The maximum value for a four-digit decimal number is 10x10x10x10 - 1 = 9999, not 9x9x9x9 = 6561. The maximum value for an unsigned double word is analogously 256x256x256x256 - 1 = 4,294,967,295, not 255x255x255x255 = 4,228,250,625.
Unfortunately you cant have 256x256x256x256 in a game, it is impossible.

The 256x256x256x256 is combinations :P

like 0x0x0x0 would be 1st
0x0x0x1 would be 2nd and so on..

There is no 8bit hex value for 256, it has to be 16bit if u want 256.

Are we talking about a money trainer? If so, is the amount of money stored in a double word? If so, is the amount of money stored in four separate values (four bytes) or a single value (one double word)?

(Hint: What's the point in having four separate, low values - 0 to 255 - for a single, large amount of money?)

And, if you look closely, I wrote 256x256x256x256 - 1...

DABhand, you see, based on my previous encounters with you, I still cannot decide whether you were born as an idiot or you're just acting like one. (Although I just started to wonder how a born idiot could code game trainers...)

I don't think you're making fun of me by posting something stupid and then expecting me to correct it; I think, you're just making a fool out of yourself. Good luck with that!

Having learned from your pathetic childish "trick", in the future, I'm going to correct you if you say something stupid but I'm not going to cause you happiness by explaining why it was stupid; I leave that up to you...

Stop being a twat Joe. If your still mumbling over your Hungarian copyright law then keep it to the side.

I was bored and wanted to have a bit of fun. Look at how you react like a bleeding 5 year old, that is sad indeed.

And I just dont do trainers either.


you need to chill out, and calm down, and stop acting like a bloody child.


Ahhh I know why, cause you thought you were besting me you was happy, then when I showed that it was a fake thing you go all moody.

Bleh. Besides dont insite flames by attacking members.

DABhand, you're right, it was extremely stupid of me to fall for it. Thanks for showing me how trigger-happy I sometimes can be.
