Cheat Engine Clone — GDI+ Edition
A memory scanner, disassembler, hex editor, and AOB signature maker built entirely with native Win32 GDI+. No ImGui. No DirectX. Pure C++ and raw Windows API.
MikuWrathEngine is a lightweight, single-binary memory analysis tool for Windows — a Cheat Engine alternative that skips heavyweight UI frameworks in favor of raw Win32 GDI+ rendering.
Built from scratch in C++20 with zero external UI dependencies, MWE delivers a full-featured memory manipulation toolkit in a single executable. The entire interface is rendered through immediate-mode GDI+ widgets — no ImGui, no DirectX, no Electron. Just pure Win32.
The VS2022-inspired dark blue theme with neon glow accents provides a clean, professional aesthetic while maintaining the hacker/terminal vibe. Every widget — buttons, text inputs, combo boxes, scrollbars — is hand-rolled in immediate-mode style, giving the engine full control over rendering and input.
A full toolkit for memory analysis, reverse engineering, and game hacking.
Async first-scan and next-scan with 8 value types: Byte, 2/4/8 Bytes, Float, Double, String, and AOB. Supports exact value, bigger/smaller than, between, changed/unchanged, increased/deased. Hex mode and writable-only filtering.
AsyncStandalone window with synchronized hex dump and disassembly views. Module-relative address formatting, inline hex byte editing with nibble-level precision, and scroll-sync between hex and disasm panels.
GDI+Capstone-powered disassembly with x86/x64 auto-detection. Follow-in-hex, go-to-disasm navigation, and instruction-level context menu for NOP, patch, and assemble operations.
CapstoneInteractive byte-grid signature builder with per-byte wildcard toggling. Generate AOB patterns like 7F ?? 90 41 and copy to clipboard with one click.
One-click NOP for any instruction or hex line. Patch bytes dialog accepts space-separated hex like 90 90 EB 05 — write directly to target process memory.
Persistent address table with freeze/unfreeze, inline value editing, type switching, descriptions, and save/load to .mwt files. Right-click context menu for browse, copy, and delete.
Process picker with live filter, module enumeration, and memory region listing. Auto-attach by process name, 64-bit detection, and module-base address resolution for module+offset syntax.
Configurable font size (6–20px), auto-attach target, and persistent settings saved to miku_settings.ini. Dynamic layout adapts to font size changes.
VS2022-inspired dark blue color scheme with multi-pass neon glow borders. Immediate-mode widget system with clipping, text scrolling, and selection support. Fully anti-aliased GDI+ rendering.
UIFrom process selection to memory patching in five steps.
Click Open Process in the process bar to open the process picker. Filter by name, then double-click a process to attach. MWE auto-detects 32-bit vs 64-bit and initializes the disassembler accordingly. You can also configure Auto Attach in Settings to automatically attach when a named process launches.
Choose a value type (Byte, 2/4/8 Bytes, Float, Double, String, or AOB) and a scan type (Exact Value, Bigger/Smaller Than, Between, or Unknown Init). Enter the value and click First Scan. For subsequent scans, use Next Scan with Changed/Unchanged/Increased/Decreased to narrow results. Enable Hex mode for hex input, or Writable to filter by page protection.
Double-click a scan result (or right-click → Add to Address Table) to pin it. The address table supports freeze/unfreeze, inline value editing (press Enter to write), type switching, descriptions, and save/load to .mwt files. Right-click a row for browse-in-viewer, copy address, or delete.
Click Mem Viewer to open the standalone memory viewer window. The top panel shows disassembly; the bottom shows the hex dump. Use Ctrl+G to go to an address (supports module+offset syntax). Click any hex byte to enter inline editing mode — type hex digits to modify bytes directly.
Right-click any instruction in the disassembly for NOP, Patch Bytes, AOB Signature, or Assemble. The AOB Signature Maker shows a clickable byte grid — toggle any byte to a wildcard (??) and copy the resulting pattern. The Assemble dialog accepts raw hex bytes to patch the current instruction.
Build from source with CMake and MSVC (Visual Studio 2022).
Capstone is fetched automatically via CMake FetchContent — no manual dependency installation required.
