Cheat Engine

[jguo5258]

I want to create my own functionality for scanning all virtual memory in the system, but here is the problem:

what if a structure/string is contiguously mapped in virtual memory but far apart in physical memory?

refer to this thread for more info:

(i cant post URLs)


how do i find the other part of this structure in memory if it is split across a physical page boundary?

how is the functionality Query memory region routines/scan all system virtual memory implemented in cheat engine? how can this functionality be implemented in general?

Why are you using physical memory?

If you just need to read a string or structure, virtual memory is fine. The point of virtual memory is so you don't have to deal with the problems associated with physical memory
