Cheat Engine

[Fatamorgen]

Is there a way to use an address value in a script to create a pointer for emulators?
Emulator pointers doesn't work directly with Cheat Engine since they are just emulated values, but some addresses present values that change by the same amount the address I want.

I want to use the value pointed by an address as a base address for pointers.

Here's the address

0A115626
value = 80120621 (hex)

I want to use 80120621 as a base address. When 80120621 is increased with the offset +112 it always result on the address I want (Health).

Is it possible to do this using the script? To use an address value as another address? Thank you.

You're describing a pointer. Add a new address, check pointer box, base address = 0A115626, offset 1 = 112
CE will dereference the base address (to get 80120621), add offset 1 (112), and use the result as the address of the memory record.
Try the CE tutorial for more information.

it's possible with the emurpm extension, but you must understand that address 0A115626 will be on a different location then e.g 80115626

Is there a way to make a pointer address 24 bits long? The one I get is 8 bytes long. Also How do I use the Emulator Memory (Set Base Address) feature?

In this case I'm using Duckstation libretro on Retroarch.

I need the B3A20 as the base address for the pointer. This increased by the offset 1170 (hex) gives me the address I want. But the problem is that this address will only work within the emulator only (like Gameshark, Action Replay and etc) that's where "Emulator Memory" enters I guess.

So what I want is to create an emulator pointer based cheat using CE.
I've found a tutorial on how to find pointers in an emulator, but that only showed me the way to find the base addresses and unfortunately emulators doesn't offer cheating software (Gameshark...) capable of using pointers >

lua command setPointerSize(4) should work (3 might work as well)


and you may want to type over the address instead instead of taking the name like that, as that name will be wrong with rpmemu
Static addresses do not exist in that way for emulators (every address you find is theoreticall6 static and dynamic at the same time)

select some where in the address list and paste this in (Ctrl+V).

I had the same problem with both Duckstation and Retroarch, and I solved it with LUA and doing substring and concat and then register symbol to use like reference
