Cheat Engine

[JustJeff88]

I am new to the forum and if this is not the right sub-forum for this request, apologies in advance.

I've used Cheat Engine before to do simple cheats with emulators, but I am having no luck here and I could use some help. I recently acquired copies of Desert Strike and Jungle Strike, two great helicopter action games, for PC. They are arguably the best versions of these games (extra levels!) and I had no problem getting them to run in Dosbox. I would really like to make a cheat for each game to give me unlimited fuel, but I am having no success. I can't even tell you what I have done so far because I cannot even find the proper memory address. Perhaps this is hubris on my part, but I thought that this would be just as simple as emulated console games.

Any advice? My assumption is that the dosbox front end is making it hard to isolate the bytes that I need and, if I can find them, I'll be grand. Note that running this in Dosbox opens three processes, but I've tried them all in CE with no luck. I've also tried doing things like infinite ammo to see if I can get a handle on things but, again, I can't even find the proper byets. If it helps, fuel in this game starts at 100 and ticks down by 2 every few seconds and, yes, I have tried looking for various integer types.
