As the topic title says what would i need to learn to make one of those game speedhacks.Could i do it with a .dll file, and are most of the methods that programs like speedgear use detected?
I have a little c++ experience. So i would perfer c++ or c as a langauge to base this on. I know would i have to learn windows api for sure. But my main question is how exactly do they make the computer's cpu / the program run faster.

Theres a few ways to do speed hacks in games. One of the more easier approaches is to speed up the entire game. To do that you use:
QueryPerformanceCounter

Other methods would be locate the address in memory that holds the speed at which you move. In some games it's easy to find using different walking modes. (Run, Walk, Crawl, etc.) And in some games it's easy to find via your weight if the game slows you down the more you have on you.

EDIT:: An example of the first method via hooking QueryPerformanceCounter and returning a diff value:

thanks for the reply. ANd i would like to use the second method but it would be a pain with server checks/ the fact that the game is full screen only and closes when you click outside the window in forced windowed mode.
