I don't understand exactly what are the data you have and which are missing. On a first glance it seems that Cheat Engine relies on hand-crafted symbols tables provided by the user. So ptrace gives the required low-level abilities. If I understand things correctly: what you need is gdb with hand-crafted symbol tables, right? -- Tzafrir Cohen | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | VIM is http://tzafrir.org.il || a Mutt's [EMAIL PROTECTED] || best ICQ# 16849754 || friend = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Memory manipulator
Hi Tzafrir, One of the abilities of Cheat Engine - beside being a games cheating machine, is to look for values in the memory, then search again for values, and leave only those that matched the previous set, etc As well as start of with an unknown value, and only look for those that increased, decreased, etc On Sat, Aug 30, 2008 at 10:05 AM, Tzafrir Cohen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>wrote: > On Sat, Aug 30, 2008 at 07:55:32AM +0300, Noam Rathaus wrote: > > Hi, > > > > I have been using Cheat Engine (http://www.cheatengine.org/) to > manipulate the > > memory of applications on Windows for quite some time - mainly useful for > > testing software for quirks and bugs. > > > > I was wondering whether someone knew of a equivalent program for Linux? > > > > I am mainly looking for memory value discovery and value changing > abilities. > > I don't understand exactly what are the data you have and which are > missing.

Hi, I'm a bit curious - why do you consider changing from WMV to Flash important for Linux or Firefox users? Last time I checked, most Linux distributions could play neither WMV nor Flash movies out of the box, but software to do both is available for free. Software to play WMV is even available as free software (e.g., mplayer)? Or am I missing something? True, but... 1. Adobe has released a full spec for their flash format allowing a complete Free implementation. They also released the scripting engine as open source. 2. Adobe provides a proprietary flash player for Linux. 3. WMV (really the associated codecs, but the affect is the same ) is covered by numerous patents which are activly protected in the most brutal way, whereas the FLV format, as so much that it is patented (I don't know it is but I assume it is) is not, at the moment. Not a case of black and white by a long shot, but I would say flash is "brighter" then WMV. Gilad -- Gilad Ben-Yossef Chief Coffee Drinker Codefidence Ltd.
