Is it possible to run a game on vmware and then use cheat-engine on the main computer to search the values in the virtual machine?

I've tried it with little success >.<, I ran a game on VM, but when I went to search for the values, I could only find some =/. If there was a way to fix this, it'd be a beautiful bypass for most games =].

Although, if it isn't possible, is there a way to "save" the searched values?
Because the current bypass right now is to suspend the game, while searching.

You will have to download cheatengine on the virtual machine.

This won't always work since VM has its own memory manager and pages stuff out to the .nvram file on disk. Your idea has some merit though, it's a great idea to bypass protection. You should try suspending the VM, then scanning the .nvram file for the address, though you'd probably need to write some code to do that. It'd be slow too, since you'd need to suspend/resume every time you wanted to do the next scan.

I might actually give this a go later, since it could provide some great results.

in 64-bit it's easy. Just enable memory mapped memory regions in settings(important) and target memory region 80000000 to 80000000+totalmemory

in 32-bit it's split up into multiple processes if you have more than 1 GB set for the virtual machine
