Game Wizard

By | 19 Jun 2004 | Article
A kind of a Game Wizard utility for Windows.

Introduction

Do you remember the DOS old good times? There was a good utility for cheating in games. It allowed you to search the game's memory for specific values and modify them with other values. Thus you could arrange yourself an infinite score, infinite lives, and etc.

Well, I don't play too many games now, but such an utility is useful nevertheless. Hence I decided to make it. Maybe it already exists, but I don't know about it.

Features and use

It is quite simple, I'm sure you'll puzzle out it fast. Its functionality can be extended to search not only integer values, and to search relative values. But this is up to you :).

In the main dialog, it displays the process list. It can be refreshed by the 'refresh' button. Select the desired process, and either double-click it or click the 'Hack' button.

In the next window, it displays the process' virtual memory map (Address/Pages/Attributes). It's for your convenience only :).

There is a 'paused' button. It's a check button in fact (stays pressed when you press it). Press it each time before you search the process' memory, to ensure that the application doesn't change anything meanwhile.

There is an edit box. Type there the target value (let's say the count of lives you have) and press 'Search...' button. There should popup a message box telling you how many matches were found. Next unpause the application, play with it a little, and than again pause it and search your value. This time the search is done only among the previous results. Continue until there will be a reasonable count of matches (1, 2, 5). Then, type the value you want and press 'Alter' button. If your search is compromised, you can reset it with the 'Reset' button.

That's all. Enjoy!

QuestionAn impassioned plea to the Great `Gelfer' himself PinmemberOptiplex55521:47 25 Sep '05  
I've been looking for a program like this(your new ?spinoff? of GameWizard) ever since I was forced to upgrade to Win98, and discovered I wouldn't be able to use the old GameWizard anymore, for a long time!
 
Therefore, I was overjoyed to see you had created this new version- and want to extend my extreme thanks to you for the great service you have done for the world by creating this program, BUT....
 
I (and it would appear not Just I) could use a little help with an error message I get every time as soon as I try to run it!
 
In a DOS window, it'll say "A device attached to the system is not functioning", and in Win98, a small "Error Starting Program" ! DialogBox will appear, saying, and I quote, "The PSAPI.DLL file is linked to missing export NTDLL.DLL:_stricmp."
 
Please HELP!! Any assistance you could offer would be greatly appreciated- I'd sure like the opportunity to enjoy what I'm hoping will otherwise be a/your wonderful program!
 
Thank you!! Big Grin | :-D
