Creating Your Cheats

In PS4 Cheater, click [Refresh Processes] and select [eboot.bin] from the drop-down menu above
Check [Select All] below the list of processes
Find a numerical value in your game that you wish to edit such as health points, currency or quantity of an item
Enter the [Value] that you wish to manipulate
Select [4 bytes]
You may wish to experiment with other options such as [2 bytes] or [float] if you do not find your desired results. Parameters that are not represented numerically such as health bars are commonly found as [float] point values.
Select [Exact Value]
You can select the [Unknown Initial Value] in cases where you do not know the exact value to enter, i.e. values that are not represented numerically in the game’s UI.
Click [First Scan]
The first scan can take a while as it scans the entire PS4 memory, please allow some time for it to complete. You can click [Stop] at any time to bring up the list of current results
A list of results will appear on the left side after PS4 Cheater scans the PS4’s memory
Change your chosen value in the PS4 game, i.e. lose health, spend currency or use an item
Enter the new [Value] after carrying out your action
You may wish to use options such as [Decreased Value] or [Changed Value] if you do not know the new numerical value.
Click [Next Scan]
The list of results on the left should filter down as PS4 Cheater scans your memory
You can repeat the steps of changing the value in-game and clicking [Next Scan] with the new [Value] to filter down your results continuously. If you do not know the [Exact Value], search options such as [Decreased Value] or [Increased Value] are recommended for finding values that are not represented numerically in the game’s UI.
Right click the result and select [Add to Cheat List]
You can now edit the [Value] in the cheat list to manipulate the numerical values in-game
You can check [Lock] to lock the value in-game, essentially giving you infinite health or currency etc as the value will not change.
