Cheat Engine

[idan345]

Can cheat engine use mono dissect on a unity game that has been brought to the windows store?
i couldnt activate it. wondering if it cant recognize that the game is unity (under the uwp frame) or do i have to do something special..?

e.g. enter the gungeon win10 version cant use mono features, but enter the gungeon steam edition can.

thanks

In android arm, there was unity game using libmono.so to 'run' the game, which has an assembly make up of cil (common intermediate language) BYTE-CODE, usually main game logic in Assembly-CSharp.dll, which then jit-compiled to native code.

This situation is similar to steam version gungeon, while pc version use mono.dll that ce can recognize, and for example, ce can force jit the byte-code into native code if not already.

But recent android unity game may not using cil byte-code (will not find Assembly-CSharp.dll) any more, it will directly compiled to libil2cpp.so instead. As its name implied, it is native code already, no jit need.

What I want to said is, the same unity-game code base can be compiled into different platform with different architecture.

The UWP/window store version may be similar situation as il2cpp (but I don't know, just guessing), so that ce mono feature won't work.


tldr: ce mono feature require certain version of mono.dll, UWP version unity game may not use mono.dll, so no ce mono feature.
