It's a float/double value, not 4-bytes.

i tried that, both float and double and still doesn't work.

the next scan seems to work when i use string. when i change the value of money, it also changes in the game. but once i try to spend the money buying something, it automatically switches back to the original money amount. it does not fully apply the changed money value. i don't understand why...

@frouk sorry i'm new to all this, i have no idea how to do that or what that exactly means... i watches the float/double tutorial on cheat engine's youtube channel. when i try to scan float the money, i get a lot of matching results. how do i figure out which one is the right one?
same thing happens when i scan double for expense, get a lot of matching results.

when i scan using string i am able to figure out which is money and which is expense, but when i change them, the change reflects temporarily and always reverts back to the original.

i'm sorry if my attempts look stupid i really have no idea what i'm doing. if someone could provide a link to a tutorial or detailed instructions, i would really appreciate it.

You could try to scan for increased and decreased values, if that doesnt work, the game probably uses xor encryption to hide the real values.

i don't see byte injection, only code injection. i think if i attempt that i will break the game beyond repair hahaha!

It won't break it beyond repair. RAM is temporary and never permanent Smile

You're missing a great opportunity to learn something.

Cheat Engine has a good tutorial built into it with real gaming examples.
Youtube has great videos from Stephen Chapman and CheatTheGame.
When you get really serious about game hacking, check out Guided Hacking.

Don't sell yourself short - you'll be figuring things out in no time !

Byte injection is the same as code injection (since opcodes have bytes they're same)

EDIT:
your game might changing money address since game is pausing when you are in other window

@Silver001 i think you are the one missing the point - the part where i keep repeating i'm a total noob and have no idea what i'm doing. so unless someone has a link to a tutorial video on how to use cheat engine for this specific game, i give up. the point of wanting to play a cheated game is to relax and have fun. wasting 2 days trying to figure out how to make cheat engine work is the complete opposite of fun.

@Frouk yes it auto pauses every time i switch windows, so maybe it does change the money address. i assumed that a simple retro game like this would be easy to cheat, clearly i am wrong!
