Cheat Engine

This should help people who have to use laptops all the time due to changing locations a lot and want to play some good games even if they have an Intel onboard graphics device.

Written using C++/CLI (not that anyone wants to know about it). I wrote this software to gain time while switching between software vertex processing and hardware vertex processing to see in which mode my games run better and I decided to share it with people.

First is first, here are the scan results (of 1.0): Virustotal. MD5: b93cec6c42d72fa03a522870afd033e8

Also a screenshot (of 1.0):

And the download link: Free File Hosting Made Simple - MediaFire

Please keep in mind that this tool is probably useless if your display adapter's vendor is not Intel, although you can gain some information about it even though it's vendor isn't Intel.

P.S: Tested and working on Windows 7, Windows Vista, previous version (1.0) had problems for XP users so I need some feedback for this version.

Nice one, this should be useful for some people.

However, I'd like to add that it's almost useless to post the virus scan results, as you really could have just uploaded a separate file.

CLI is command line interface, but that's a GUI screenshot? Anyhow, I ran it and it gave me an error on startup (I have .NET Framework 3.5+ and I'm using Vista x64-bit).

I thought I'd just let you know, but it looks nice.

Cli = common language infrastructure. Also you'll get an error if you don't run it as an admin ( right click -> bla bla )

I'd imagine that hardware would always be faster. There typically isn't a very large difference unless you are pushing a really complex scene, but I'd think it was more for compatibility than anything in Intel's case.

Then again, it's Intel so who knows, I'm not even so sure if they have a dedicated HW T&L unit or if it's just emulated.

Intel's onboard graphic solutions are a real big letdown, it was surprising for me to see how oblivion ran faster when I switched from hardware to software vertex processing mode(same goes for Overlord II). God I wish I bought my macbook 1 year later as even Apple saw the low performance of Intel and they switched to NVIDIA 9400M from Intel GMA X3100 for their cheapest laptop models. Now all of us Intel GMA X3100 users are like.... fucked up emigrants.

An amazing tool, man. It works wonderfully. I'm from Brazil - found this on some blog with x3100 tweaks.

Registered just to thank you.

And, hey, are you single? Want to marry me?

Jk, thanks again.

Updated.

-Automatic access priviledge request at start.
-Checks if it has enough priviledges.
-Minor bug fixes.
-Now you won't see game exes on general info tab.

I am currently having problem on my laptop when running Neverwinter Nights when I found this thread. Hoping that this app can help me improve my graphics.

>> Hardware Specs:

Lenovo T61
CPU: Intel 7100 / 1.80 GHz
Graphics: Intel GMA X3100
Memory: 1 GB RAM
OS: Windows XP SP3

As you have noted, XP user may encounter problem in running the apps. Pls see details of the .NET framework error (Error: "Object reference not set to an instance of an object") on XP.

>>>> START

See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

Hope that I can interpret the error and help but I'm not that proficient in programming Sad

Thanks anyways for this great post Very Happy

and hope that you can release an XP compatible version of this app.
