Im trying to find a pointer for a single player game, i read some of the tut's on forums none of them help me with this specific thing. I can modify my hp and it works but when i restart the game the address is different and i have to find it again.

Could anyone help me, here's the problem...

Look at the instruction you found:
mov [esi],edx

There is no pointer offset. The address you found will point to ESI directly and doesn't require any offset (just leave as 0). The pointer may be multi-levelled though, so it will probably break on a restart of the game or a new level load.

I think you've missed another step too though. You need to run a hex 4-byte scan for 011EABFB to find the pointer base. That address itself isn't the pointer, it's the value of ESI which is what the pointer 'points to'.

try "what accesses" see if you can get more op codes then post pic of debug win.

Or just exercise on the CheatEngine Tut, best way to learn how to use it efficiently!

This is a 2 Byte Value, its taken from an emulator, "snes9x.exe". I tried scanning 4 Byte but no results came up.

These are the results for "what accesses" it.

the disassembler and debugger are useless on emulators

Just find the base address of the emulated memory , then apply a offset and hope the game doesn't use internal memory management.
If it does, perhaps you can find a relative pointer in the relocated memory pointing to the address which is in a relative location from the base

Yep, what DB said. I did a text tut and a video tut on hacking emulated games. Specifically an N64 emu, but the same applies for others too. I've used the pointer to emulated + massive offset in PS2 emu's too.

Ill try to find some tuts online, (Youtube) and check if theres anyway to find pointers for each game using this emulator. Some people probably had the same issue as me and they found a solution.

When i figure this out i might write a detailed tut for other people out there, but first research and practice.

^^ Thanks Guys
