There doesn't seem to be any good information on how to do pointer stuff in MHS, so I'm requesting someone who knows their way around it to make a guide. Specifically, finding a pointer is easy enough (just use Pointer Search). But if after that you want to define a memory address as being for example 'X Position: Pointer+0x30', so when the pointer points to a new address X position still shows X position, how do I do that in MHS? The help file describes conceptually that you'd do this but doesn't say what buttons/settings accomplish this, unhelpfully. EDIT: I'm seeing a lot of chatter in #tasvideos like 'Maybe you should use Cheat Engine instead?'. If you make a post like 'You can do this easily in Cheat Engine, and here's the steps you use, so you should use that instead', then I'll gladly accept that.

I wasn't aware MHS supported pointers. Cheat Engine has it and it is explained in the tutorial. Here is a tutorial for making it work properly with Dolphin 32-bit, but you can adapt it to other emulators if you know what you are doing.

I mentioned a topic on MHS forum that taught me about pointers, and it's this: http://memoryhacking.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=2592 Hopefully it's relevant...
