Poke

What is Poke?

Poke is the ultimate gaming utility. It's a small program that allows you to cheat in every game out there - published or to be published in the future!

Description

Several years ago it seemed like a good idea to create a product for cheating in games. The software was written but as a product it never really happened... So we've dusted it off and now it's given away for free. It works with most single-player games out there. It DOES NOT work with multiplayer games. Plus if you want to cheat at multiplayer games you simply just suck, and we don't want you to have it anyway.

Documentation

Below is the orginal documentation that was packaged with the software. Have fun!







How does it work?

If you are an avid gameplayer, you probably have a basic understanding on how computers and computer games work.

In a computer game, all numerical values are stored 'as is' in memory. We'll use a great game, The Sims, to show you how easy it is to take advantage of this fact using Poke.

Screenshots

When you start Poke, it will present you with a list of running processes. If there's a game running, it is usually the first in this list. If you haven't started the game yet, do so now, then ALT-TAB back to Poke, click Refresh, and select it from the list.


You should select the process you want to work with. When you are done, you are presented witht the main Poke dialog.


Click on 'Add...' to add a memory location. The Poke Search Wizard will start. With the Sims, it is extremely easy to find the memory location where the money is stored. Go into the game, look at how much cash you have, pause the game, ALT-TAB back to Poke and enter this value into the input field, then click "Next".


It should not take more than a few seconds for Poke to find all memory locations within the game that contain this value. When you get the screen below, go back to the game, unpause it, spend a bit of cash, pause the game, and come back to Poke. Enter the new amount in the input field and click "Next".


Poke should find a single location on the second search. It will prompt you for a description of the memory location. Enter something descriptive, then click "Finish".


You are now back at the main dialog, with the memory location you just found showing in the list. You can click 'Current value' and edit the amount of cash your household has - or you can click the Lock checkbox to keep the cash locked at this value.


Will it work with my favorite game?

Poke will most likely work with any game out there. You just have to know what you are looking for. It might be that you won't find what you're looking for, or you might find two or more locations for the same value. In this case experiment with caution.


Game Notes

Diablo II

Diablo II is a little bit trickier than most other games. The creators store critical values in two separate memory locations - and if there is a mismatch between the two, the lower one will be automatically copied to the other location.

But worry not!

  • Finding Money (either in the stash or in your backpack)
      Remember how much you have, go to Poke, and find the two memory locations. It will take several passes of searching and spending or dropping gold. When you are left with only two locations, click the "Add all locations" and then click "Next". Name the locations.

      Lock both locations with the Lock checkbox, then edit them. (Set them to the same value!) Now unlock the addresses, and you can go back to the game and have the cash you wanted!
  • Gaining Levels
      Remember how much experience you have, then search the two locations as described above. You will need to kill a few monsters between each search to gain XP. When you have the two locations where Experience is stored, edit them with the Lock method, so that you will skip several levels.

      Upon returning to the game, you will have plenty of XP. Kill one monster to trigger a level check - and bingo, you have gained a few levels. Repeat if you like.
