#I am able to find the basePointer:

Example:
DOSBox.exe + 34D6D0 --> 0x0A606020
offset = 0x1ee100

#result is accurate 0x0A7F4188 and the pointer is working\
after restarting the game.

But looking through PE header or enumerate DLL's
It turns out the address I found is 0x00400000.
If start from this address and calculate the offset provided by the
above examples should never reach the actual target.

After calculated reversely I got the address:
0x0A2B8950 #Which this should equivalent to "DOSBox.exe"

How do these two addresses been treated actually?
Where can we find the actual address retrieved by the cheat engine?

The pointer's base is stored in the .exe allocated at 0x400000.
The value the pointer is pointing to is stored in the region allocated at 0xA600000.

Search for information on what pointers are and how they work.

So where could we locate the base pointer address that stores the value?

I tries looks around the software but only getting "xxx.exe".
