The game is quite unpopular and this has never been done before, I'm trying to get access to the debug menu. In the game I'm currently at the Main Menu and I searched for text values.



The debug menu isn't visible in the game but the others like redefine keys and resume game are visible



Is there any way that I can use this information to access the debug menu using Cheat Engine?

Figure out how it switches on? then make something else like switching on a menu, switch on the debug menu instead. :O

Best open the game in some sort of debugger. (ie. Ollydbg)

Then look into the ref strings for stuff like the debugger and see how it's called.

Or in game, open a menu and search 1 and 0. Then look around the area for enabling the debug menu etc.

There's many different methods. Just have to think of how the programmer would have programmed it. Since you are, in a way, reverse engineering it.

You need a basis for a search pattern to do this with a memory scanner. You need to be able to turn it on and off to start with by some other means so you can scan based on that. Blindly following text values won't get your anywhere.
