I used "Find out what writes to this address" and I have a lot of results. I guess maybe about one hundred.

It's for a software. When I click the button in the software, the memory get written many times with "garbage" the last write is the value I'm looking for.

Is there an easy way to find which opcode changes the value to the one I'm looking for? Checking them one by one would take a while.

I checked quickly at the breakpoints but I'm not sure it's doable. I'm under the impression that I can add a conditional breakpoint on an instruction but not on a data breakpoint.

I think this will work:

Pause the process from the advanced options menu
Find out what writes to that address
Open up the memory viewer
Go to view -> breakpointlist
Right click on the breakpoint that's finding code on write
Select set/change condition
Set your condition there (for advanced, return any nonzero value to record the instruction IIRC)
Resume the process

If you'd like more help with the Lua code for the advanced condition, please provide more information (i.e. what the value you're looking for is).

It worked.

I was looking for the string "M12032s_10(1).bpp" but I wasn't able to find it using readString(). I tried with a short and long Maxlength and with and without isWideString.

When the code was done running I saw in Memory View that only the "M12032s_10(1)" part of the string was highlighted in green. I tried searching for only this and it worked. I'm not sure why.

Thanks for the help ParkourPenguin.
