Spec score 6.9 #17 of 23 in Game Memory Editors

What it is

memedit is a free, open-source command-line memory scanner and editor for offline, single-player Windows games. It attaches to a running process, scans for a visible value, narrows candidate addresses as values change, and can write a replacement value. Supported scan types are int32, uint32, int64, float32, and float64, with int32 as the default. Interactive commands include first and repeated scans, changed or unchanged comparisons, candidate listing, candidate counting, value writes, reset, help, and quit. Candidates and previous values remain in memory during a session and are discarded when the program exits. Scan controls include alignment, parallel workers, chunk settings, and file-mapped memory regions. The binary targets Windows/amd64 and 64-bit processes. Most process access requires Administrator rights through UAC unless --no-elevate is used. Scans for common values such as 0 or 1 warn about millions of possible matches and high memory use, prompting unless --yes is set. The project warns against multiplayer games protected by VAC, EAC, or BattlEye.

Spec sheet

Purpose
memedit is a command-line memory scanner and editor for offline, single-player Windows games.Read 7 Oct 2026 · github.com
Intended users
The maker describes the tool as intended for offline single-player games and learning how memory scanning works.Read 7 Oct 2026 · github.com
License
The repository identifies its license as MIT.Read 7 Oct 2026 · github.com
Maker
The license copyright notice names Eduard Diachenko.Read 7 Oct 2026 · github.com
Anti-cheat warning
The maker warns against using memedit on multiplayer games protected by VAC, EAC, or BattlEye because memory access can trigger bans.Read 7 Oct 2026 · github.com
Build
The project is written in Go without CGo and requires Go 1.27.1 or later to build.Read 7 Oct 2026 · github.com
Build requirement
Building memedit requires Go 1.27.1 or later; the README says make build can cross-compile the Windows binary from any platform.Read 7 Oct 2026 · github.com
Candidate persistence
Candidates and their previous values remain in memory during the interactive session and are discarded when the user quits.Read 7 Oct 2026 · github.com
Commands
Session commands include first and next scans, changed or unchanged comparisons, candidate listing, value writes, reset, help, and quit.Read 7 Oct 2026 · github.com
Common-value safeguard
Scans for common values such as integer 0 or 1 warn that they may match millions of addresses and use substantial memory, then prompt before proceeding unless --yes is set.Read 7 Oct 2026 · github.com
Memory handling
Candidates and their previous values are kept in memory during the session and discarded when the program quits.Read 7 Oct 2026 · github.com
Permissions
Opening most game processes needs Administrator rights, which memedit requests through a UAC prompt unless --no-elevate is used.Read 7 Oct 2026 · github.com
Platform requirement
The binary targets windows/amd64 and attaches to 64-bit processes.Read 7 Oct 2026 · github.com
Scan controls
The CLI supports alignment, parallel worker and chunk settings, and an option to include file-mapped memory regions.Read 7 Oct 2026 · github.com
Session commands
Interactive commands include first and repeated scans, candidate listing, writing values, counting candidates, resetting, and quitting.Read 7 Oct 2026 · github.com
Supported platform
The binary targets windows/amd64 and attaches to 64-bit processes.Read 7 Oct 2026 · github.com
Use warning
The project says to use memedit only with offline, single-player games and warns against multiplayer games protected by anti-cheat systems.Read 7 Oct 2026 · github.com
Value types
Supported scan types are int32, uint32, int64, float32, and float64, with int32 as the default.Read 7 Oct 2026 · github.com
Workflow
It attaches to a running process, scans for a visible value, narrows candidate addresses as the value changes, and can write a new value.Read 7 Oct 2026 · github.com
Write behavior
Both set commands write without asking for confirmation, and a write can change unrelated game state if the chosen address is wrong.Read 7 Oct 2026 · github.com

Strong points and limits

Strong points

  • Free and open source under the MIT License
  • Supports integer and floating-point scan types
  • Interactive scans can compare changed or unchanged values
  • Configurable alignment and parallel scanning
  • Can write selected memory values

Limits

  • Windows/amd64 binary targets 64-bit processes only
  • Most game processes require Administrator rights
  • No pointer scanning, debugger, or scripting support
  • Writes occur without confirmation

Who it suits

memedit suits Windows users learning memory scanning in offline, single-player games. It is intended for 64-bit processes and requires command-line use and, usually, administrator access.

Verdict

memedit provides focused memory scanning and editing through a command-line session. Its safeguards and warnings matter because incorrect writes can alter unrelated game state, and multiplayer anti-cheat use can trigger bans.
