Use Cheat Engine - a guide
With Cheat Engine you can manipulate various games in your favor. In this guide, we show you how to use the tool.
How does cheat engine work?
- Cheat Enginge analyzes the respective game for changeable values. You can then adjust these values manually.
- For example, Cheat Engine recognizes how many lives are given in a game by default and lets you change this value. For example, you get 100 lives instead of just three lives.
- The software can handle numerous games. The use of cheat engine in browser games is not recommended. Protection mechanisms are usually built in here, so that the cheat does not work or can be exposed.
- Simple browser games in which you do not have to create an account can be hacked safely.
Use Cheat Engine - Instructions
Download the cheat engine from us in the CHIP download area and install the program. Pay attention to a "user-defined installation" so that no additional software is installed. Then start the cheat engine and your desired game. The individual steps are shown to you again in our picture gallery.
- Click on the computer button at the top left of the program and select the process of the game. The button "Window List" limits the search to all running windows.
- If you have found the right process or the browser window, click on the "Open" button.
- Now enter the value you want to change in the "Value" field on the right. In our simple grouse game for the browser, we have 10 shots, but we want to have 20. So we enter the number "10" as "Value".
- With the button "First Scan" the game is searched for the value 10 and finds all keys that use the value 10.
- Since many commands with the value "10" are displayed in the bar on the left, we shoot once in the game and have only 9 shots left. We change the value to "9" and only get a result via the "Next Scan" button. So we can be sure that this is the right value.
- Double-clicking the value with the mouse opens a small window. In our case we change the 10 to a 20 and confirm our entry with "OK".
- If we now switch back to the game, the value has not yet changed. Only after one action, in our case one shot, are there 20 shots available.
- Note: With browser games, the application can be relatively complicated, especially with low values. PC games are comparatively easier to read out.
- We will show you all the steps in detail in our picture gallery.
