While trying to find pointers using pointer scan, it takes a lot of rescans to find out the pointer, sometimes an hour Shocked . So, I was asking, is there any other way to find pointers WIHOUT pointer scanner and the manual way Question

In the newest version of cheat engine (6.4) there is a distributed pointer scan which could reduce scan times.

The manual way requires a bit of knowledge of assembly, and starts with doing a "find out what accesses this value" on the value you are interested in.

After doing that you may find something such as:

Code:
mov eax, [esi+104]


From here you find where the ESI register was set, and where that value was set, and so on. Until you find the static address that is used.
