I want to update DAI cheat table (not my table) because a lot of the cheats no longer work due to patch updates. I have no idea what I'm doing but I want to give it a shot.

Thanks.

Guess there isn't a way.

The tables forum is only where people post tables. The DAI table is outdated, which is why I want to learn how to update it....

Making cheats is sometimes easier than updating them. If you don't know any asm, either start learning or give up.

If you do know some asm, then you should already have a general idea of how to update it. Take the AoB signature and start replacing all the operand bytes with wildcards. If it still hasn't been found, start replacing opcode bytes with wildcards too. When you do eventually find something, there's no guarantee it's what the person who made the script used. The person who originally made the script will have an easier time updating it since they should know where their injection point was and about how often it was run.

Sometimes it's faster to simply find it again completely from scratch. In your case, this would be synonymous to making your own scripts.

Thank you. I don't know what an ASM is. >_< How do I start learning ASM?

asm = assembly, a programming language that more or less acts as a mnemonic for the machine code processors execute. There are a few assembly languages out there, but it's safe to assume anyone using CE is talking about x86 (or x86_64) unless otherwise stated.

This CEF topic is very beginner-friendly, but it oversimplifies a lot of things and skips over many fundamental concepts.
This YouTube playlist is better, but it's slow at times and uses more advanced diction.
Use google for other tutorials.
