 |
|
Happens rarely but when I've tried entering a value over 65,000 or so cheat engine turns it into 400-something or so.
So when I want 9999999 gold. I get 38527 instead.
Any clues on how to fix?
Restarted my computer,ran cheat engine and the games on admin yet it still persists on PPSSPP Gungnir for example.
Thanks LostLight

Sounds like the data type of the location in memory you are editing is not 4 bytes, but instead 2.
A signed short (2 bytes) can hold between -32,768 and 32,767.
An unsigned short (2 bytes) can hold between 0 and 65,535.

Yeah it is value type 2 thanks,idk how I entered millions before last time.
Still good to learn that it can only go to 65,535 will save alot of headaches.
Thanks atom0s.

I think that this don't come from cheat engine.
You're probably setting a 2 Bytes value.
A Byte is a succession of 8 bits.
The binary form of 9999999 is 10011000 10010110 01111111 which take 3 Bytes.
Truncated to 2 Bytes, 10011000 10010110 01111111 is 10010110 01111111.
10010110 01111111 = 38527 in decimal.
EDIT : Too late... 
EDIT 2 :

You still can scan for 4 Bytes. Or simply decrement the address by two and chante type to "4 Bytes". But in this case, the value has to be 4 bytes, else, you'll write in a bad memory space.
