Cheat Engine

[Xeroti]

This is a very useful program, you have to learn it first but when you get the hang of it, you'll be able to get infinite HP, ammo etc. for most games. These obviously dont work for multiplayer/online games so just use it on single player games.

First, download Cheat Engine from:

Cheat Engine

After you've installed it, it will run a tutorial. You should finish it because you can learn alot from it. After that, you can use this tutorial to apply it to a game:

Ok.. first all you need is:

Cheat Engine
and
Pinball 3D which comes with Windows XP

Ready?

First:

Open pinball 3d in your games directory.

Open cheat engine, dont start playing pinball yet.

Now we are going to try to find the address, that changes the scores of pinball 3D.

So... right now your score should be zero.

Go to cheat engine and clcik "Open Process" which is top-left computer icon.

Open the process named "pinball.exe"

Now since the score is still 0 we are going to find the adress by searching for an address with 0. So go to CE (Cheat Engine), and on value type 0, and leave the scan type to: Exact Value, and value type to:4 Bytes

Now click: First Scan, now... I got 1,995,549 addresses, you should get something similar. Don't worry we'll fix that.

Now go to Pinball 3D and start playing... once you hit something and you get points, immeadiatly click F3 or Pause the game.

Ok for me first thing I got was 30,000 points, so pause, write down what you got.

Now go to CE, and in value type your current score, for me 30,000
and click "Next Scan"

If you got more than 2 addresses, go back, get some more score, come back and re-next scan with your current score

*REMEMBER YOU NEED TO PAUSE YOUR GAME IN ORDER TO WORK*

Once you get 2 addresses on the left

double click on either one, becuase they are botk linked to each other, so if you change something to one the other one will change too.

Well now that you have it on the bottom sqaure, click once on it, and press enter, now type in your new value (or your new score Very Happy) Max Score: is 999,999,999

After you put your score, go back to Pinball 3D, un-pause and, you'll notice that your score didn't change, well just make it hit something that gives you points, and VOILA!!!

*I suggest you dont put 999,999,999 for 2 reasons:

1 to get Game Over so you can sumbit your score you need to lose, to lose you have to play... and alwyas.. always you will get some points and it will reset to some low score. i suggest you put something like 999,900,000 believe me you can get 100,000 easily in pinball 3D

2nd: if you wanna impress someone but they dont you know your hacking the program, put something like 5million something like for example:
5,458,225 thats more believable than 999,999,999 they'll know you hacked it.

After that, you should see if you can apply cheats on other games. This is useful when you're stuck on a game that has no trainers/cheats.

This even works for flash games like bloons tower defense

I've never gotten this to work on flash games. Do I have to download the flash file or can I play it on my browser and attach CE to my browser? I've tried this several times but it never seems to work.

Hmm, ok, I'm going to try it again later.
