I have a friend who has been trying to help me use CE with my game. I finished the Tutorial both the one on CE.org and the one that comes with CE 5.4 with the 9 steps. He suggested I use All scan instead of 4 Bytes but that did not work either. I want to only increase Lives. You start with 5 so I scanned and had 1600 addresses. I lost a life and hit Next only it came up empty. My friend suggested that it is possible that the game has hidden the values really well so I might not be able to use CE for my game. I thought I would come to you and ask if that is true because you would know. Thanks again for any help you can give.

Start by searching for 1byte 5 lose a life then do a next search for 4, lose a life next search 3 etc. If that fails to find the an address, then try this..
Search for unknown value lose a life next search decreased lose a life next search decreased etc.
If that fails try this last, search unknown value lose a life search has changed lose a life search has changed etc.

Thank you for your help. I did try exactly what you suggested but none of those ideas worked for my game either. I chose Byte and entered 5 for lives and lost a life and hit Next but no addresses showed up. I did notice something different when I did the last 2 options of choose unknown value and then click decreased and then I tried unknown value and clicked changed value and a few addresses showed up but the funny thing was the values kept changing on the left side of the screen. It was weird. I then tried to change the values down below but it would not let me because the values down there were also changing very quickly. I guess I will have to defeat this game the old fashioned way, on my own with no cheats. LOL! Confused
