Cheat Engine vs Ollydbg


What is the difference between both programs besides that one is used for cheating at games and the other is a debugger? I know that Cheat Engine is a memory editor. But what does Ollydbg do exactly; does it only edit .exe files?


Solution

  • CE it's focused on memory editing and analisys, Olly can do the same as CE but its focus is code analysis and patching, there is tasks that you can use both, a case is that CE can easily find a portion of code that changes memory (Olly can do it too but CE makes it very easy) and than you can modify the code with olly.
