Thank you

the memory dumps are just x or xx MB

@dsrules ,but mine is 16 years old in dualboot with XP&Win7 with only 2GB of Ram and as i said in the previous post,i don't have time to get to the PC,i do almost everything from my Galaxy Note 9 with DEX.

Having something that still works after 16 years is nice.

If you knew,i have a drawer full of mobile phones and smartphones still working from the early 2000s.

@TomSwitch is there any chance of making it so that we can have a minimum depth on pointer scanning? So say if i know a working pointer would be 8 depth or more i could set it to only search between 8 and 12 and ignore 1 to 7? Would save a lot of time. Thanks

No it won't save a lot of time as all that is possible is not record the results.

Damn, that me not doing the scan again then. Took 8 hours to do full scan for cooldown of weapon on plants vs zombies at depth 6, theres no way im going through all that again when i know its more than 6. Think im going to leave the code making to others now as without a pc to do things all i seem to be doing is wasting my time

Depth of 8 and 12 is normally very time consuming on a PC too but of of course relatively it is a lot faster than on a switch. Something not practical for most games. I normally don't have this kind of patience.

The other thing is on the switch there is no "narrow down"(using another dump) at the moment. Deep search produce too much result to be practical without "narrow down". You can use edizon se to narrow down the list but this is another much slower process than on PC. I sometimes use edizon se to narrow down low single digit thousands of candidates, anything more is too much for me. Most of the time I will just do a few hundreds.

One other thing is very deep pointers are often not reliable. Pointer search will yield coincidental pointers and sometimes they are good and reliable too. These are pointers that are not direct result of the programmer's actions. An analogy is you meet someone on your way to work every day without having arranged the meeting.

Yeh, i think im giving up on it now. Ive tried a few games and i left one overnight got 32 million results, took an hour to refresh bookmarks and went down to 5 million, changing game state etc then refreshing again another 30 minutes showed 11k results still working. Thought finally got it working, tried a reboot of console, 0 out of that 32 million i started with were working. So depressing

sometimes rèfresh bookmark deletes all results good and bad, it already happened to me a few times
I wouldn't attempt anything higher than the default settings unless you already know the pointer from a previous version of the game that needs a bigger range

Yeh i know the bookmark bug thing ive said about it before thats why ive been using my turbo pad and sticking zr on turbo and looking for the value, also time consuming. I just give up tbh.

Thanks for the update!

The last few days, I've noticed that Edizon SE (v 3.8.25) takes about two minutes to load, while Breeze loads instantly. Now I've tried the newest version, and the problem is the same. Has anyone else encountered this problem? Any idea what could be wrong with my Switch?

|EDIT| Rebooting to payload and reloading Atmosphere seemed to fix it.

Try older version to see if it is the same. Some game run with higher priority while in Home Screen. Atmosphere has been made to boost hbmenu priority so in this case launching using profile would be slow and in some case very slow compared with using the hbmenu method. Add a freeze game code and freeze the game will solve this problem

String search? Can i get a brief explanation as to what that is?

String search? Can i get a brief explanation as to what that is?

A string is a series of bytes that does not include 0. 0 is the terminator of a string. For example “Jason” is a string. You can search for up to 32bytes as long as there is no 0 inside. If that is your hero’s name, finding it may lead you to something interesting.

I looked on google while waiting for your response and seen this but also that you can use * to search eg ja* would search jason, but also any other word starting ja. Is that the case here or does it need to be the full string?

On a side note ive bit the bullet and spent a few hundred pound on a laptop which amazon should be delivering by tomorrow so hopefully going to be trying asm and doing pointer searches using that now, ive read all the posts on asm and hopefully it will make more sense when i start doing it myself and i can contribute more, just need to find ida pro....

It’s simple string search only. Searching for ja will give you ja*. It’s not looking for null termination

@TomSwitch , pointer searcher se seems to have a bug
for example, I wrote down 2 address (hp, money) on the same memory dump
1st default bookmark hp pointer has no problem, but if I want to change the target address to the money address then it will give an error, and when the next time I open the memory dump, target address 2 and 3 will be filled with 0x0 making unable to find any pointers no matter what settings I used, the older version of pointer se doesn't has this problem

old version
