This scantype makes a copy of the game in memory, so it can be used later on. If you don't know the value of a variable in-game, then this scantype is usually the first step. It can take a while depending on the memory and cpu-intensity of the game and the spec of your PC.
- Exact
- The "exact" scan will scan the memory for the value (or string) you've entered.
- Bigger than
- The "Bigger than" scantype scans for all the values that are higher than the value you've entered.
- Smaller than
- The "Smaller than" scantype scans for all the values that are smaller than the value you've entered.
- Value between...
- Scan for values that are within the specified interval.
The following scantypes are available only when doing a 'next scan':
- Value between... at least xx%
- Scan for values that are within the specified percentage interval compared to the last, first or saved scan result.
- Increased
- If the value of a address has increased it will be added to the list.
- Increased by...
- If the value of a address has increased with the specified amount it will be added to the list.
- Increased by... at least xx%
- If the value of an address has increased within the specified percentage interval, it will be added to the list.
- Decreased
- If the value of a address has decreased it will be added to the list.
- Decreased by...
- If the value of a address has decreased with the specified amount it will be added to the list.
- Decreased by... at least xx%
- If the value of an address has decreased within the specified percentage interval, it will be added to the list.
- Changed
- This scantype will check if the value of an address has changed or not. If it has changed it'll be added to the list.
- Unchanged
- This scantype will check if the value of an address has changed or not . If it has not it'll be added to the list.
- Compare to first/saved scan
- This scantype isn't actually a scantype but when selected it will change the values you are comparing with with the values of a previously saved scan. This can be the first scan, but also a saved scan.
- Compare to previous scan
- When you're currently comparing to old values you can use this to compare against the results of the last scan (back to normal behavior).
- Not
- This will do one of the above scans, but only returns addresses that do NOT adhere to the requirement
