Cheat Engine's Ultimap Tool
Added 2023-05-17 20:02:42 +0000 UTCCheat Engine's Ultimap is a powerful tool that can help you understand more about a game's internal operations, particularly when it comes to the execution flow of the game's code. This is a valuable resource when you're reverse engineering games, as it can give you insight into how the game works at a much more fundamental level than just observing its external behavior.
At its core, Ultimap is a tool for doing dynamic binary instrumentation (DBI), specifically for full-system profiling. It leverages the performance monitoring unit (PMU) of the CPU to gather information about the game's code execution in real-time. Ultimap works by utilizing Intel's Processor Trace (Intel PT) technology, a hardware feature found on more recent Intel CPUs, which allows tracing of executed instructions in the CPU.
