I tried just scanning for the value on some games, but it doesn't work half the time. I found out for Elona Shooter (Or my brother did) that for gold, you need to multiply the value by 8 and add 6 and scan for that. How do you find these type of things?

scan for unknown initial value and then changed/unchanged till you've found it and then try to figure out how it works (sometimes even increased/decreased works as well)

e.g: that multiply by 8 and add by 6 means that the value is stored 3 bits shifted to the left, and the first 3 bits are 110 (+6) instead of the usual 000 (+0)

Finding these sort of thing is pure luck or obsession...

By the way, the "multiply by 8" value is a comon thing in flash game.
I didn't know some game use "plus X" value... good to know but hard to use in a real way (I don't see me looking for value*8, value*8+1, value*8+2 and so on...).
