|
|
Can someone create a 1 byte big endian feature? I'm using retroarch to emulate windows 98 in Dosbox pure and the only value type it reads is one byte.
I know 2 byte endian works for dosbox pure emulating dos games but if I was to emulate windows 98 it doesn't.
I do know 1 byte does work because it works for values under 255 and for values over 255 cheat engine will read a different number under 255.
For example, If I search for 105,000 cheat engine will show the number 40 but if I change it to 5,000 I get the number 136. Cheat engine finds the correct address because if I keep changing it from one number to the other it keeps giving a consistent 40 and 136.
If I check the active box to freeze it, the number changes to 4,959 or 104,959. If I try to change it the number in cheat engine changes but not in game. So instead of cheat engine reading 40 and 136 I might get 255 and 95.
I know cheat engine found something because I can keep going back and forth, changing the number and cheat engine will remain consistent. |

Endianness only applies to values that take up more than 1 byte.
Enable the big endian custom types somewhere in Edit -> Settings and use those. _________________
I don't know where I'm going, but I'll figure it out when I get there. |

maybe use 2 or 4 byte little endian and disable fast scan (maybe it's a 3 byte value) _________________

I think you might be on to something, but when I ctrl+alt+a and enter the script I get this error message...
Lua error in the script at line 1:[strink "local syntaxcheck,memrec=...
..."]:3: attempt to call a nil value (global 'get CustomTypeManager') |

here is a 3 byte custom type for linux
| Code: |
alloc(ConvertRoutine,1024)
alloc(ConvertBackRoutine,1024)
alloc(TypeName,256)
alloc(ByteSize,4)
alloc(PREFEREDALIGNMENT,4)
alloc(CallMethod,1)
PREFEREDALIGNMENT:
dd 1
TypeName:
db '3 Byte',0
ByteSize:
dd 3
CallMethod:
db 1
ConvertRoutine:
[64-bit]
xor rax,rax
mov ax,[rdi+1]
shl eax,8
mov al,[rdi]
ret
[/64-bit]
ConvertBackRoutine:
[64-bit]
and edi,ffffff
mov [rdx],di
shr edi,10
mov [rdx+2],dil
ret
[/64-bit]
|
and windows 64 bit:
| Code: |
alloc(ConvertRoutine,1024)
alloc(ConvertBackRoutine,1024)
alloc(TypeName,256)
alloc(ByteSize,4)
alloc(PREFEREDALIGNMENT,4)
alloc(CallMethod,1)
PREFEREDALIGNMENT:
dd 1
TypeName:
db '3 Byte',0
ByteSize:
dd 3
CallMethod:
db 1
ConvertRoutine:
[64-bit]
xor rax,rax
mov ax,[rcx+1]
shl eax,8
mov al,[rcx]
ret
[/64-bit]
ConvertBackRoutine:
[64-bit]
mov eax,ecx
and eax,ffffff
mov [r8],ax
shr eax,10
mov [r8+2],al
ret
[/64-bit]
