Cheat Engine

1. How cheat engine is allowed to read/modify a memory region thats not allocated to it? I read on wikipedia that the OS would switch to "supervisor mode" and shut down the program attempting that...?

2. So stuff are stored on RAM in binary, what CE disassembler does is reading the binary and converting it to assembly?

3.Whats the difference between an address with a value and an address with assembly instructions? I mean does the memory have separate allocations for program's instructions and program's values? <<< I really want the answer to that.

4. If a new AMD processor had a different instruction set than that of Intel. a compiled program on an Intel chip wont work on the "new" AMD processor, right?

I am just trying to grasp the mere basics before reading the assembly tutorials around.

1. writeprocessmemory/readprocessmemory
2. yes
3. yes usually values for data go in a separate section to code ones. to find out more about these sections look up the PE format

1: Using the windows api ReadProcessMemory and WriteProcessMemory, and by becomming part of the opperating system itself (driver) to access the memory as well

2: yes, it reads it and then represents it in a readable format

3: There is no difference between an address with a value or an address with code, both are just binary values. A program can even let the cpu execute the data.
Of course, most programs tend to seperate the data and code by placing all code in the same region as all the other code, and placing all the data in a different location

4: most likely it will work unless you make use of that specific amd instruction, then it will only work on amd systems with that instruction.
example: dbvm, it makes use of a specific intel instruction so makes it useless for amd
