Frequently Asked Questions
What is an AoB?
An AoB is an Array Of Bytes and looks like this:
The AoB can be shorter or longer, it just depends on the hack.Code:60 44 66 c0 08 66 ae 0c 2c 85 0d 60 6d 4f af 0c 02
Why are the AoB hacks not working?
There can be a few reasons for an AoB not working. Normally, its due to the game being update. However, sometimes its due to User Error. You need to make sure that you enter the AoB before ever hitting a button in game.
Step By Step Tutorial
Before starting this, make sure you have cheat engine. You can find it at ****************
1) Find the AOB hack. Chances are, if you're here, you'll find it here. For an example, we'll use the following AOB hack from "Mushroom Madness"
2) Load up the game. DO NOT proceed past the initial screen/loader. Most games require that the game be freshly loaded into memory to apply the AOB hack - some even require you to apply the hack during the loader itself, which can get tricky as you try to do things quickly enough. CE's speedhack works well to help with that.Quote:

96 02 00 08 97 4e 51 -> 96 02 00 08 97 4e 02
3) Start a search using "Array of Bytes" type of variable in CE. You want to search for the first value listed (in this case, 96 02 00 08 97 4e 51). AOBs are usually of sufficient length and complexity that you will only get one result, unless the operation occurs multiple times in the code. So you should only have to search once. Select your result (or all of them, if multiples come up) and add them to your CE variable list.
4) Change the value of your result(s) to the indicated value - in this case, 96 02 00 08 97 4e 02. You'll note that the arrays are nearly identical, the only difference being that the 51 at the end changed to 02. Be sure that you get all the changes, sometimes more than one value changes.
5) You're done, go ahead and play the game.
One of the disadvantages of AOB hacks is that often, an update to the game will change the code enough that the AOB hack no longer works. If you're sure you've done everything properly - ESPECIALLY the part about searching for the AOB right after the game loads - then that may be the case. There is no easy way to make an incorrect AOB work, you'll either have to wait for someone to come out with an updated one, or learn how to do it yourself.
