@TheRedEye:
Yes. Do the Cheat Engine tutorials, they explain a lot. But one tip to keep in mind; In 32-bit Windows, many data items in memory are 32-bits (4-bytes), even if the entire range of possible values can fit in a smaller size (such as 0-255 can fit in a single byte). Similarly, 16-bit Windows (and DOS, since it's 16-bit), typically use 16-bit (2-bytes) sizes. (See a pattern here? 32-bit operating systems default to 32-bit data, 16-bit ones default to 16-bit.. Can you guess what is likely to be the default size for a 64-bit one? Wink

) A lot of this is because the operating system and CPU work best and fastest when working on the default bit size.

@DB:
Are there any plans to make CE better detect and list 16-bit programs, rather than just "ntvdm.exe"? I may get burned at the stake for admitting this, but I always use ArtMoney for memory editing with 16-bit programs, because it will show and work with both 16- and 32-bit programs. It would be really awesome if CE could do this, too.. Especially since classic (I.E., DOS) gaming is becoming more popular..
