Whats the best way to search for values in memory with only PS3MAPI? #953

I have to edit values in memory for a game mod im working on, and its getting annoying to have to dump the memory to be able to find the correct addresses again, since they change quite often.

One part of the offset stays the same, but bruteforcing is very time consuming. Is there a better way to search for values in memory? Whenever I try to search for the value i need, it always says it cant find it, so it seems to only search the 256b length thats shown in PS3MAPI. Is there a way to search the whole memory?

You can dump the memory from the process or perform a full dump, then use an HEX editor to search the memory offset.

If the dump is from a process, the offsets are relative to the process and you need to use /setmem.ps3mapi to make changes to the values in memory.

If the dump is from a full dump (256MB), the offsets are absolute and you can use /poke.lv1?address=value to change the memory.

NetCheat offers a nice user interface to search values from a PC. Latest version is compatible with PS3MAPI https://netcheat.gamehacking.org/ncUpdater/
