Cheat Engine iOS: Unlocking the Secrets – How to Get Started!

Okay, so, today I wanted to mess around with something I’ve been eyeing for a while – getting Cheat Engine working on my iPhone. Yeah, I know, it sounds a bit crazy, but I was curious if it could be done.

First off, I grabbed my iPhone and made sure it was jailbroken. This step is pretty important because Cheat Engine needs deeper access than what Apple usually allows. Jailbreaking is a bit of a hassle, and honestly, it felt like I was going back to the wild west days of iOS.

After that, I fired up Cydia, which is like the App Store for jailbroken devices. From there, I tried to find a version of Cheat Engine that’s supposed to work on iOS. I found some forum posts and a couple of guides that talked about it, but it wasn’t straightforward at all.

I downloaded a few different versions from various sources that people claimed worked. The installation process was a bit of a mess. I had to use some terminal commands, which, let me tell you, made me feel like a total hacker. Or maybe a script kiddie, I don’t know.

Once I got something that seemed like Cheat Engine installed, I tried to open it. Most of the time, the app just crashed. It was frustrating, to say the least. I spent hours trying different tweaks and settings, hoping something would work.

Finally, I got a version that actually opened! It looked like the Cheat Engine I’m used to on PC, but it was super buggy. I tried to attach it to a game I had running, one of those idle clicker games that I play when I’m bored.

The Real Struggle Begins

Trying to find the memory addresses for things like in-game currency was a nightmare. The interface was not optimized for touch at all, and it was hard to input values. Also, the game kept crashing, or Cheat Engine would just freeze. It was a mess.

After hours of trial and error, I managed to change the value of my in-game coins. I felt a rush of excitement! But it was short-lived. The game either didn’t register the changes, or it just reset back to what it was before. I tried a few other games with similar results. It was pretty clear that this wasn’t going to be a smooth experience.

It’s Not Worth It

In the end, I have to admit that it wasn’t really worth the effort. Yeah, I technically got Cheat Engine to run on my iPhone, but it was so unstable and difficult to use that it’s not practical at all.

So, there you have it. My adventure in trying to get Cheat Engine working on iOS. It was a fun experiment, but I think I’ll stick to using it on my PC. If anyone else is thinking of trying this, I’d say save yourself the trouble. It’s a cool idea, but the execution just isn’t there yet.

I just hope someone can come up with a way to solve it perfectly.
