I would like to be able to use a memory editor with dosbox under Linux to find and edit memory values. I have used a program called scanmem, but I can never get it to find a value that I'm looking for. It works under native games, but not in DosBox. Is there a better tool for the job? Thank you.
Maybe using Game Wizard 32 inside DOSBox will work. I know some Windows memory editors that work, but I don't know what Linux programs work.
If you find one of those, please share your knowledge...

I actually found Game Wizard 32 from a suggestion on another post, but no instructions on how to use it were included so it was useless to me. I ran the GW.EXE binary and it just hangs. I even tried the GWTUTOR.EXE and it does the same. Any ideas? Thanks.
For what it's worth I have used scanmem to cheat running crossfire in DOSBox (so many games by that name, I mean the one from 1981 from Online Systems that became Sierra Online.)
Anyway, I haven't tried this personally, but there is a GUI front-end for scanmem called GameConqueror.

You can try that out and see if you are more successful.
You are 199k RAM short of having enough memory.
You need to buy more memory or remove any memory resident programs, Dude.

I use Game Wizard 32 outside of DosBox. Works like a charm.
I forgot to mention. Under XP inside of Virtualbox it should work.
There's something called The Infinity Machine that will work from within DOSBox, but I doubt it will work if the game you want to cheat in uses particularly crazy memory tricks.
