- Note: To confirm a value; change it and/or freeze it, and see if it has an effect in the game. So now that you have an address double click it in the found list, and it should create a memory record in the address list of the cheat table. Double click the value to change it and enter 5000. You should now have 5000 as a score.
- I'm trying to find the correct health offset in a game, and my problem is that I have 14 addresses found which changes when I change my health address. I've tried to change the health value and update 10 times now and push 'Next Scan' but I can't get any lower than these 14 addresses.
So im totally new to cheat engine, i just installed NFS most wanted and decided to test it out by altering the money value there. It worked well, unless i closed and restarted the game. The money amount along with the upgrades i made with that money are totally gone. Idk if i have to like, save the cheat in a special kind of way or something, so please help me out.

Simple Cheats[edit | edit source]
Changing Memory Values[edit | edit source]
This applies for most cheats. When I say 'scan your health value' or something similar, follow these steps.
- Click 'First Scan'.
- Enter the value of the item you want into the search box and press enter. (i.e. 20 fatigue - enter 20. 1000 cash - enter 1000.)
- Click 'Next Scan'.
- Change the value in-game.
- Search again, using the changed value.
- If there is only one result left, continue - otherwise repeat step 4. If no entries remain, try again starting from step 1.
- Add the final entry to the address list.
You should now be able to edit the value freely if you followed the steps correctly. Congratulations!If you want to modify other game values, you will need to repeat this process.
If you want to unlock all levels without play all the prisons, you can in the PC version, press the keys up,up,down,down,left,right,left,right.But if you want to make this cheat,you may press this keys on the prison select menu.
Complex Cheats[edit | edit source]
No heat or fatigue.[edit | edit source]
- Open 'Memory View'.
- Search for 'Fatigue'. Look for the '0F' indicated in the blue box. Change the number in the red box.
- On the bottom-left side of the memory viewer, find the first '0F'. Two spaces under that is the value you will change.
You can perform this for Heat, too. Simply repeat from step 1, except search for 'Heat'.
You can also type the value how much Heat or Fatigue you have.
- Do an action to raise Heat or Fatigue
- Let that number run down and then type the new number
- Once there is less results, like 5, let your Heat or Fatigue run down again. (skip if there's one value)
- The value (ex. if I have 67 Heat or Fatigue then let it down to 66, I would use 66) that ran down to your heat or fatigue number and change it (perfect for no fatigue or 99% heat challenge)
- Tick the empty box to make sure the number doesn't change
Max Stats[edit | edit source]
- Scan your health value.
- Repeat until you have one entry left.
- Right-click the value, and click 'Browse this memory region.' The stat values are below each other.
If done correctly, you should see three values underneath your health value. The first value is strength, the second is speed, and the third is intelligence.
Max Cash[edit | edit source]
- Open 'Memory View'.
- Search for 'Cash'.
Now, just like how you edited your fatigue, look for the first '0F'. Two spaces under that is the value you'll change.
Item Hack[edit | edit source]
- Open the file called 'items_eng.dat' in the /Data folder.
- Start Cheat Engine and change the Value type to String.
- Place a comb shiv in the weapons slot
- Enter the id for a comb which is 109 (found in the items_eng.dat file). Scan this value
- Then remove the comb shiv from your weapons slot
- Scroll through the results from the scan until you see an address with a blank value.
- Add this address to the address list.
- Change the value to any id from the items_eng.dat followed by the _
- Close and reopen your profile
You don't need to use the comb shiv again (you will if your in a new game), repeat 8 and 9
(If you add a value that is over 300, it makes glitch item)
NOTE: Any tools or keys summoned will only work once. To change that, you put ID _### (the hashtags are the number of durability and the space is required)
Avoid Shakedown[edit | edit source]
Has your name been called for shakedown, and you have contraband items in your desk? Don't worry! Follow these steps to avoid getting caught!
- Open Cheat Engine, and click on 'Memory View'.
- Go to 'Search', then click on 'Find Memory'. (Or Press Ctrl + F)
- Search for 'SD1_ID'.
- Find the first '0F'. If the value is 'FF FF FF FF', go to step 7. Otherwise, carry on.
- Repeat step 2, and search for 'SD2_ID'.
- Once again, find the first '0F'. If the value is 'FF FF FF FF', go to step 7.
- Edit the value from 'FF FF FF FF' to '02 00 00 00'.
