Have you ever used Cheat Engine to get through a tough spot in a game?

yes

>>384913363

I used CE once to respec my Underrail character because I didn't feel like starting over for the tenth time. That's the only time I've used it though.

I use CE all the time for one distinct thing : slow motion.

Any fucking game gets instantly 294832403850 times better with toggleable slowmo.

Enjoy the trojans and spyware, I guess.

Nope, but I have used it to get that stupid achievement in Final Fantasy IX where you had to get 1000 jumps in a row in that skip rope game.

>>384913832
Provide proofs to your biased claims.

>>384913363

Used it to experiment with builds in ds1, to archive first person n games that otherwise dont have it, used it for the difficulty mod for kingdoms of amalur very handy

>>384913363
Yes, to prevent me from having to do repetitive shit like "collect 30x rare items that only enemies drop" which would take hours.

It's fun to use it in Dark Souls. I like to put the binoculars zoom effect on my weapon in PvP.

>>384913363
Last time I used it was yesterday, to get some offsets from Gigantic for an aimbot im working on.

>>384913792
fuckikng what? examples of having toggleable slowmo?

>>384913890

I downloaded it and got tons of viruses and spyware like Mixi DJ and BigSeek

>>384913363
Yeah, when the game is shit and I just want to go through it quickly, like the flavour of the month games, rehashes, and dudebro casual garbage.

Mostly because of frustratingly difficult shit revolving around scripted events, QTEs, or broken balance.

I used it to hack in maplestory when I was like 13

>>384913878

if the achievement is so stupid then why did you feel the need to get it through whatever means

>>384913363
No
but I abused save states when playing gba games

>>384913363
I mostly use it to get past annoyances, like the timers on equipment development in MGSV, I also use it to dick about in games I'm otherwise finished with.

No, but I use it in Dark Souls to get the Covenant of Artorias early and cheat in both items that are annoying to get and armor that you can't get normally in the game.

I'm using it to play through Fortune Summoners with infinite health because it's too hard to dodge attacks

>>384914172

>>384913363
Yes, to avoid spiders in one game. I fucking hate spiders and they jumped up of the screen. Shit was scary.
Also i was like 11.

>>384914783

>>384913363

>>384913363
I use CE regularly, once I've completed a game I like to go through again and fuck with things and see what weird shit I can get to happen.
Like games where you have an 'unobtainable'item that costs way more than you'd possibly be able to grind for at that point, I wanna see how the game handles you having infinite money and buying one.
Usually nothing but sometimes you'll get special message or softlock a game.

Only time I used it on first playthrough was Hollow Knight. Fuck the whole lose everything until to backtrack all the way back to get it.
I hate that mechanic is games. Once I died to my shade, I just changed my Geos to what it was before I died.

No shits given, it's single player.

>>384914847

I know I'm a stupid asshole for this but people who are scared of shit like spiders in a video game piss me off. Snakes kind of creep me out sometimes but not inn a fucking video game. Like how can you be actually scared of something that isn't real? My friend is scared of water in video games even when he knows nothing is in it and it pisses me off so fucking much because it makes no sense. Phobias are so fucking retarded god damn it. I dunno why this makes me so irrationally angry though, I guess I'm a hypocrite because it's just like being irrationally scared of stupid shit like spiders.

>>384916348
Using it for things like that is fair. When things have such a low chance of happening, and it all comes down to luck, not skill, there is no shame in cheating, because at the end of the day, all low spawnrates/drop chances does is take up time.

>>384914898
He cheated to be able to do that so this isn't cheating, imo.

Haven't cheated since the Game Genie.
At most I've used the console to fix some bugs in the game, like spawning a lost item or something.

Only times I've ever fucked with it are to make Dark Souls builds quick because fuck playing through the entire game just to get a PVP character up and running every single time.

>>384914783
Dark Souls has absolutely no official cheat protection. Literally none. People use Watchdog to catch obvious shit, but that's not perfect and people can get around it.

No. I honestly never even looked into that thing. Is it like a modern equivalent of game genie or what?

>>384913363
I used it to max all abilities in Fable.
I replayed the game normally lately, and I still ended up with the same result without cheating, lol.

>>384913363
Dozens of times.

>>384913363
Does opening console count? I've noclipped myself past a few obstacles I couldn't be bothered to waste time on

>>384913363
Not to "get through a tough spot" but I frequently use it to add money in games with unlockable stuff. For example, in Senran Kagura the first thing I did in the two games I played was add a ton of money and buy all the customization items, because in a game where half the fun is playing dress up there's no way in hell I'll grind for money to buy one item at a time.

>>384913363
More interesting to use cheat engine to fuck around with games vs just straight cheating.

Is there a good tutorial on how to actually use it?

I've used it in EDF4.1

I know how to play and not getting my team killed so no one noticed.

>>384917948
it comes with a tutorial that easily teaches basic stuff, like how to find health/ammo/etc values and change them. the later steps of the tutorial were too hard for me to understand though

>>384917079
Pretty much. Except without the codes and shit. It's memory editing, so it can change the value of anything within the game, such as game time scale or commonly, money. Levels, exp, ammo.

>>384918293
Well shit, I should have looked harder. Thanks.

I used it in Plants vs Zombies just for fun

>>384913363

I use it to get through boring shit rather than difficult stuff.

>>384919338
Does anyone have that image of the white redditor who tries to "roast" his friend's baby in the style of black twitter?
Fucking hilarious.

>>384913363
I mostly use it to avoid grinding and to cheat in web games
I also use it to look at panties in Neptunia but I don't know if it's relevant

>>384913363
I only use cheats in Single player offline only games. If the game has any type of multiplayer even forced like Souls games, then I won't.
And I prefer trainers.

>>384920105
no, but check this 6

I didn't do it to get past any hard parts but it could be argued that I made the game easy
I bought my nephew omega ruby and decided I wanted to try out a pokemon game again so I bought myself a 3ds and the alpha sapphire, also ordered a cheat engine thing for the ds because I decided I wanted to play with a Pikachu, and the three original starters as my team.
I wanted to have fun but you can say I made an already easy game a joke

>>384913363
Some flash games but they started adding checks and i was too dumb to do the more advanced stuff.

>>384913363
I use it in most single player games
I don't like to grind money or shit in a solo game, sometime I use it to play some games faster, it's fun on some games

>>384923591
Not him but prepare for the answer to be so he can argue about why it's shit on /v/.
I constantly see people ranting about the whole "how do you know it's shit unless you play it" vs "lol, you played it for 100 hours it must have been good!", but the people who play into that are missing the larger point. If a game is shit, ignore it and move on. Ranting endlessly about why it's shit isn't going to accomplish anything. In fact, it's just going to shit up the threads made by people who find value in it.

Manipulating memory is the basic premise of cheat engine, you retarded fuck.

>>384913363
I've never cheated in a video game, it doesn't even cross my mind.

>>384913363
I used it for a speedhack in the witcher 3 collecting all the treasures in the ocean @ Skellige. Other than that, no.

>>384926551
>>384926498
Ok you can both calm down now. I'll just continue to play games legit.
Rolling the dice like this with one of your most valuable possessions just so you can ruin games for other people may be worth it in your minds, but not mine.

Is also the basic premises of most viruses

I regularly use cheat engine when I play Wolfenstein The New Order because the ammo placement in this game is beyond all kinds of fucked.

Never used cheat engine, but I did use cheats when I was a little shit. Mostly things like GTA, back when I didn't even understand english. I did all my games later in life legit tho, no bullshit in my accomplishement collection.
I have nothing against people using cheats in single player games, shit is supposed to bring entertainment after all. Shame nowadays you don't get to do that, devs don't do cheats anymore. Everything is instantly datamined, nothing is sacred/secret. Doing it all legit is one thing, using a broken ass minigun instead of throwing shoes at them straight from beginning is another, both can be really, really fun.
I'm just past that point when I want to be invulnerable and throw infinite nukes in all directions, now I want to feel vulnerable, counting my bullets, having to cash in those little favours you can get in games. You know, hard difficulty.

>>384913363
Constantly, but mostly to cut down on monotony not really to get through tough spots since modern games rarely have those.

I was replaying SotN the other day, first time in like a decade and I got to the point when I wanted a rare drop off something, well I could either kill it run out of the room and kill it again over and over again for an hour, or I could load up cheat engine set my luck to 999 and kill it about a dozen times. The other time I use it is to speed hack, basically any JRPG is better when played at 2x or 3x speed, it just cuts down on all the boring intro to fight and victory now collect your exp and loot screens while also making the fights themselves flow at a much more tolerable pace. I'll also use it to just hack my money in games where grinding for money becomes a progression obstacle. Oh if you want to get further, go craft that item 50 times, or if you want to progress gather me 25 of that item. I'm not doing that shit I'll gather 3 scan for 3, drop 1, scan for 2, gather another scan for 3, drop 2, scan for 1 and bam now I've got the address isolated and now I can instantly have 99 of them without spending an hour waiting for the fucking thing to drop.

I've gotten to the age where I feel like I've paid my dues to the grinding gods and cheat engine is a great way to exempt yourself from that shit.

Damn, I bet you're american.

>>384913363
I only use Cheat engine to test out builds in games or skip mandatory grinding or quests that force me to grind for a specific item.
I also use it to level out character XP in JRPGs that dont have XP sharing in back rows.

Basically i use it to bypass anything that i think is a unfun waste of time.

>>384928813
When did I say that?

>>384928825
Epic, dude. Epic.

Used CE in Dark Souls to give me whatever I wanted and fuck around with big heads and shit. Fuck grinding for items for hours if I can just cheat it in, played the game to death anyway.

Oh no, it's retarded.

>>384913792
Any game that requires any degree of twitchy skillful reflexes is pathetically easy with slowmo.

Take any shooter, fighter, shmup, action-platformer, ect and turn it to half or quarter speed and you're instantly better than the best players in the world. All those thousands of hours spent honing their skill really boils down to is having ever so slightly faster responses programmed into their muscle memory, yet even the best players can't compete with someone who reacts twice or four times as fast as a real human.

>>384929217
Yeah, this also applies to save state in emulators, I can only use it if I've beaten the game at least once.

>>384929367
He wasn't saying it was bait because data is worthless, he was saying it was bait because that retard thought data was stored on RAM which is what cheat engine modifies.

>>384929440
it's a gross simplification for the sake of a point
data one would fine "valuable" is probably not stored on RAM but on disk.
unless you're using RAMdisk for some stupid reason

I use it as a utility, so shit like unlimited corpses in M&B or speeding up animations. AHK is fantastic too for getting around shitty control options and making QTEs bearable. Fuck games that block AHK.

Arguably all programs modify hard drive data too, which is the point of confusion I think.

>>384929649
Are you talking about files? Those are obviously stored on disk. I thought everyone was talking about initialized and uninitialized data from programs, which again are stored in memory. Actually parts of a file can be in memory too; each time a program calls ReadFile a portion of the file gets read and stored in the program's memory.

That's what I mean, I never consented to having any of that installed along with cheat engine.

Yes, to give myself a bucnh of resources on my second playtrough of MGSV. Currently doing the same thing with mods, increased resource gains and zero development/deployment times. It was ok for the first playtrough, but all those timers on everything get really annoying. I don't want to wait until the end of the game to unlock all of the weapons/gadgets on subsequent playtroughs.

>>384913363
I actually enjoy writing tables up for them, although I mostly only publish ones that have high demand with no one bothering to do anything. For the most part I only use it whenever it's to avoid an annoying feature or to skip grinding on my second playthrough, but it's really good assembly practice otherwise.

>>384931767
You clearly did, since nobody but you has this problem.

>>384931496
If you didn't know, the game has special detection of trainers and anything like it that tries to read memory and it will automatically kill the executable.

Only time I used cheat engine was to apply the unlimited durability upgrade to the guns in Way of The Samurai 4, because they break almost instantly and holy shit I'm not spending an entire real life day breaking and repairing a gun over and over just to get it on one weapon.

Getting unlimited durability on your swords was an investment, but the repair requirement for guns was fucking bonkers.

Not to get through a tough spot but I only ever used it for one game, Metal Gear Solid V. That bullshit fucking resource system is retarded. I used it to make the cost of deployment free for all items. I just didn't want to give up my capped resource count.

Also, I'm trying to use it with CEMU and Zelda so I can slow down the rate of day/night cycle. I hate how fast it is. 5 seconds = 5 minutes so a full 24 hour cycle is done and gone in 24 minutes. Some of the best experiences in that game come from being in the right place at the right time, appreciating the just right lighting of the sun shining through trees as you climb a detailed stone structure. Having those moments fly by sucks ass. I will often make a new save file and just run around ignoring the first tower because the clock stops around 11:00 AM until you activate that tower.

I never tried to use cheat engine on Dirt 3, but gymkhana is pretty much the reason why I avoid replaying the Dirt 3 career mode, shit ruined the whole game.

would be nice if you could do it for the timers in Black Flag, i mean fuck waiting a day for the fleet actions thing to finish.

I'm not the one generalizing one person's actions and having the audacity to speak for everyone else.
No, it couldn't have anything to do with the fact that someone may have hacked the site and uploaded a fake version of the software. Nah, it must be that a software developer has no idea how to properly install software.

Don't emulators have their own built-in cheat system?

Useful for when the game gets too boring or grindy.

Then enjoy leaking your personal data and passwords online.
You kids these days can't even think.

I'm not him and he speaks for me. If that guy calls him a retard and explains why he's retarded I don't have to do it.

I remember renting either a Game Genie or Gameshark as a kid from Blockbuster, though I eventually owned both. Never used Cheat Engine but I will use console commands to fix things or fuck around in a single player game I've already completed.
