this video and hope you make more like it!

[@rustymerritt]

I can totally relate to how this stream begins. Love Jeff for of course keeping it all in.

[@mattcats]

A double in assembly is an integer with twice as much allocated memory as a regular integer (so it can be BIGGER)

[@TreesPlease42]

A double is double the size, from 32bit to 64bit, but it has a decimal place allowing fractional numbers. The decimal can be shifted using an exponent, kinda like scientific numbers eg 3.7 * 10^3 = 3700. How this is handled varies by machine which can lead to unexpected issues. It also makes determinism more difficult in physics engines.

How to cheat in video games: 1. Start erotic roleplaying in Final Fantasy XIV 2. Get married and have their friends celebrate the wedding with you 3. Start erotic roleplaying with someone else

[@grocerybaggy]

I learned the color palette of Mario's sprite is independent from the sprite, which I assume is why small Mario also had the fire flower outfit. Makes sense when you think about Luigi as just being a palette swap.

[@coltonroyle2341]

You seem to be on a tear and I am loving it and here for it

[@Chriscras2]

These are my favorite Jeff videos 🤩

[@VooDooPC34]

I used this method to give myself 99 ferrystones in Dragon's Dogma 2's NG+. I walked for 60 hours the first time through. I wanna zoom zoom!

[@00ABBITT00]

What do you use? I’m looking at getting into this sort of thing but I don’t know where to start for modern games.

[@andrew7230]

I'm calling the cops

[@langa77777]

Snitch!

[@JeffGerstmannShow]

THEY'LL NEVER TAKE ME ALIVE

[@arbayer2]

Stated before: this captures both the usage of memory addresses in a game's state and the fun ways in which it is impermanent and a challenge to sift through depending on the game. I'm all for reimplementation of cheat codes in singleplayer to reduce the need for using memory editing, but for situations (most modern ones) where they're not available this is a great skill to have and opens a window into how games function

[@renereiche]

I've played plenty (PLENTY!) games, where figuring out how to cheat in them was more fun than playing the game with or without the cheat.

[@mr.justice3220]

I used to love entering random values into Game Genie as a kid and seeing what happened. I had no books, internet, or any idea what a Game Genie was outside of a few codes

[@mattrg320]

Hey Jeff, thanks for the tips and tricks.

[@chillhopdrumz1862]

Jeff Gerstmann is still a threat.

[@tomlyne7388]

This is a superb video, Jeff.

[@leorolando1924]

Jeff taught Billy Mitchell all he knows.

[@VaporeonEnjoyer1]

Your lawsuit in the mail. Karl Jobst just released a new video on Billy, so he needs the money to sue him more.

[@Blaszj]

Video games ARE cool! I also use Cheat Engine to release myself from idle games when I'm done with them. The Crazy Taxi one on phones is pretty good and fyi, the premium currency wasn't protected in any way when I played it.

[@DenkyManner]

I had two Action Replays for SNES, the original that allowed 4 codes at a time and the upgrade that allowed... I forget, but it was more. SFII was where it got most fun use for me, moves in the air, new palettes etc. I actually don't remember using it much for anything else though I got good at finding my own codes.

[@paul_bellini]

8:17 This is part of the fun

[@chinohormann]

32:55 - "WHAT is going on with my computer?! Oh...}

[@ChrisLT]

I remember thinking the Game Genie was literal magic as a kid. Then the Game Shark made it sound a little more down to earth.

[@funforalgernon]

Thanks for teaching me how to cheat, Jeff!

[@sdsdfdsfs9639]

usually i just ask my big brother to type in the cheat codes for me then i can play doom without dying

[@ShinyVHS]

The Gerstmann AI is learning a little too fast.

[@billhell7143]

I use cheat engine for the most recent ghost recon games especially breakpoint since that's the only way to make meaningful changes for that game like first person and the spartan mod. It's a pretty useful tool

[@Lupinvej]

I’ll take a lecture from Professor Gerstmann everyday

[@ZantetsukenGilgamesh]

Should have gone with an Action Replay Pro, idk what bargain bin you fished BizHawk out of?

[@slicknicdwyer]

Two modern games with built in cheats come to mind: Control, and Tunic. Both games have the same problem for me in that the combat is _okay_ , but when the damage-sponge enemies start showing up, it just becomes a chore. I would have put both of these games down had they not had built in invincibility options. Is that technically considered cheating if the game itself gives you the option? 🤔 But yeah, I wish more games did this. It's great to be able to turn off the parts of a game that I'm not enjoying so I can keep enjoying the parts that I do... enjoy. (P.S. I wish the Monster Hunter series had built in cheats to disable their terrible non-story and obnoxious paper thin characters and actually just kinda everything that isn't the actual hunting of monsters, god why do I like the monster hunting part so much when every other aspect of those games is a sucky time waste 😭😭)

[@Chriscras2]

Moon jumping the greatest cheat of all time 😍

[@pepaw257]

Thank you Curtis Hoard

[@JeffGerstmannShow]

keep on pressin' that pump button

[@LordHershebel]

the gamer police are going to get you for this one

[@Jagerbomber]

I wonder what the first thought was when/for making Mario different sizes when designing it.

[@fisk0]

gotta imagine there's some Alice in Wonderland inspiration

[@Jagerbomber]

@@fisk0 I'm thinking they didn't know what size he was going to be, had 2 sizes and said "hey let's use them".

[@BigBangBlitz]

Excellent stream.

[@robertocruz5238]

If you ain't cheat'in, you ain't try'in!

[@Andeijogando]

I love how the algorithm will probably serve this to kids trying to cheat on online games

[@slicknicdwyer]

Somebody gotta learn 'em the Ethics Of Cheating

[@misterburns103]

So many games are online even if they are single player. I wonder what detections are in place for irregular behavior. Wouldnt crash reports capture this stuff?

[@rancorprimegames]

This is cool! Love it

[@MattSmithIllustration]

cheating is THE BEST! for me it's almost always in a resource game where you do all the story you care to and just want to see the end of game tech or build a big dumb base or whatever without spending 900 hours gathering stuff up. if I end up cheating in a game it's to just squeeze the last bit of juice from a fun thing

[@Aeonfell]

reported!

[@Peter-jn9rb]

Is he allowed to post this?

[@VaporeonEnjoyer1]

He owns the games, nothing is illegal about emulation or modding unless you are downloading a game you don't own.

[@christinacarter2550]

Magically ‼this ❤❤❤❤❤

[@seabird8147]

How many people do you think turn up to this looking for Grindr tips

[@nehbleh]

Balrog made the game

[@FourCogs]

The most

[@lolzforlunch]

thanks for this video sir, now if you would please step into this alley for our *weekly scheduled trading of drugs for money*

[@Hardworlder]

I already don't get idle games. Using cheat engine on an idle game seems like the symptom of some sort of mental issue.

[@SixDeadMice]

Will this tutorial help me beat people at Call of Duty? Cause I don't got the skills to keep up with the adderal chuggin' 14 year olds these days... unless you challenge me to a 1v1 AWP match on de_Dust2 in CS.

[@michaelpolston5240]

This video was ok, but it was no Dynowarz: Destruction of Spondee-loose. Sponda-louse?
