DOSBox Cheat Engine
DOSBox Cheat Engine is a single-page web application for scanning, editing, and freezing emulated memory in DOSBox Staging. Search for values, narrow the results, and add memory addresses to a Cheat Table; values in the table can be changed by double-clicking or frozen so they do not decrease. Live memory polling can be paused during CPU-heavy game segments. Cheat tables can be exported and loaded as JSON files, and Shift-click or Ctrl-click supports range selection. The application connects to DOSBox Staging through its Web Server API, which must be enabled in the emulator configuration. It requires DOSBox Staging 0.83 or newer; the API web server's default local address is http://127.0.0.1:8086. Precompiled executables are offered for Windows and Linux, and the Python source can be run directly using only the standard library, without a pip installation. The project is MIT licensed and free. Closing the browser tab sends a signal for the Python server to shut down gracefully.
