Writing Our Own Cheat Engine (2021)

Yes

Edit: landscape seems to be a work around for me though.

Mobile Chrome on Android too.

In my case, stupid use cases for a folding phone: unfolding the screen helped it render in desktop layout...

Picking the desktop site button in the ... menu also works though!

I get it in Brave as well.

It seems to be because of min-width, so you'll get it in any mobile device or smaller window

Yes, rotated to landscape to workaround it.

iPhone 15 iOS 18 Safari. Same issue.

It works wonders! I build free-cameras and some other tools (all for offline games, of course) fully in Rust, and you'd be surprised how much you could do.

In one of them I hook into C++'s inheritance with no issue, just by understanding how everything works within the compiler you can do a lot.

I first learned how these sorts of programs worked using memory inspection tools that some emulators have built into them, but eventually flirted with some very basic cheat engine stuff myself. More advanced stuff like code caving is hard unless you're an assembly wizard, but it's surprisingly easy to find and poke values once you get the basic technique down. I once made a trainer for a friend because he wanted to skip some of the grind for cosmetics in Nioh. I also had fun realizing that the enemy skill materia in ff7 basically works by treating what would typically be the experience of the materia as a bitfield, with one bit for each learnable skill.

It's funny though, I realized that I generally don't enjoy cheating at games, even single player games, unless the cheats are amusing stuff like big head mode or whatever. I once actually cheated to reduce my character's level in dark souls because I'd accidentally allocated a bunch of points into a famously rather useless stat and, in that game, stat point allocation is permanent. To clarify, I knew it was useless, I had mismatched which row I was looking at when assigning points.

Which is still cheating, I suppose, given that it saved me the convenience of starting the character over completely.

artmoney dot r u was the way for some of us for many years. There was also WPE Pro. I remember, making a private room in Coke Studios, that was an official room, so I could skip the DJ line and earn decibels.

wemod?

That’s fair, but to me the “in Rust” part is the most relevant. I wanted to see how ergonomic it was to do such raw memory tweaking in the memory-safe systems programming language.

One of the ways to get more attention on HN.

We've deinreusted the title now. Thanks!

Scanmem[0] is a library that does this for the purposes of reading/modifying game memory and a useful resource. You can also poke around in /proc for some helpers

ls -la /proc/$PID/map_files cat /proc/$PID/maps cat /proc/$PID/status
