I'm trying to move the string into the esi pointer but it's only going halfway. "IS U"

Can anyone help Question

Code:

originalcode:
lea eax,[string]
mov eax,[eax]
mov [esi+2A78],eax


exit:
jmp returnhere

string:
db 'IS UNDEFEATED',0

"Swaat.exe"+03A4D:
jmp newmem
nop

eax is a 4 byte register- it only moves 4 bytes at a time.

You're going to be in big trouble if the source string is larger than the destination. (buffer overflow)
If you're absolutely certain it's fine, use strcpy:
Code:
originalcode:
{$ccode gamestr=esi}
char *strcpy( char *restrict dest, const char *restrict src );
extern char string[0];

char *dest = (char *)gamestr + 0x2A78;
const char *src = string;
strcpy(dest, src);
{$asm}
...
