Hi all (and sorry for my bad english)

I want to get an address using AoB Scan from CE, the address is 401C33:



I assume that "83 EA 01 70 29" bytes will return my address, right? This is what happens when I use CE for an Array of Bytes Search:



BUT

I have a nice Mem Engine/Toolkit for VB6, so I tried an AoB Scan using this toolkit, like this:

Code:
MemMisc.ScanForBytes("trainer.exe", "trainer.exe", "83 EA 01 70 29")


MemMisc.ScanForBytes is a VB6 function similar to AoB Scan from CE, in this case, the code found the byte-array and returns the correct address 401C33.

Now I have two questions:

- Why I can't find the address using CE's AoB but with VB6-AoB function I can? (Im using the same Byte-Array!)

- Every address have a valid pointer?

Thanks for reading! Smile

When searching for AOB, make sure the box that says 'Writable' has a solid square in it.

Thanks for your reply.

I tried with a "solid" square on writable option. Got the same result (0 address found)

copy on write must also be solid/greyed

tip: Just rightclick those checkboxes and choose "preset: scan all memory"

tachaaan! That worked!



I found the address (also a green/static address). This is the first time I forced to edit memory scan options.

Thanks all.

Cheat Engine; nice software, better community
