Cheat Engine

[elusiveness]

Hi there,

I'm using Cheat Engine since a while now, and i finally decided to "understand" how to make cheats instead of using these mindlessly. Until now I managed to find my way by myself with help file/yt/google, but now i'm a little confused, and struggling to understand the behavior of Cheat Engine inside the memory viewer. So here is my problem, when i follow an opcode who writes (find out what writes this address) and end up to the memory viewer i see this:

1) Before I scroll up:

And scrolling up into the memory viewer to understand what the code does, CE start to behave in a weird way by rewriting opcodes on the fly with nonsense values.

2) After I scrolled up:

Why does CE behave this way?

Last thing, not really much related, but can somebody explain me how does CE do translate a 3 hex values into such a complex instruction?

Is there some kind of register table or hidden logic behind this? Please, explain

Double click line at address 30D2468

and type:
db 90 90 90 90


Looks like they added garbage there.

and as a result the soft did crash.

Ye, seems like Cheat Engine is shifting the byte order and thus instructions change because it starts reading at the middle of a WORD.

EDIT: if you look at the hex editor (below disassembler) you'll see that the yellow lines shift horizontally when you scroll. But only under a certain condition.. maybe if the process is currently writing close to it?
