Ok I have a problem with adding address and offset on a base address..
This is what I get in CE... And as I have red, base address of the games is frequently 0x400000, and I got that programatically in code... "game.dat" has the base address of 0x400000.
Code:

so here is another picture where you can see that it is correct base address as the CE calculates the exact same address after adding the offset..
Code:
http://s8.postimage.org/ml8u4avo5/ce_Ex2.jpg


So, when I try to add those hex numbers I get both in calculator and programatically: 0x400000+0x063A8D4 = A3A8D4 + F8 = A3A9CC which is nowhere near the 009E6968 value which is the correct value I need..

My question is what is the correct algorithm for adding those hex values and getting the same value what CE gets..

Thanks in advance!

you read the 4 byte value at A3A8D4 and add the value F8 to that result

Thank you DB! That worked like a charm... A bit confusing as memory library which i'm using returns byte[] in reversed order but that's not the problem.. Thanks again Very Happy
