Cheat Engine

First, thanks for this great program.

I'd like to suggest the support for scanning binary files instead of the process memory.

This could be useful, for example, to find memory addresses in other platforms (PS3, Xbox 360...)

It should go something like this:

1. Take a full dump (snapshot) of the PS3 memory (you get a file snapshot1.bin 4Gb big)
2. Search the value you want with Cheat Engine (searching the binary file)
3. Take another snapshot (after shooting or losing life, for example)
4. Search the new value on the new snapshot file
5. Repeat steps 3 & 4 till you find the desired address (file offset)

The only program I know that already supports this is Artmoney, but it seems to be limited to files 2Gb big.

So if we could use all the power of Cheat Engine in files it would be great.

If simple searches of static files are all you need, you can get by with "fc /b" and a hex editor.

Actually it's already supported, use file->open file.

file->open file. Select the first file and do a first scan

then repeat:
file->open file. Select the second file and do a next scan.

till you've found it
