alt-tabbing out of a game isn’t desirable, a lot of games get a little buggy after it.

I remember using a tool like this aeons ago to change my health in counter strike 1.0. good times

Don't know why it doesn't work for you, perhaps you have a patched/updated version of the game. Only ever tried it with bullets, though. Additional cheats for your poke problems can be found here. Sadly, no diamonds.

I have tried this and it does not work in far cry 2 no matter what I do I cannot get more diamonds every time I try to change the value it just goes back down to the original number since you used far cry 2 as an example I thought it would work could you or anyone tell me how to actually change the value

I’ve completed numerous games on the hardest setting without cheating, but I still like to fly around in my jet while playing San Andreas.

It all depends on the setting.

I think cheat engine is better but i think that’s already been established by other people (like 50 times) but the only time I think you should ever cheat is when you’ve beaten the game with 100% everything…or else you just suck at the game and should just buy another one :/

A very neat concept. I think every game should have a console too. Makes the game your own. Just a technical note. The ram does not disappear immediately. There is what is know as a ghosting effect. This can last a couple minutes if the ram is cooled. It has some very significant cryptography implications.

The majority of MMOs store the variables on a server, so you can’t directly change them from your computer.

Cheat Engine is capable of doing that, there’s even a couple tutorials over at the CE forums covering tasks like this. Could be as simple as locking a timer or tracing the pointers, then using CE’s debugger to op out the related code. Or if you completed the tutorial that comes with CE then doing what you asked is possible, even if the software uses some more intensive protection.

Agreed, Poke would have to be something different quite a bit to warrant me ever using it.
Cheating gets boring anyhow, though. Trainers are eventually an easier alternative.

Problem lies probably with your computer (it’s the official mirror).

Try uninstalling it through Configuration Screen – Software. If that doesn’t work, manually delete the C:\Program Files\Poke folder. That should remove all Poke files.

I’m not sure if it’s a Poke-problem though, as Poke normally doesn’t run on start-up.

Arf!
it’s so funny to see people saying stuff like: “OMG This is so cool!, etc…”

i was a kid when using the POKE command in BASIC!
rofl, on Amstrad CPC, amiga 500, C64… it was the only way to obtain what you wanted.

This is cool in that it supports x64 applications. I have an older application called gamewiz32 which does exactly the same sort of thing. The only problem I find with these is that you essentially have to run the search every time with certain games as the memory locations change each time the application is run. If you have a lot of cheats you want to implement, this could be a tedious and time consuming process naturally.

I’ll give this a try though. At the very least, it’ll be a good replacement for gamewiz32. If not, I can always tried the suggested alternative “Cheat Engine”. I’ll assume it’s kept up to date and x64 compliant too. I always look for a “trainer” first though since the cheats are already built in for me.

I would just LOVE more than ever to play the Serious Sam games with infinite ammo and without having to reload any of the guns.
