DOSBox Static Addresses
DOSBox 0.74-2 32bit's vmem base pointer is 0x01D1ABFC
DOSBox 0.74 32bit's vmem base pointer is 0x01D3A1A0
DOSBox 0.73 32bit's vmem base pointer is 0x01D3FD40
DOSBox r4132 32bit's vmem base pointer is 0x01F7942C
Add Address Manually > [X] Pointer > (type in) 0x01D3A1A0 > (press) OK.
You should see in the Address column "P->(ADDRESS)". That is your temporary vmem base address.
Use cheat engine and find some values. This will give you a temporary address for the value.
Open Windows 10 calculator in Programmer mode and press Hex. Or, find a hex calculator website.
Put in your temporary address for the value you found and minus the vmem base address. This will be your offset.

Do specify that on a different DOSBox version this will not work as indicated (as the static pointer to the allocation will be different).

Both in the title and the post I stated this is for version 0.74. Would they assume it works for other versions?

Trust me, people do this shit. They overlook the version and post "it doesn't work for my DOSBox"; then when you ask them which version, you can tell why :D

DOSBox Static Addresses
DOSBox hasn't been updated in a while now but they still do regular daily builds. (Since 2012 I think when the last current release was made.)
This looks like it could be useful though, although I myself update the binaries on a weekly basis. (6+ years of multiple daily builds means a lot of accumulated fixes and improvements and one day perhaps they'll have a new official release up, maybe.)
EDIT: Just have to check and yep these are still called 0.74.0 it seems.

I miss the old days of PEEK and POKE cheats on the C64. Static memory made things so much easier. Nice work detailing how to work with DOSBox, though. I've always wondered how they try to handle static memory on a dynamic memory platform.

I noticed some GOG games use DOSBox 0.73 so here is the base pointer for that: 0x01D3fD40
Update 7/24/2018: Added r4132 base pointer: 0x01F7942C
I'll be releasing a video in a few days to show how you can find the base pointer for any version of dosbox easily.

I added a video to help locate the base address of DosBox on every version.

DOSBox Static Addresses
Do you have similar stuff(or anything) on PS3 and Wii emulators?
Re: DOSBox Static Addresses
I have something similar for CEMU; but in general: the application executable will store pointers to emulator page allocations. It's all a matter of determining the start of the allocation to then just mem-search for a pointer to it
Re: DOSBox Static Addresses
Thanks for your very useful tutorial @erfg12!
I dont know if you have already tried it with DosBox 0.74-2 (release from August 30th, 2018)
I've found the DosBox 0.74-2 base pointer address at: 0x01D1ABFC
But I have some strange things...
1/ Using CE to find data addresses (like score, lifes etc...) addresses are BEFORE than the DosBox 0.74-2 address
IE: at the base pointer address 0x01D1ABFC -> value is 0ADB9020 but the address for a data like the game score is at 09DDFA10 so the offset is 0ADB9020 - FD9610
2/ But if I launch the DosBox emulator, for the same game, the offset still negative but different!
I dont know if I'm doing something wrong or if there is something special with this version...
Thanks,
vince

Re: DOSBox Static Addresses
If anyone wants to know, the static address for the DOSBox Daum SVN build ([Link]) is
0x27944CC
0x27944CC
Re: DOSBox Static Addresses
There is another solution. If you compile DOSBox yourself, there will be a .PDB file that generates a different virtual memory base address that makes it easier to find between versions. Here's a little video about it.

Re: DOSBox Static Addresses
To make things 'easier', just add the base pointer
Then when adding entries make them children of the base pointer and use address notations like
it will end up with the address of the pointer+xxxx
Then when adding entries make them children of the base pointer and use address notations like
Code: Select all
+xxxx

Re: DOSBox Static Addresses
Anyone have the base address for DosBox 0.74.2.1?
