Cheat Engine

EDIT:

I found the solution, it's literally GameMemoryStart, no pointers needed.

Just add a new address : "GameMemoryStart+459276"

When starting a new game I just have to enable the memory start finder, and my addresses will point to the right value!

I'm trying to follow the advice in the post below for using CE with DosBox.

Step1: Activate 'find and set symbols', wait until 'GameMemoryStart' gets populated.

-> this works fine, I get a address and value

Step2: Find your cheat address

-> Also no problem, found a 2 byte value and address that I want to keep at zero

Step 3) Subtract the address of GameMemoryStart from your cheat address, then manually add the cheat value as GameMemoryStart+[offset you calculated in step 2]

-> here's where I'm stuck. See the screenshot. I substract the address 0a8eb020 from 0ad44296, which gives me '459276'. And then I should use this value as offset in a new pointer? I'm not getting any logical value when I do that.

You have to manually add the pointer with the base address being the address of GameMemoryStart, in the offset field set it to 459276.
