Hi!!
Maybe someone may give me an example to utilize the "graphical memory view" option of memory viewer?
If possible with a simple freeware game?
Thanks

graphical memory view is to see if you can find pictures in memory for whatever reason.

Also, if you use a specialized hash custom type (4096 bytes) you can use that to visualize changes based on the scans. (saved scans and current memory)
that could be used by example to find fog of war in a rts, or to find the mines in minesweeper

I really would like f.e. to find the mines in minesweeper, may you be so kind to give me a more deep (based game) directive?

is It possible to view the memory in 16bitcolors?

yes, set the "Type" field to "Short" or "Unsigned short" or one of the 16-bit types (5-6-5)
(keep color on rgb)

the image is not pixel perfect, is that to be expected ?

that looks like it's still not the correct display color or type.

Try RGB instead of RGBA (perhaps the alpha bit is causing some missed pixels)

I tried all sorts of different settings and not a single one looked correct. Sad

I also found a spelling mistake in "recalculate Address" window, there is a S missing.
