Hello,

I'm trying to get a static pointer of the x coordinate of my character in Super Smash Bros Ultimate 12.0 running on the Yuzu Early Access 2107 emulator.

I enabled MEM_MAPPED and got the good read/write address (on VEH debugger).

However I've been struggling to find a static pointer to that address for a while now no matter the method I use from the various youtube tutorials including simple pointermap -> pointerscan with no results even at 10000/10 max offset/level, double pointermap -> comparing pointerscan with the same issue and finally searching the possible hex value (looking at what accesses the original address) and making a pointer out of one of the results.

At some point that last method got me 1 pointer to the address (by searching 2A980200000(r13) + 112F29E2F0(rax) = 2BAAF49E2F0 with offset 00) but nothing was accessing/writing on it (even if I moved in-game) so I couldnt continue my search from it.

Am I doing something wrong in my search, am I missing an important setting or is my game simply not accessible ? Any form of help would be kindly appreciated.

you can't really use pointers on emulators (unless you use structures of 4 billion size with level 8+ (in short, not doable)

the best thing you can do is aobscan if the emulator jits code
and hook that

Wow thanks for the quick answer.

From what I just read online it seems Yuzu indeed uses jit compilation so I'll have to learn about aobscanning and hooking.

Have a good evening !
