App doesn't open after editing with hxd

Post by sk8rain »

When i edited Cheat Engine with hxd the app doesn't open and windows says that it can't run on my pc. I only replaced the "Cheat Engine" values.

You can take a screenshot with the PtrnScr key and then paste it into Paint, or use any other screengrabbing tool. Taking a picture of the screen with a camera doesn't create good results.

Regarding your problem. You have to overwrite the existing characters, and make sure you don't add more than there was space initially. So whatever characters you use to replace "Cheat Engine" it should match this string length exactly, if it doesn't fill it up with spaces.

But the file may also have a checksum so that this simple method won't work.
